The point is, you have the power to live the life you desire, when you are willing to accept responsibility for where you are now. No one has forced you to be where you are, you simply did what you believed was required based on your past conditioning. Without awareness, you have felt as though you had no power, and unconsciously you perpetuated the same circumstances.

Remember, this is not about the “time” or what you do with your time, it’s about bringing awareness to this moment that has you then create the next moment consciously. Your conscious awareness is what has life become brighter, from there your choices open up and you can begin to become the deliberate creator you were born to be.

See if you can become aware of when you say to someone that you don’t have time and notice how that feels within you.

Now I’m sure if you feel strongly about your commitments you’ll be wanting to defend your position and say things like, “well if I don’t put so many hours in at work, the bills won’t get paid and we’ll lose our house”, or something to that effect. If that’s the case, then quite frankly, you’re out of balance and most likely, living beyond your means. The circumstances you’re in now are simply a reflection of what you believe. The idea that you need to live in a certain neighborhood, or a certain type of house, or drive a certain type of car, or send the kids to a certain type of school all stem from preconditioned thoughts of the way you see life, it’s not set in stone, you can change this if you choose.

Now don’t get me wrong, you should live the lifestyle your heart desires, and maybe there are other ways of attracting money that doesn’t involve you devoting so much of your time. Ultimately, you deserve to live a life that is a reflection of your abundant, joyous Self, it’s just that you may not have found a way to do it so that you are in harmony with YOU.

OK, lets say you genuinely feel that you don’t have time, you work 60 hours a week and when you add travel to and from work, cooking, eating, sleeping and showering, you find that it doesn’t leave much time for anything else (and if you have children, it’s even less time for you!).

Then lets say that all of a sudden there’s a situation where you or a family member needs to go to hospital, time seems to be found! Where did the time come from? Well, the time didn’t come from anywhere, there was simply a reallocation from the time you were spending in one area, to this new area. You have a new priority and everything else gets put on the back burner until you or your family member recuperates.

This is an extreme case and it’s really just to highlight that we can allocate time for anything that is a priority to us.

We all live with, 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week, so when someone asks you to do something, do you find yourself saying, “I’d like to, but I don’t have time”?

If so, what you’re doing is stating that there are other things in your life that take priority over what’s being asked of you, it’s not that you don’t have the time. Time is one of those convenient excuses that people tend to use often to politely say they really aren’t interested in doing something.

This may sound harsh, but in truth we all have time for whatever we truly want to do, or think we need to do.

So what happens if you do choose to take things a bit easier and some things don’t get done? It means that they’ll either get done later, someone else will do it or it won’t get done at all. It’ll all depend on the importance of it to you. And if you find that your employer doesn’t have your well being as a priority, then there are other employers that do and you may want to seek them out.

Having said all this, changing the way you operate is not so easy. You may find that you make changes like working less and learning to smell the roses but then it brings up feelings of guilt that has you feel indulgent, or that you don’t really deserve to live a life that is easier or free of struggle. If this is the case, I suggest you look at some of my previous articles that deal with how the mind works and how you can begin to reclaim your power.

The point is, you have the power to live the life you desire, when you are willing to accept responsibility for where you are now. No one has forced you to be where you are, you simply did what you believed was required based on your past conditioning.

Time is an interesting concept, it passes slowly if you watch it, but when you don’t pay attention to it, it passes quickly!

As a child, when I couldn’t wait to be a teenager, it felt that time would never go by and birthdays seemed to take an eternity to arrive. But as an adult, it seems as though the years just fly by.

So what’s the truth, do we need to hurry or rush to get things done so that time doesn’t fly by?

The answer can be found in nature. Plants and animals don’t stress about getting anything done, they simply allow whatever comes along, without any fuss, worry or drama.

Have you noticed how you feel when you’re rushing around getting stressed out from too many things to do in too little time? It doesn’t feel good, on the other hand, when you take the time to enjoy what you’re doing and trust that everything will get done in it’s own time, that feels very good.

To put things into a perspective that you may not have thought of, imagine this.

Person A is constantly running on adrenalin, eager to fit as much into life as possible (some would consider this person a go getter and high achiever), the strain on their body depletes so much energy that they die at 65.

Person B has learned to allow life to be fine as it is and flows with what feels good in the moment (it means that certain things don’t get done and to someone looking in, they may think this person is slow or a procrastinator), Person B dies at age 90.

Obviously this is a hypothetical scenario and there are many factors that go into when someone will die. However, the point of this is to highlight that time in itself is an illusion, getting more done in a shorter space of time does not necessarily mean you’ll be better off, it simply gives you the illusion that you’re getting more done. It’s a lot like the story on the hare and the tortoise, speed doesn’t always win in life.

It reminds me of a story, when I was 4, my mum told the primary school that my birthday was in June (instead of October) so that I could start school a year before I was supposed to. In theory, this was supposed to help me have an advantage by having the opportunity to start my career a year earlier. Well, as it turned out I had to repeat year 11, thus putting me where I was supposed to be. I don’t know how things would have turned out if I had started primary school at 5 but I can only speculate that possibly the extra maturity would have meant that I wouldn’t have dropped a year later on. We can sometimes think that we’re taking a short cut but in the bigger scheme of things we’re not at all. Life works in mysterious ways!

A final point I want to make is that when it comes down to it, it’s all about quality of life in this moment, not sacrificing this moment now for the hope of a better moment tomorrow. You find that tomorrow has a tendency to never come in these cases.
