Another mantra which we have been conditioned to believe is all about the lack of time. If you tell someone, why don’t you exercise, read or spend some quality time with your family or someone you really care for; the answer would be I would love to or I really want to, but “I don’t have enough time”. Well, the truth of the matter is that among most of the resources given to human beings, it is mainly time in which we are all equal. I have never heard about anyone who has more than 24 hours a day (please tell me if you know someone who has!). The challenge though is how we prioritize our allocation of time and what are we giving the most priority. Are our priorities mostly unimportant and time wasters or important and valuable based on what we value most in our life? Are we spending most of our time on facebook or reading a book? Are we using our time to play games and endelessly reading the news or exercising and investing quality time with the people we love? How we are spending our time is probably one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves because we can always get more money but not more time. How are you spending your time?!
“I don’t have enough time”….Sorry, you DO have!

Well – I do not think that it is about discussing if someone has time but rather how time is prioritized as you describe correctly. Don’t you think, that if someone tells you that he / she has no time for anything you ask them for – then obviously priorities have been set. May it be consciously or unconsciously – and that there is no need for disagreement – maybe there is space for a discussion – but taking into consideration the variety of humans living on this earth with different life styles I do not think that anyone can judge and shall judge the way someone spends his own life-time or assume that what is correct for one person can be right for another one no matter what kind of relationship.Whatever someone does is for a certain purpose most of times good for that individual – even if it is to suffer – not upon anyone to judge- right?
Hi Tony, thanks a lot for your comment. I fully agree with you. This post is about reminding ourselves that we do have time whenever we decide to because as long as we say “we don’t have time”, we are disempowering ourselves and making “time” controling our life which is not really true. In short, this post is about empowering ourselves to be in control and yes you are right everyone is free the way he/she makes use of their time the way he/she wants.
