As the years go by, time flies away and slips away faster and faster. I have so many things I want to do, experience & accomplish in this lifetime, some involving others, some not. It's easy to feel frustrated when things don't happen as quickly, efficiently and effectively as I would prefer but that doesn't accomplish anything good.
Lately I've been having so many creative ideas, the thought of turning them all into reality can almost seem overwhelming. Each thing takes time, work and resources to complete and I ask myself how I'm ever going to get it all accomplished. The answer: take a deep breath and redirect myself into focusing on one thing at a time in the right order. Be patient. Be willing to ask for help on the projects that need it and better utilize the resources available to redistribute the work and move things along in a timely fashion.
Once time's gone, I can never get it back and I don't want to waste it. Throughout each day I find myself asking myself, "Is this the most important thing to do right now to move forward with my long-term goals, priorities and values?" If the answer is no, I know to stop and refocus.
I'm also carefully scheduling and spending my time, effort and energy on activities and experiences that matter the most now and for the future to not waste this precious gift of time on things that don't really matter.
#12. Today I'm grateful for each moment of time spent doing the things that will matter most in the bigger life picture with the people I love and cherish most.
