Time Doesn't Have to Be a Four-Letter Word in Your Life!

We've all said; "I just don't have enough time to get it all done," and usually we say such things in total frustration. At times when we are bombarded with tasks to do, and yet we feel hopeless, trapped, and unable to perform the things we need to get done. Yes, it's part of our hustled and hurried world. In walks; "Time Management" but what is time management really? It shouldn't be a negative thing, or one more thing to force upon yourself.

After all, there are already enough rules, regulations, and things we must do in our society and civilization just to survive to maintain our standard of living and quality of life. Time management just seems like one more task or chore, who needs that? Well, I'm here to tell you that time, T-I-M-E, does not have to be a four letter word in your life. It's time for you to take charge and take control. It's time to make "time" work for you. You need to work with your time, not against it.

Now then, this is easy to say for me because prior to retirement, I was in the field of franchising, and that industry which never sleeps. Before that, I was a former track star and I ran the mile. Most of the time, because I happen to be fairly good at it, I was competing against myself, and running against the clock, every second that went by was my enemy, as I was trying to run a sub-4-minute mile. One thing I learned was that time wasn't the enemy, and those seconds counted.

The efficiency at which I used each second of the race mattered. Every stride, every breath, and every movement had to be as efficient as possible to move me down that track and around the corner. There could be no wasted effort, because it would matter at the end of the race as I would kick into the finish line with every ounce I had left, making sure I expanded my last breath as I crossed that line. Sounds rather romantic doesn't it, like a hard-core athlete, and back in the day, well, I lived it.

Indeed, I was one with the track and, time was my best friend, and my worst enemy, and I had to learn to stop fighting it, and start using it to my advantage. I'm here to tell you today that time is not a four letter word, and it is not your enemy, and everyone has the same amount. It's what you do with it that makes or breaks you, and that makes all the difference. That sets you apart from the rest. Don't waste it, use it to your advantage each in every day of your life. Trust me.
