Boy, it's tempting to skip this blog post today. I've got so much to do in the next few days that it would be easy to say, "I don't have time to blog today or this week." But considering what I wrote in my post titled, Time, I find myself weighing the fact that it's not a matter of whether or not I have time, but whether this is a priority or not. And for now, I want this blog to be a priority for me. It doesn't take much time, hence the title 10 Minute Abundance. I try to limit myself in how much time I spend on each post. I don't always get it done in 10 minutes but I'm conscious of the time while I work on it. And the fact that I've given myself "permission" to just spend 10 minutes on it often helps me get started.
I'm really trying to eliminate the phrase, "I don't have time" from my life, because it's not accurate and it makes an easy excuse for not doing things. When you tell somebody, "I don't have time for (fill in the blank)" you'll rarely be challenged. It's accepted in our culture. We're all busy! But again, I contend it's a matter of priorities and we use our time on our top priorities. There's no right or wrong to how we prioritize and my priorities will be different than yours. My priorities will be different from day to day. For example, exercise is a popular one for the "I don't have time" phrase. Well some days, "I don't have time" because other activities are a higher priority. But if I determine whether or not I'm going to exercise on a given day based on whether it's a priority or not, I'm in control of the decision. I'm choosing. If I say, "I don't have time" and leave it at that, I've taken the decision out of it. I'm the victim of my schedule. So choose your priorities! Take control of your day!
Blessings!
