Are You Taking Your Time?

Have you ever said, “I don’t have time to go to the gym?”

Have you ever opted to eat out, because you didn’t have time to cook  a healthy meal?

Sure you have. So have I.

You feel like you will never find the time.

And you know what?

You’re 100% right.

Yep, you read it. I wrote it.

“But Ben, you have spent the last few weeks talking about motivation, getting things done, managing time so that we can get more stuff done… what’s going on?”

Well, noting really.

What I mean is exactly what Charles Buxton said. But before I tell you what he said, let me tell you what he did. He was a brewer, a philanthropist, a writer, and a Member of Parliament in Britain.

In other words, he was a busy dude, who did a lot of stuff that he wanted to do.

So, how did he do it?

You will never find time for anything. If you want time you must make it.

And there it is.

If you keep looking for it, you will never find it. There is no extra time laying around. But…

Remember yesterday’s post. Time is given to you. Every day. In 24 hour increments. All the money in the world won’t buy you more. But remember this… time is given to you. It is yours.

That means you can make it into anything you want.

Do what you have to do, but make it work for you. Make time to exercise. Make time to plan and prepare healthy meals.

Find all of the things that are stealing your time from you… and systematically get rid of them.

Let me say it this way…

Take your time… back!
