Mind Your Time

Everyone loves to live in the moment. The sad thing is that 'the moment', as the name suggests, happens less frequently than a morally uplifting episode of The Family Guy. So in our very regular moments we are often found in a mental battle with the office clock trying to move it's hands closer to 5pm. But does this really have to be your story? Of course not! In fact, if you are strolling half asleep through your days waiting on special occasions to be inspired or exuberant about life you are not adding much value to your life! Whether or not you are consciously aware of it, who you become is the sum- total of a life lived ONE day at a time and not through the frame of grand occasions.

More don'ts...Don't get so bugged down with the numbing 'rat race' of life that you lose sight of the fullness you can experience daily. Don't join the long line of individuals who have pocketed the invaluable currency of their dreams and fresh ideas. Don't wait on your pay cheque, vacation time, or facebook account for the permission to be optimistic about your goals. You really can begin to meet each day with optimism and a sense of fulfillment and it requires far less than a 6x8 office cubicle space or Windows 7 [thank God].

What is required? It requires you to decide to make a change today. 'Do' a type of life change that motivates YOU to look for and create opportunities that litter even the lull of a routine day. Now let's not be fooled, it's hard work that often requires persistence, repetition, introspection and spiritual empowerment. The good thing is you already have the most important raw materials to start the job - the capacity to channel and utilize your mind, volition, and emotions in productive life transforming ways. In the words of the proverbial altar call - will you make a decisive choice to start today?
