You Have More Time Than You
Think!
By: Dave Winsor
You have more time than you think!
It’s occurred to me several times that we don’t have enough hours in the
day to finish all the jobs we have. We take the “job” home with us.
After all, we are the embodiment of what we do. Create a fantasy.
Smash up against reality. We think up complex games, contest ideas,
promotional ideas, deal with FCC compliance issues and more. Simply
put, our minds are taxed beyond belief. Regular folk who know I’m in
radio say: “It must be crazy being “on” all the time!” Well, for me it
used to be that way, but not anymore. I’m a cancer survivor. Cancer
has been my greatest teacher. Being a survivor has taught me more about
life than I ever knew. One thing in particular that comes to mind is
how you treat the most important person in life. You. What do I mean?
It pays to have the right outlook. If you are not happy about what you
are doing, then you need to figure out why you aren’t happy. We all
have pressure to perform. What makes you any different? If you aren’t
lovin’ every day, then you’ll need to figure this our first.
Do what is difficult first. If you can, the rest is easy. The
“universe” keeps everything in balance and if you’re out of balance, the
“universe” will let you know. It’s harsh when it happens. So, what’s
been bothering you lately? Attack the thing that is bothering you the
most. It’s using up precious resources. When your car is running
rough, you bring it to the mechanic. Do the same for you!
You have more time than you possibly know. It may seem like you don’t
have enough time to finish tasks, but if you become aware of the value
of a second, minute, hour, day, week… then you can see how much time you
really have. It’s nothing short of amazing when you make this
breakthrough.
Treat others as you wish to be treated! If you plant radishes in the
garden, don’t expect to harvest potatoes. It’s nature’s way. If you
treat people like crap, then you’ll get a LOT of fertilizer in return.
Don’t believe me. Try it!
Don’t blame others for your problems! That’s the world’s biggest
excuse. If you have a problem, you created it in the first place to
learn a lesson. Your world is a big mirror of your existence. What is
being screamed at you that you can’t hear?
Don’t blame yourself for your problems! Huh? How many times have you
said to yourself “That was really stupid!” You need to understand you
are “perfect” as you are. You need nothing more. If you don’t know how
to create a vaccine for AIDS, it’s because you’re stupid right? Nope,
you just don’t have the skill set necessary for the job. Your life
isn’t any different. What skill set do you need?
All these things relate to everyday life. As a cancer survivor I can
tell you that they are critically important, and unimportant at the very
same time. If you aren’t kind to yourself, you can’t possibly be kind
to others. If you don’t love yourself unconditionally, you can’t love
others. If you don’t have time for yourself, you can’t possibly have
time for others…..
AND……
You have more time than you think!
Have a great day!
