Its not too late

I often hear that it’s too late and that there just isn’t enough time to do all the things I believe will make me happy. This however is why death was invented.

There is always plenty of time when we not only identify but also set our priorities. A rather macabre statement that should inform our daily decisions.In order to be a nicely balanced person it is important to develop all the functional areas in our lives. Areas such as our health, family relationships. Social relationships, careers and spiritual environments.

We are habit forming creatures that quickly get into a sequential rut. Doing the same things daily. We get up at the same time; have coffee, shower, breakfast etc. Then we’re off to work where the same daily sequence repeats itself. After work we may be off to a gym or more routine suppers and TV, bed and up the next day only to repeat the sequence.We often end up living to work, where our work or careers seems to take up the bulk of our available time.

Its time to take a step back and review what habits you are spending your time on. Do a quick calculation by examining just one day in you life. See how much time is spent on your health, career, spiritual life, friends etc. The ideal would be to strike a balance between the various parts.At worst you should be spending an equal time between work and the other areas of your life. Our careers should be set up to enable us to participate actively in our areas of health, family etc.Your successes in the various parts of your life are in direct relationship to the amount of quality time spent on them.

It’s not too late. Start making time today
