Sit down. Think back over
the last few years, or months. When can you remember being productive about
something you’re doing? Try to think. Is your life going to move forward as a
result of what you’re presently doing?
My last and probably more
important question is: “what are you doing?” The answer to this question is usually
an unequivocal “I’m busy.”
It’s easy for many people
today to say they have a busy life, but they never achieve anything, because
they are involved in pointless distractions, meaningless pastimes, worthless social
media tasks, and purposeless pursuits.
For example in my case when
I tell people I’m busy, I mean I spend hours at my desk researching, and
developing material for new training programs and future books, returning business
phone calls, or emails, following up on clients or sending out a sales letter. Other
times I am teaching in schools, and studying to improve the positive outlook I display
in my role as a person, leader, coach, consultant, and trainer.
What are you doing with
your time, talents, gifts, opportunities, and resources? No one’s time here on
earth is forever. Spend your time doing those things that will make the
powerful and positive changes that will transform your life, and that of your
loved ones.
I know it’s not easy to
keep focused during hard times, but you don’t have a choice, because the secret of
your success is embedded in the regularity of spending your time purposefully. So,
do more than being active, spend your time productively.
