As you mature more and more, you realize how precious LIFE REALLY IS.

OUR TIME IS SO SO VALUABLE; It took me many years to realize this. Using your time wisely with work, friends, family and relationships can be a struggle for all of us. Some questions to ask yourself: How do we spend our time? What better way can we we spend it? And can we think about the things that take your energy away and totally waste our time? These are just a couple of questions I have been asking myself personally.

At some point, I had to spend time with people that are pleasant to be around, not overly negative, and also who are looking to grow in their lives. The stuff you watch on TV can have a big affect on us as well and can easily suck us into binge watching. In moderation, consumption might be fine, but as long as your not compromising on other areas that are truly important for you.

USUALLY A JOB WILL TAKE MOST OF YOUR TIME; IT’S SO IMPORTANT TO BE MOVING IN THE DIRECTION YOU REALLY WANT WITH YOUR CAREER.

I MADE A LIST OF THINGS WHERE I CAN IMPROVE USING MY TIME. SPENDING MOST OF MY TIME THESE DAYS ON THE AREAS I TRULY WANT GROW IN, SUCH AS RELATIONSHIPS AND CAREER GOALS.

EACH DAY, I AM STUDYING NEW THINGS, WORKING ON MY WEBSITE, MARKETING, LISTENING TO INSPIRATIONAL AUDIO TAPES, and VISUALIZING WHERE I CAN PUT MY ENERGY NEXT. IN MY MEDITATION PRACTICE, VISUALIZING THE FUTURE, AND STEPPING INTO THAT FUTURE AS IF IT’S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

THESE BECAME DAILY HABITS AT THIS POINT.

AS SOME OF THE BEST PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT TEACHERS SAY

“YOU ARE HAPPY WHEN YOU ARE MAKING PROGRESS”

Visualization is definitely awesome, I recommend it, but I believe it’s half that + taking daily action towards that vision each day to the best of our ability. That FOR ME is a major key to my own continuing growth.

I CHOOSE AND CLAIM TO LIVE AN AMAZING LIFE THAT I AM PROUD OF, A LIFE BY DESIGN THAT I BUILT BASED ON PRINCIPLES.

By the way see how powerful the language above is..

BUT REALLY… HOW OFTEN DO WE SIT DOWN, TO REALLY GO OVER OUR DAY EACH DAY? WHERE CAN I IMPROVE TO MY LIFE, AND VISION FOR MY AMAZING FUTURE FORWARD? IMAGINE IF WE JUST REALLY SAT WITH OURSELVES AND TRULY ASKED… WHAT AM I HERE FOR? HOW CAN I MAKE THE MOST OUT OF MY TIME?

THE CREATIVE OUTLET OF MEDIA CREATION HAS BEEN A GOD SEND, A BLESSING OF SOME KIND FOR ME BECAUSE THIS IS AN AREA WHERE I CAN STEP INTO MY POWER, HAVE A VISION FOR WHERE I WANT TO GO, STICK AT IT EACH DAY, AND SEE LITTLE RESULTS AND WIN’S A LONG THE WAY THAT PUSH YOU FORWARD TO THAT BRIGHT FUTURE.

I BELIEVE IT’S OUR PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY TO FULLY TAP INTO THIS “TIME” AND GIVE OUR GIFTS TO LIFE. IN MY OPINION ALSO WHO KNOWS THAT COULD BE WHY WE ARE HERE..

YOU EVER HAVE THAT FEELING WHEN YOU ARE WORKING ON A PROJECT OR HOBBY YOU LOVE.. THAT FEELING OF POSITIVE EMOTIONS, BEAMING THROUGH YOU LIKE THE SUN BEAMS THE LIGHT INTO THE OCEAN ON THE BEACH. IT’S A CREATIVE SPARK IN ALL OF US, WHICH WE HAVE ACCESS TO. SO THAT’S WHY I AM HERE WORKING ON THESE POSTS. THE VALUE OUTWEIGH’S A LOT OF OTHER THINGS IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW.
