Recently,
two guests wanted to do a health program of two weeks. They made the choice to
only spend 10 days on it. They knew, it was even scientifically proven they
told me, the best effects could only be reached doing the program two weeks but
... they did not have time for it because of busy work and life.
The
sentence; "I do not have time." stayed in my mind the rest of the day
ongoing circling around in my head. What do you actually say?
I have no
time for it. I do not have time for it now.
I do not yet have time for it. In
fact it are all excuses you make in your mind not to do that what you actually
want to dot. And of course, it may also be true sometimes you come up with this
general apology because you actually do not want to do something at all.
That sentence shows something about your personal choices. My
father and mother often told me if I spoke the same sentence; "Then create
the time for it." Indeed, there is always time and it is all about where
you lay your priorities. Now they would probably complementary say: "If
you are a little bit less available on the Internet you will discover you have
plenty time for yourself left."
We periodically organize a program "Time is everything" here
in Thailand. A wonderful theme to discover. Time is not faster or slower than
before. We think we can or should do more with our time. We strive and compete in
life because we think it is necessary for the reason that everyone around us
does do the same. So we think it is normal and necessary.
Just for fun practice aimlessness for just five minutes, and you
will see how happy you are during those five minutes. Maybe you may experience
a sense of joy and room to breathe. Not crawl into the countless distractions
that you are even carrying on your girdle or in your pocket. Just do nothing.
Perhaps as well a sense of disquiet out of a form of anxiety to connect with yourself.
In aimlessness, you can explore that you do not lack anything, that you already
be what you want to become. So all your striving can come to an end. You may
experience a sense of joy and room to breathe.
If you have no time - or not have
time yet - to do things that are especially good for you, as working on your
holistic health, your long-term happiness, your ‘ME-time” (timeout to make up
your balance sheet and to recharge), breathing again, turn around and be proud
of yourself of what you already achieved in life, to determine what life for
you really is all about, your only goal in life called 'LIVING' (instead of running)...
then something is wrong with your priorities in life.
There is more than enough time, even now. It has everything to do
with making the right choices (for yourself and that’s not an egoistic thing).
In your life there is nothing else to do than to live and fulfil your mission.
To share your unique contribution and to make yourself and the world around
more happy. There is nothing to attain, nothing to realize, no program, no
agenda for life. You do not have to wait for the next signal, shock or wake-up
call from your outside world (or maybe even your inside world) to make facts
visible what life really is all about.
You want to gain time
for yourself right now? Just a fact. An exercise I regularly do about holistic time balance
with guests shows that people have time left during the span of a day. Every
time a strange discovery. They find out that this is due to time-consuming use
of social media and about twenty minutes per hour watching television which
marketing steals from them. Maybe a an option to switch off more often.
Stop your general apology and immediately
just now take the time for what
really matters to you. Do not plan it, as I said already there is no agenda or
program, make it your nature. Do not wait too long and certainly not till it
will be too late (even though you yourself will not realize that anymore). And
thing about that specific moment can be very soon. For sure that’s not a wish
but just a statement.
Take your time to LIVE life NOW. Do what you have to do in the understanding there is nothing to attain.
