What are you willing to NOT do in order to hit your goals?
That is a very interesting concept. This quote obviously comes from the last century (since Mr. Nightingale died in 1989) and it seems that there was never enough time in the day to do all that someone wished to do! Our ancestors struggled so much with creating more time (increasing efficiencies ... a day is still just 24 hours) that they created washing machines, dryers, computers, tractors, then bigger tractors, fast cars, then faster cars! They imagined a day when we would be able to do everything that we wanted to do without having to make sacrifices.
As it turns out, whether you lived in the early days of man or you are living in the next century ... you will always have to make choices when it comes to spending or investing your time. There will still only be 24 hours in a day! I use to think that you just had to do more of the right things to make your dreams and goals a reality. I now realize that you can't just do more ... you have to do less of some things, you have to cut things out of your life to either make room for the activities that will help you achieve your goal. Or you have to cut some activities out because they are pushing you in the opposite direction of your dreams!
So, what are you willing to give up for your dreams? What are you willing to NOT do anymore?
- NOT Watch TV
- NOT Play video games (not just for kids)
- NOT spend hours on the computer posting to Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Etc.
- NOT wake up as late as possible, without being late for your current career
- NOT spend every weekend with your buddies bar hopping
- NOT spend every weekend chasing red tag sales at the mall
Have a great day!
