I’m a busy person. I always have
been.
I could tell you that after
having cancer I became all philosophical about life – it’s possibilities and un
quenchable desire to go out there and give it my all, that tends to follow such
life altering experiences. Yet I would be lying. Not completely, don’t get me
wrong. An experience like that rarely leaves one without and somewhat different
view of the world. Though it wasn’t the bottom kicking excuse I needed to have
a ‘Go get em’ attitude, it was merely just another reason.
I get asked a lot ‘How do I do it?’.
To be honest, I’m not entirely
sure what people mean sometimes when they ask it, because truthfully, I never
really feel like I have my shit together!
It goes to show that the
perceived you, the real you, and the ego are all very different, yet
unnervingly intertwined and evolving personas.
‘How do you find the time?’, I get
asked.
I’ll tell you a little secret…
come closer…. I’ll fill you in on something you may never have realised….
I have 24 hours in a day and 7
days in a week. The same as you. So maybe instead of asking me how do I find
the time… turn to yourself and ask yourself this…
‘am I worth the time?’
There is nothing grand to my
life, I have no magical spell to help you along the way, the difference, I suppose,
when I reflect on this question. Is that I make the time.
That may seem easier said than
done, but the thing is, you have to really want anything in life in order to
justify it to yourself to be worth your time.
I’m also not fearful to give
something a go. I mean, what’s the point? So maybe I’ll suck, but hey, maybe I wont!
I remember sitting in my car once
with my husband, talking about something I was going to try that week, honestly
I can’t for the life of me remember what it was, but he turned to me and said
very proudly.
‘that’s one thing I love the most
about you, you’ll try anything, you don’t give a fuck’.
And if I’m honest, that’s the
attitude you need to have. You can NOT afford to give your time to someone else
thoughts! YOUR life won’t wait for your ego to catch up! It’s now or it’s
never.
One of my oldest friends caught
up with me the other day after she went to a Tony Robbins seminar (google him
if you have never heard of him) – his words to her (to everyone) was;
“surround yourself with doers and
motivated people”
So she called me, and we caught
up and had a big ole chat about her life, her plans and my reason for just ‘getting
it done’. He is right, obviously. There
are people out there who will try to disenchant and disable your ability, to
undersell your abilities to you and cut you off as you grow. These are not ‘YOUR’
people. These are not conducive to a life that is ‘gettin it done’. So find
those people, make it happen, support other people who seek your love and
spirit. Don’t ever feel unworthy of someone’s warmth and spirit in return.
You are in complete control of
your choices. So make the choice, everyday, don’t look back and ‘get it done’.
I do, everyday.
