Is life fair? Maybe you were born with natural talents others did not possess? Maybe you grew up without enough money? Maybe you struggled in school? Maybe you are a genius? Maybe, or maybe not? We were not born equal and life is not fair. But there is one thing we all have, no one has more or less. No one can steal it from you, you can't save it up or borrow against it. You guessed it. Time. We all have 24 hours a day. "Democracy at it's best."
We all have 24 hours to create health, money, pleasure, and to care for our immortal soul. With that said, there are many courses on how to create a budget, how to live on x dollars, but instead maybe we need to learn how to budget the 24 hours that will never change. An exercise from Todd Henry's "Die Empty" goes something like this. Imagine you will have a guest following you around for a full day, taking notes furiously, recording your schedule and actions from the moment you wake until the moment you go to sleep. Then this person compiles the notes, draws conclusions and this will stand as a record of your life. Would you act differently if you knew your actions and attitude were a permanent record? Many of us would get up a little earlier, eat healthier, take a little more time for family, pay attention to the task at hand and generally live the day with more purpose. "How does your imagined behavior compare with how you are actually living your life today?" With all the political correctness in our society today and people feeling as if they are either "giving" too much or are "not given" enough by our great country. Ask yourself, "How do you spend your precious 24 hours we are all given?" Oh, tip of the day, rule #6, "Don't take yourself to seriously." You may be wondering about rules #1-5.....they don't exist! "Feel the Rush"
