Unlike The White Rabbit from Alice In Wonderland, who was afraid of losing his head, no such result threatens us, but suffice it to say that our entire lives revolve around the clock. Digital, windup, electric or electronic, we all live by the clock.
Unfortunately, some even die by the clock. For those of us who measure our success by how many hours we work and how far up the corporate ladder we climb all too often find ourselves caught in the never ending trap of constant stress.
It's no joke. Statistically, there are more heart attacks on Monday morning than any other time of the week. Sadly, we force ourselves into this trap. Stress kills. And the clock merely exacerbates the problem.
So what can we do?
If this sounds familiar you are not alone. Thousands of people just like us throw in the towel and give up on their dreams.
The truth is we should be looking into a mirror. When we do that and truly admit that we can't place blame anywhere else but our own shoulders, we can finally take the first toward success.
Here are three facts to consider:
- Where does your time go?
- No one can manufacture more time.
Only YOU can change your timeline.
Hmm, it's beginning to look like maybe we are masters of our own destiny. If there is anything to be learned here, you must take the first step.
Often that's just admitting that you are not in control and are willing to do something about it. Nothing happens until a decision is made. Your success or failure is determined by your commitment.
