Time as Opportunity
To be ON PURPOSE means to live your life forward to your original design
. Or maybe for most of us it means to go back to your original design. To become what you were meant to be!
The laws of purpose mean the following to me:
1.You cannot at any time pin purpose to a place and say that I have arrived, I am there. You are continuously busy to find the purpose in your life and it will become clearer as you move forward (advance) and go towards it. It will not come to you, you will have to go towards it!
2.It is not what you are doing, but how you are doing it that really matters.
3.Purpose is waiting for you you have to go towards your purpose. In other words it is already there just go and find it!
Be very careful how you live. Live as though you know what is expected of a purpose-driven life and not as a person that does not know what it is. Do not waste your clock' time. Make best use of every opportunity you get because we live in difficult and bad times.
Do not waste your life by living without a purpose.
So what is it that gets us to be so busy that we don't have any time left?
Life
- We need a number of new skills and it never ends
- We often have to generate additional business to make ends meet
- We have to diverse our financial portfolio
- We have to connect spiritually in many different ways
- We need to explore continuous alternative education opportunities necessary to go forward
Time
- We are busy seven days of the week, we are too busy
- We often work 8 to 16 hours per day
- Our kids have a lot of extramural activities every day
- We are on the road driving sometimes between 1 to 5 hours every day
Social Connections
- We do not have many friends anymore or spend time with our friends
- We do not have time or energy to spend with our families
- We often need to buy' a relationship with our kids
Availability
We have to be available 24/7. Cell phones do not provide you any privacy if you do not make a decision to sometimes switch them off
TV / internet is getting worse as we spend more time on both
We watch reality TV shows instead of living a real life
Everything has got to happen with speed. Things are happening too slow or we just do not have enough time for everything we would like to do.
You isolate yourself because you want to protect yourself and your time We are impatient and in a hurry and this often leads to frustration e.g. road rage
The question is: where is the locus of control in your life? Is it the stuff around you that control your life or is it what is on the inside that really counts? Things like your convictions, values, meaning and beliefs.
I guess we have become so busy that we have a blindness' for the opportunities that is all around us every day. That is the stuff we actually want to do more of and for this we need to open our eyes.
Four things we could try to live by and focus on more:
1.Insight into reality what is really happening to us and the most important people in our lives?
2.A quality life we need to create more balance and for this learn to say no'
3.Gratitude to live our lives with more thankfulness, joy and enthusiasm
4.Do the right things to focus on what really matters, to do less but do it as good as you possibly can, to make everyday and everything that you do in that day a success
