Been CHASING TIME?

 

Been CHASING TIME?  Imagine WHAT it might feel like if you could walk alongside TIME, rather than chasing it?  Thing is, we DON'T have that control over the stuff that's happening and gobbling up TIME itself.  So, HOW often have you felt like time is running away from us much faster than we can keep up with it?  Everyday, that's the same story, at work, at home, practically everywhere.  The huge downside here is that focusing on WHAT CAN'T be done can lead to unknowingly stopping yourself from experiencing anything different.  YES, you can feel frustrated and exhausted to permit your own self to see those facts, NO matter WHAT realities really are📗📙📘

Instead, WHAT we can control is HOW we feel, HOW we think and choosing WHAT option feels best to you at the moment.  Though choosing change may feel hard, it can lead to that something better you DIDN'T believe you had time for.  So, instead of trying to change WHAT happens, you can change your reactions from frustration and anxiety to resilience.  Imagine for a moment WHAT it might feel like you could have 100% control over HOW you experience your day.  WHAT does your list look right now?  WHICH things might be able to wait?  Consider noticing HOW it may feel WHEN you choose HOW to react WHEN 'stuff happens'❎❎❎

Without sounding a 'kill joy', the BAD NEWS is that TIME FLIES BUT here's the GOOD NEWS though.  You're the pilot, so you can heavily influence in charting and plotting the flight path you want to pursue.  Stating the obvious, every day has plenty of time for WHAT's imperative because you get to choose WHAT's important and HOW you choose to see it.  SO HOW?  We are advised to START SMALL, period.  Pick one small thing you can add to the top of your daily list that is strictly for "ME" time to help you cruise through your day and enjoy it.  WHAT we should NEVER forget is that YOU GET TO CHOOSE!!!

A place that seems more like LIMBO than a Lion's Den are those NETWORKING narratives WHERE we connect with people via NETWORKING.  LIKE getting into a roomful of folks [and strangers] as you're looking for potential clients OR opportunities.  BUT does that room have that buzz of excitement?  OR is it full of people WHO can't wait to leave?  Trust your gut, and if it was worth your time, go back and try it again.  BUT WHAT matters here most is our need to challenge ourselves no less.  True, making connections in person is damn hard BUT you only have one chance to make that first impression, right?  WHY NOT start off with "HOW'S YOUR DAY BEEN?" and build a conversation from there😊😊😊

Our takeaway:  IF you're an enterprising sales guy gifted with that rare glib, DON'T try to make a sale during that handshake.  And IF you've heard about that "ELEVATOR TALK", that fraction of a minute is NOT the best time to if you're finding for a breakthrough opportunity.  In these days of social media's 'SUPREMACY' over us, STOP CHASING TIME via social media.  True, you can run a persistent campaign via SMS, via public posts BUT you got to ask yourself:  AM I TAKING THE BEST APPROACH?  WHAT we want to avert is you ending up CHASING TIME and in the end, WASTING TIME in the process.  If there's chaos in your TIME MANAGEMENT, try to restore order dude!!!
