Why it looks like some people have more time
Everyone has 24 hours every day.?
This thing about time kept me awake through the night. I am still wondering what I spent my last 48 hours doing. I am writing to show you some things we waste our time on and how we could do much in a time. Are you ready??
I promise to be concise.?
Let me rephrase it. As some say, that time is money. Imagine 24 coins to spend in a day, just like anyone else. And at the end of the day, some returned with bags full of items, while some had little to nothing to show for their own. What factor could be responsible for the disparity??
Are you thinking what I am thinking already? That there are factors - that some people are at an advantage over others, maybe their upbringing or location. Is that your first thought??
It's called excuses!?
Take away the excuses and replace them with a touch light focused on yourself and how you spend every second and minute that passes away. Drop your excuses and start making your way to maximizing returns on your time.
There is an ancient tale about a running contest between a tortoise and a dog being in a racing contest. It's a popular one.?As the whistle went off, the dog took off in time, making it halfway before the tortoise could get started. Just as it reached the halfway point, it caught sight of a delicious meal. Instantly, it came screeching to a halt, its paws skidding against the surface as it came to a stop. The dog went after the bits and pieces of food and meats. While the dog was still eating, the tortoise passed by, perceived the delicious meal but kept going to the finish line. That was how the tortoise won the race. We often underestimate how much time is lost to distractions each day.?

I hope you enjoyed the story of how the tortoise won the contest. It is an old story with timeless lessons.?
Apart from maintaining focus and avoiding distractions, there is also a great outcome when our day is well-planned. It helps us to achieve more.?
The night is a time to rest but also a time to practice for the next day. We should dedicate at least an hour to practice, read and rehearse the next day's assignment, no matter how little they may appear.?
Again, you know that mindset is a powerful tool. If you start your day with a defeated mindset, the chance is that you will come back defeated. So set your mind on whatever you want to win and insist on nothing short of winning.?
I can not end this without mentioning the God factor in the success equation. You will have to acknowledge it and ask for help. Some results are too great for ordinary human hands and minds. That is not to say that God has fewer hands in little wins. Sometimes he appends his signature on some results so that even a blind person can see them.??
