Two Variables for Changing Timelines

Today Jaxson stops me as I am headed to the restroom....

Jaxson: Mom can you make me dinner?

Me: No, I have to finish work and I have a dentist appointment. It's 330. Dinner will be after 5 when I get home.

He was laughing and yelling across the house this statement! He was very proud of this theory, and saw the benefits, if explained well enough, this could have!

Jaxson: Well... Einstein says time is irrelevant. And therefore, dinner can be now!

Me: It is true that time is what you choose to make of it. And that timelines can be changed. However, to change a timeline you have two variables to consider...

1. What actions are you willing to take to change the timeline?

2. Who can you partner with to help you speed up the timeline?

Example: If you feel hungry but are told it's not time to eat yet.

1. You can choose to make yourself something to eat. It may not be as good on your own, but it will stop you from being hungry.

2. You can partner with someone else to make you something to eat. And get more of what you want.

In this instance, I have obligations that prevent me from making you something to eat. Dad is asleep and sis is gone.

You have two choices.

1. You can make yourself something to eat.
2. Or you can decide to wait for the timeline of dinner to present at a slower pace.

• You do not have any other resources to assist you. As you do not have the money, or outside support to help you.

His level of commitment. Was to decide he was not defeated. He adjusted his attitude. And decided he'd wait for dinner. Hoping that I'd bring something home for dinner!

I share this here. As this is something many people should take into consideration. This can be applied in all aspects of life. Whether you are trying to deliver a product, complete a project, pursue a career, etc.

How fast the timeline can be sped up, depends on what YOU are willing to do. And the resources you have to speed things up with. Timelines go much slower on your own, if you have to wait for resources, and if you have to wait for others to do it for you.

Consider what you want your goal to be. Decide the level of commitment you are willing to put into it. Determine the resources you can pull in to accomplish your goals. Adjust your expectations and attitude accordingly.
