What's More Valuable Than Money?

"You possess as much of this precious commodity as the richest person in the world and yet you may not realize how wealthy you are."

Yes, time is the one thing we all possess in equal measure. You and I both have 24 hours a day, just like every other living person. We will never have any more time in a given day than anyone else.

Q: What's the one thing you CANNOT do with your time that you can do with money?

A: Save it for future use!

The constant question: Is what I’m doing now the best use of my time in living and creating the lifestyle I want for myself and those closest to me?

Precious moments of time can be found by taking a time inventory for a day. Are you using your drive/exercise time effectively by listening to education material? Can you get reading, or other work, done while sitting in those long, boring meetings?

Many of the greatest accomplishments of humanity have occurred through the use of the precious moments of time that are overlooked by most people. Make sure you're using even the "few minutes" you have here and there each day.

You see, TIME really is much more valuable than money. Make sure you spend your time wisely!

Stop Being a Procrastinator...Now!

"Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy."

Which thought do you tend to have: "Never put off till tomorrow, that which you can do today" or "Never do today, what you can put off till tomorrow"?

If you have a better life, it's because you did something to make it better. Just wishing and hoping never accomplishes anything.

It's more important to do what you say than to say what you will do. To be effective you must learn to manage yourself and the time you have been given.

By getting things done, you develop a great sense of accomplishment and want to get even more done. Here are some techniques to eliminating procrastination from your life:

• Live 5 minutes at a time. What will you accomplish in the next 5 minutes?

• Schedule a specific time to work on a designated task you've been putting off. 15 minutes of work on a specific task usually gives you the momentum you need to accomplish it.

• Take one thing you need to get done and break it down into 3 steps; take the first step now.

• Ask yourself if you are doing what you would be doing if you only had 6 months to live.

• Eliminate words like "hope," "wish," and "maybe" from your vocabulary. Substitute new words of action like "will," "ensure," and "make" instead.

Live by these words, DO IT NOW! Remember these 3 powerful words from a previous lesson?
