I’m too busy. I don’t have time. Such common expressions. I try my best to never use these phrases. I read somewhere that instead of saying I don’t have time, you should replace it with it’s not a priority. The reason why I don’t exercise, or cook, or travel is because they are not priorities to me. That’s completely untrue. Of course those things are priorities for me. So I try to make time to enjoy those things. I am guilty of procrastination like anybody else, but I try to be as active as I can.
Even Beyoncé has only 24 hours in a day. This quote really speaks to me. If she can achieve what she can with the same amount of time as everyone else, then what excuses can we possibly make? It all comes down to use of time. Waking up too late, watching tv, scrolling through our smart phones. We all waste our time doing things that don’t benefit us and don’t aid us in any way.
This year I want to try to make good use of my time. I love watching films and tv shows but it can drain my time and energy. I want to use that time to cook food that will give me energy to go out and see places, meet people, and work out.
Again, I believe perspective is such an important thing. I think truly busy people don’t say they’re busy. They’re too busy being busy that they don’t have time to say they’re busy! They’re busy living their life. To be truly busy is really a great thing. It means you’re living your life and experiencing things. When I can say honestly that I’m busy, I’ll be happy.
