Ownership is a funny thing. We all like to own things: a house, a car, an iPad2®, a legal nurse consulting business or simply a garden. Then we learn that there’s some responsibility that comes with that ownership. Stand up and look out the window. You probably don’t have to look far down your street to notice that some people are better homeowners than others.
There are some things we’ll probably never own (like that private jet I want) but one thing we all own equally is time. That’s right, we all get the same 24 hours every day and the only difference between us is how we regard our time and what we do with it. Time is one of our greatest possessions.
And just as I care about my home, I care about my time and, more importantly, care for my time. How about you? Maybe it’s time to step back and objectively observe yourself for a day or even a week. Are you a good steward of your time or do you squander it away?
For the record, I love to play as much as I love to work. I started a business to have a life, not to give up my life, and fortunately my New Orleans upbringing helps me to remember to do just that – to play on a regular basis.
Whether it’s work or play, it’s your time and what you do with it is your choice. I’m just sayin’…
Success Is Inside!
P.S.Comment and share the good and bad things you do with your time.
I was just thinking about this topic yesterday. Specifically that I do waste a lot of time. I put things off for another time then I don’t HAVE time for them later. Good news? I am recognizing this and I know I have to start new habits. 2012 is my year to get it in gear!
