Time is an eternal concept that has no beginning and no end. It continues forward uninhibited and uncontrolled, and there is no way to hold it back. No matter what we’re doing, it constantly advances and nothing we do can stop it. As children the days seem long and time is rarely a factor in the things we do. As we become adults we learn that our time has parameters we must work within and when we’re busy it seems to move more quickly. Because we have no control over the passage of time, we must learn to manage it effectively. There is no way to add another hour to our days because we are overextended. We have the same amount of time each day to accomplish the things important to us. If we get distracted, if we lose focus or forget our objective, we may find the day goes by and we haven’t accomplished what we wanted. We are always in control of our lives and every decision either takes us closer to or moves us further away from our goals. If we take control of our choices and are clear on our direction forward we will accomplish much. Everything is possible if we are aware and willing to do what is needed to accomplish it. We can manage our time carefully, think about the best plan going forward, and achieve any goal we set.
When we’re working on something important and we have a time limit there is added pressure to get things done. If the parameters are sufficient we may be successful, but sometimes the limits put on our endeavors are unrealistic or complications come up that prevent us from moving forward, and we don’t make the cutoff. If we can’t extend the time needed to complete a task and it’s impossible to get it done before time is up, we will fail. There is no way to see all the twists and turns of any journey from the beginning. Sometimes things go wrong, sometimes people get in the way, sometimes nothing works the way we think it will, and we fail. But failure to complete one task does not mean failure overall. We can begin again, make a new plan, and accomplish anything we desire.
Procrastination is a dangerous habit. It’s simply a decision to delay action over something or to put a task off until later. We can always change our plans and if necessary, wait to accomplish something while doing something else. But habitual procrastination can lead to carelessness or even laziness. If we get into a habit of always putting things off we will accomplish very little. There is rarely a perfect time to do anything, and if we want to get something done we can find a way to do it. We are in control of every move we make, every choice and decision, and we can be successful in accomplishing many things. Everything is available to us and we can move forward with confidence and purpose.
Today if you’re pressed against a time limit for a task you’re trying to complete, work as efficiently as possible and accomplish what you can. Manage your time effectively and plan accordingly. You have everything you need to be successful. Be wise and thoughtful, and go forward with confidence. There isn’t anything you can’t do. Everything is possible and you will reach the goal.
