Tick Tock, Tick Tock.
Time flows like a river. It’s an unstoppable freight train. Not much we can do about that.
And for many time seems like their biggest enemy.
For busy folks, there aren’t enough hours in the day. And for people stuck in a rut, life slowly slips away with the passage of time.
But what if it didn’t have to be that way?
What if time could be our friend and ally?
After all, no amount of money or wishing can fight the passage of time… it’s inevitable.
So why not make it your friend?
With a few small tweaks, you can transform the passage of time into an asset rather than a liability.
Did you know that if you improve just 1% each day, at the end of a year you’d be 37 times better.
Which leads to a simple fact of life:
The more bad habits you have, the more time is your enemy. The more good habits you have, the more time becomes your friend.
So here’s a simple tip that may seem obvious, but most people don’t do it…
Attach a good, consistent habit or two to your days. Once you do, the passage of time guarantees progress.
And with your progress tied to that unstoppable freight train, you become unstoppable right along with it.
Once you have that realization, the passage of time becomes exciting.
A few examples:
– Practice guitar 10 minutes per day, and you’ll see amazing progress month after month, year after year.
– Work out for 20 minutes every day, and each day brings more fitness.
– Read for 30 minutes per day, and your knowledge continually expands.
– Spend 10 minutes per day on your career (whether it’s creating a portfolio of work or improving your skills) and you’ll be way ahead of the game in no time.
You get the point.
Each day can bring progress or stagnation.
Choose wisely.
The key is consistency. If you start skipping days here and there, time starts to work against you again.
Remember, we all get the same 24 hours. It doesn’t take much to make sure each day is a step forward. And those steps add up to a mountain of progress before you know it.
So take the time today to decide on one or two simple things you can do every day and hitch a ride on that freight train.
