Finding time

We are all busy. And we all have only 24 hours a day. And within that 24 hours, there is so much to accomplish.

We have work to do. We need to eat meals. There are the sanitary needs that takes time too. And everyone needs rest, in fact, quite a lot of it. After all, each of us spends 6 to 8 hours (maybe less, maybe more) sleeping each day. And then you want to spend time with your loved ones, with your friends. Couple that with time for yourself, either pursuing your own hobbies, or just sitting there not thinking of anything, and we see that 24 hours a day seems too little.

But if it is important to you, you need to find time for it. If you believe in doing something, don't leave it hanging, find the time to do it. With only 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the key is to prioritise. What is important to you? Allocate time for that.

We are sometimes amazed at how a person can do well in his career, have a happy family and yet find time to pursue his hobbies. The answer? These are the things important to him, and thus he makes the effort to find time for them.

So work out your priorities, make the effort to find time, and you will find that 24 hours can be spent in meaningful ways.
