A Personal Article About Time by Donna Maher RN:

Whatever you choose to do with your time, please don’t waste it! Time is something that we all measure in various manners, and when we are young, we live on the premise that we have tons of time to use as we please.

As we grow older, however, that all begins to change.

If you are really young, and reading this, you will likely not understand, but I hope you will take my word for it, and begin *right now* with goal-setting, building your dreams, and self-actualization by using affirmations and eliminating ALL negativity – whether it’s thoughts or people who drag you down.

I once heard that the concept of time was easy to measure thusly: “When you are only two years old, a year is fully one half of your entire life!”

So, I began to ponder this, and realized that now, a year is only a tiny fraction of my life, and therefore time seems to go infinitely faster as you age (or at least it feels that way). That’s why the days just whiz by and we sometimes wonder what in the world we have really accomplished.

So start now, right now, whatever age you are and begin setting goals. I wrote a long article for my ezine InspiraSeed® about that very subject… Goal-setting. However, I will confess, that although it is a very good article, on a personal response level, I was just too lazy back then to actually set that vitally important process in motion.

However, I do realize the importance of it now, and also know it’s never too late until you take your last breath, to change your life for the better. I failed myself back then… and I thought that it didn’t hurt anyone else but me… but I was dead-wrong, it does hurt others, too! (But that’s some ‘fodder’ for yet another article, entirely!)

Are you failing yourself, too?

Where do you think that left me? (And where does it leave *you* if you are doing the exact same thing?) It left me in the rut I had been in for a good portion of my life, in that ‘comfortable’ place that’s so much easier than change, even if it is the more unpleasant alternative than actually changing one’s life.

It’s ‘familiar hell’, as I used to say. It was simply ‘the easy way out’ of making any tough decisions. Sound remotely close to your own life?

So, who’s in control here? It is definitely not the master of your own mind and body, for sure, but instead, you are allowing circumstances… outside influences… ‘things’ … other people … spouse … children … the job …. or whatever to control you.

This is what is called ‘outer-dependence’ and it won’t get you very far in life.

Visit my life-saving friend Robert Burney at Joy2MeU.com – he can help with this particular type of dilemma. There are many free articles to help you there, and some very valuable tips for happier living & better relationships.

Not a nice picture, this “staying in the rut thing” – but I also know I am not alone in this one! Who is really responsible for the changing of your circumstances? You are!

Sadly, you cannot rely on your partner, your parents, your children, your boss, or your best friend to do this for you. Now, the questions start popping into your mind… “How do I start?” “Where do I start?” “What do I do first?” “Where do I go?” and on and on.

(Also see the article on: Vibration & Attraction in the inspiration section)

That’s what stops most of us right off the bat. Not having a plan. Not feeling in control. Being a little bit scared to get started… So, we just nestle back down in our comfy little ruts because it’s just easier, and more than that, it’s familiar, so we don’t have to “do” anything because we already know how to cope inside there.

So, what are you going to do now?

Will you stay in your cozy rut a bit longer, or peek out, even a little, and see what the world has to offer you? There is massive abundance, happiness and joy that is truly available to each and every one of us, using our own minds to power its creation, if we simply know how to find it.

So… what are you waiting for? (Silly me, I waited 56 of my 61 years before really getting started in earnest!) Are *you* going to wait that long, too? I truly hope and pray that you don’t!
