Good Things Still Take Time 25/05/2010
![]() How often do we want to see results straight away? I've learnt something while putting this website together. Good things take time. Truthfully, it's a lesson I've learnt one hundred times over at least, yet here I was learning it again! If good things take time then the question needs to be asked, 'When do we find the time to create all the good stuff?' I've tried finding time before but it always runs away from me. And fast! I'm lucky. I have some successful, highly motivated friends who are much wiser than myself. According to their wisdom there's a big difference between finding time and making time. It's the 'making' of time that we should be focussing on. So how do we make time? How does an artistic, spontaneous, highly distracted and slightly disorganised person effectively create more hours in the day? In theory it's easy. Simply make appointments with yourself. Value your dreams and ambitions enough to mark them in the diary, or the iPhone and you're away. Actually, in practise it's a little more difficult. And guess what it takes to develop a habit? You guessed it, time. Six to twelve weeks in fact. Once again, good things take time. Ouch! So start valuing your 'me' time. Make appointments with yourself. Learn to say 'no' to distractions and 'yes' to your dreams. In fact there will be times when you need to say 'no' to good things too. They're not wrong, it might be the timing is wrong. So knowing what to say no to is as important as saying 'no'. And go easy on yourself, remember it takes 'time' to develop your new habit. Good luck and keep writing!

It's looking good. :) Leave a Reply |
