Level Playing Fields

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. – Gandalf the Grey

It does not matter who you are, Bono or the busker on the subway there is something I guarantee we all have in common; 24hours per day, that’s it, not a nanosecond more. How is it then that the Bono’s of the world tour the globe, make amazing records while ending poverty and the buskers… well, busk!

What do you choose to do with your time? Exactly how much you get laid out end to end is unknown yet we carry on assuming we will see another sunrise. The key difference for the Bono’s is that they have figured out their priorities, how to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to action. This is not to say that they make work more important than play or family, a conscious super star knows the equal importance of all dimensions of a life. They understand that scheduling exclusive time out of their allotted 24hours to undertake a particular task is vital to success. Make time for your family and friends, make time for your work and make time for your dreams. Plan it in advance and plan it consciously. Then pursue your happiness with commitment and consistency. If everything is left until the last minute then one minute is all you have.
