What if your monthly calendar was completely BLANK and you could fill it in with ANY ACTIVITIES that you wanted to do. Most people have to automatically fill in 8am-5pm, Monday through Friday for their job. Plus commute time, it’s more like 7:30am – 5:30 pm on the short side. That’s 10 hours a day. 50 hours per week. About 200 hours per month. WOW…

Now imagine that that same paycheck was coming in and you DIDN’T HAVE TO GO TO YOUR JOB… I know, I know. That could ‘never’ happen. But just humor me for just a minute because you’ll like the point I’m trying to make. In fact, make it TWICE your regular income. And instead of driving to that same office or workplace everyday, you can do ANYTHING else.

Process that for one minute.

YOUR FULL TIME INCOME X 2 + 200 HOURS MORE PER MONTH TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT = ???

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU?

Would you be happier spending that time with people you love?

Would you be happier spending that time pursuing hobbies that may have been put on the ‘back-burner’ now that you’ve started your career?

Would you be happier traveling to the places you’ve always wanted to go to?

Keep thinking of these answers, and also answer me this question:

Could you find time to grow yourself to become a better YOU?

If you were reading only even ONE book per week about how to grow your own character, how to maintain a positive attitude, how to uplift and encourage other people, how to be a better mother/father/brother/sister/son/daughter, how to conquer your fears. Add to this list as you wish, but continuously think of what you would do. Think of who you would become. Get excited about your future and TAKE ACTION. Because even if you ARE working those 200 hours, you can fit in 30 mins a day to become that person. You may not even see a difference after one or two months, but after 6-12 months you will start to become the person you only dreamed you could be. Your journey starts the moment you want it to.
