When I entered high-school, a common phrase I heard was, “I don’t have enough time.” That bothered me so much. I couldn’t understand why there was never enough time in the world for me or anyone else to do everything we wanted and thought we needed to do.
Upon further contemplation, I arrived on this idea: I believe my God gave me a specific amount of minutes in a day and days in a week for a reason. It worked for Him, right? So, maybe it’s not so much the AMOUNT of time I have, but rather, the WAY I SPEND my time that matters. That’s probably not a new perspective to you, but honestly, it was a revelation to me when I finally started applying it. If my days are explicitly designed the way they are, then it’s up to me to steward the time I have!
Maybe PRIORITIES should have been the title of this post. What I prioritize in my life is often shown through what I do with my day. The activities I’m involved in, the friends I have, and the shows I watch are good indicators of what I value. So, maybe my priorities are the thing that needs to change, not my wishes coming true that the government would add a couple of days to the week?
I have the power to choose what I participate in and what will take up space in my life.
No excuses today (I’m not making time for those).
