Once again, I am off to a good start. Even though I did sleep in a few minutes longer, I am still up and at it. Well, I guess today I will make my confession. I haven't been excercising and meditating like I should. I have gotten off track due to the high demand on websites in the past month. I have to gain some type of balance so that I can get back on track. Most of my time has been going to either working on websites or working on my novel. There have been times when I could have worked out but I chose not to because I needed to rest. As I am sitting here typing,I am thinking to myself that there is no excuse for NOT working out or meditating. Truth be told, if I really and truly wanted to get these things done, I would have. Time wasn't a factor because I could have just gotten up earlier to get it done.
I must admit that my schedule is tight. But I know that I can still get it done. And if I can get this done, so can you. Most people talk about finding balance within there lives to get things done. Well, I kind of beleive in finding a balance and then again I kind of don't. There are some things in life that you can balance and then there are some things you can't. This depends on the situation. If you have a lot going on within your life and your family needs you more now than they did before, you are going to give them more of your time and that doesn't balance within the eyes of society, but it does balance in the eyes of those who believe in a higher power (for me God). There is no balance when it comes to us and God. The scale is always either deeply up or deeply down. Every now and then it may balance out but for the most part, it's unbalanced.
You just have to do things and keep trucking. Stop trying to balance your time and make sure that you are putting in enough time with that project or with that person. You have to do what you have to do to get things done and that way, you don't have to worry about balance because if your are getting it done, it's balanced. Instead of worrying about balance, utilize your time wisely. I get up two hours early every morning to post to my blog and work on my book and websites. Some times when I get off work, I will work on my projects, but for the most part I don't. I am at home chilling with my wife. She has my attention when I get home. She has never said to me that I was spending too much time working on any of my projects because I utilize every minute I have. Now do I spend as much time on my projects as I do with my wife, no. That doesn't balance. Some people might read this and think, "hey that's balancing your time." But I think it's a little different.
Utilize your time and stop thinking about making it balance. This will allow you to have more time than you think you have. Trust me I know. I have been married for over a year now and I have completed numerous websites and written numerous poems and hunderds of pages for my novels and not once has my wife complained about me spending too much time on any of this. You might think it's good balance and if you do, that's all good. I just want you to make use of all of your time because it's so precious to those that really enjoy being with you.
