Time



Quotes by Bruce Lee
"If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of. "
“If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done"
“Don't fear failure. — Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. 
In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.” 
“To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.”

These are all amazing, aren't they?! I love all of them. From fear, we hesitate and procrastinate things all the time. Then time goes by. You keep wondering how things "could have been", "should have been" or "would have been. All it take for you is the one step. It's just the one step. That's all you need. Yes, the first step, that's actually the most difficult one to take. But that's exactly why it's the most important one. We're not suppose to be comfortable with where we are. We are always meant to grow more, try new things, and jump in to unknown. Because we are meant more than where we are now. You might not be where you want to be, but you are better than where you could have been. You could have been homeless or you could have been out of job, or you could have been seriously sick... there are so much possibilities. The situation changes all the time. Your circumstances change all the time. So does other people's. 

The only thing that's there for sure, that's time. You cannot deny that. No matter who you are or what you do, you still have 24 hours in one day. And you can do only so much in 24 hours. And if you are lucky, you'll be sleeping 8 hours out of those 24 hours.I don't like when they say, "oh, I want to do this, but I don't have time for that right now". I don't have time for that..... Sometimes it's true. You have to work. You have to take care of your children or your parents. You have to do this and that... And the list goes on and on. Everybody's got what they have to do that day. But, how about some people who just do it anyway?! Have you ever seen the movie "I don't know how she does it" with Sarah Jessica Parker?! There are some people like that. A super mom with crazy job and still have time to organize a book club for her friends. I don't know how she does it, but she does it.  A lot of people, especially here in NY, have 2 jobs just to make ends meet. But they make time to spend time with their family, with their friends, or with something they are passionate about. How much time do you spend a day using your smartphone when you don't have to?! Checking your email, Facebook status, Instgram, Twitter.... more than you need. Imagine how much more you can do, if you weren't on your phone..... In one TEDtalks, they talked about how much more you can learn in 5 years if you spend an hour a day learning whatever it is that you're interested in. You could be THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE person in that subject, in the world!! Amazing, isn't it?! 

I always believed in making time to do things. You just gonna have to make time for that. If you're interested in painting, make time to paint. If you are're interested in singing, make time to sing. The bottom line, if you put your mind to it, and you have the specific thing that you want to achieve and be persistent about it, you'd be surprise how much more you can accomplish. Don't cut your sleep though, because you DO need to sleep to be more productive and creative. It's just proven scientifically. Not 5 shots of espresso. 

Don't be afraid of doing what you want to do. For those waiting for the "Right timing" to start doing things, that's most likely not happening. We've talked about "I'll be happy WHEN", it's the same thing. I'll do this WHEN.... is not gonna happen. Rather than keep wondering how it could have been, would you rather know how it'll turn out?! People said failure is better than not trying. And when you try and fail, you'll learn how NOT to do it. So, there's always a lesson to that. There are more detours that we want. Sometimes things get in our way. Yes. But I just want to say to you, the moment that you recognize that the desire's there, that's the best time to do it. Those desires were placed into you for a purpose. I've detoured a lot more than I wanted to. But now that I think about it, I do believe that I took that path to meet someone, or to learn something, or to show something to other people. Stop with the hesitation and replace it with an action. Your "Right Timing" is now!

Love,
