Finding Time
Time isnât lost, and since itâs not misplaced, âfindingâ it doesnât make much sense. Yet, we hear all the time about people trying to âfind timeâ to accomplish something.
Itâs as if we like to pretend that the only problem is the time itself doesnât exist, and we have to somehow stumble upon it in order to then, finally, get to the activity in question.
Personally, I think that this is a bullshit excuse.
Whenever anyone tells me that they have to âfind the timeâ to do something, I know that theyâll never do it because they donât want to do it. Plain and simple. When you want to do something, you do it. Itâs action-based, not time-based.
You donât need to accept the lies people tell you about why they wonât do something. They have their own priorities, and thatâs fine. In business, or life, never wait on anyone to find time.
You canât control the priorities of other people, but you can control your expectations of the people around you. Understanding this simple truth has helped me to alleviate a lot of unnecessary stress and negative emotions.
