Utilize your time wisely

Are you spending your time wisely?

You can either spend your time badly, or invest it wisely. You spend your time wisely when you are doing things that will deliver your dreams, and desires. One way to measure whether your time is being used wisely is to follow these three steps:

[1] Establish what yearly income you need to finance your million dollar desires.

[2] Using the yearly income you determined above, work out the hourly rate you will have to receive to meet that annual income. An easy method is to divide the amount by 50, representing 50 working weeks, and then by 40 representing a 40-hour week. For example, if your income yearly target is $100,000, then your hourly rate is $100,000 divided 50, and then by 40 that gives your hourly rate as $50.

[3] Whenever you are involved in an activity that is valued less than your imputed hourly rate above, consider whether you should discontinue doing it. Examples of time wasters are: long personal telephone calls, errands, long lunches, reading every word in the newspapers or the same stories in different newspapers.

Success thinkers value their time. They insist on doing, at any given moment, their most productive activity. A thought you can ponder!

From Hope to Action

Beyond hope

Hope is a necessary element in your success equation. Hope is the longing and wishing for something you do not have, but believe that having it will enhance your life. In fact, being alive always triggers the possibility to hope.

Anyway, be careful that you do not use the concept of hope as a conditioned belief that there is nothing that you can do, but sit back and hope for the best. This conditioned belief puts you in a powerless pattern, and stifles the vibrant action that you could otherwise take.

Hope is important as it raises your expectations of achievement, and what you expect you get. However, hope on its own is not enough. You have to go beyond hope to ACTION. Faith without works is dead. Hope without action is fantasy.

You can live in hope, and just wish, and wait for things to happen. Alternatively, you can go beyond the waiting game, and design strategies, and plans that will help you to realizing your hope.

Review what is the most important thing you are HOPING for in your life. Consider whether you are taking serious relevant action to bring your highest priority HOPE to fruition.

If you are not developing serious action plans, then start to develop, and activate those plans. If you are already taking action on your cherished hope, double the effort, and be consistent in its pursuit. You will then gloriously enter your Door of Hope.
