I know you're busy. Everyone is. It's hard to find the time to do everything. In fact, you've probably found that you can't do everything. You have a long list of, "If I had the time I would... " If I told you that you could change your life entirely in just 30 minutes a day, would you be able to find the time? Just 30 minutes a day.
I ran into a friend at the gym this morning. In my opinion, he's sitting on a pot of gold. Sitting. Not getting up to cash it in. Just sitting. Don't get me wrong, he's far from lazy. He's a very busy man, making a lot of things happen. But he has this book idea that I believe is absolute gold. It needs to be written. It will impact a lot of people. However, each time I see him and ask about the book, he always has a good reason for why he hasn't started to write it yet. All good reasons. All excuses. So today I asked him if he spent just 30 minutes a day on it, what would happen. I can tell you what would happen, that book would get written. I don't know when, but I know it would, because time would be devoted to making it happen. Change, progress, achievement, all happen when you focus your efforts intentionally.
30 Minutes for 30 Days
I challenge you to take 30 minutes for 30 days and do something, anything, that will advance you towards a goal that you really want. When I first started exercising, 30 minutes was my goal. The information that I had at the time was that 30 minutes for 5 days was all I needed to be "fit." I thought, "Well, I can do that," so I began. My first step toward fitness was 30 minutes of "ish" effort. I didn't know what I was doing. I had some running shoes. I had seen people moving in a forward motion with running shoes on. I thought I'd try that. It wasn't natural, it wasn't pleasant, but it was doable and so I did. My husband was amazed at my pace. How was I still in an upright position going so slow? I kept at it and have completed several distance races over the years. It changed my life, not just my fitness level. It began with 30 minutes a day.
What is one thing, just one, you could do for 30 minutes a day? You don't have to write a book or run a marathon. Maybe you just need to organize your desk at the end of the work day, or spend 30 minutes building a relationship. What is one area of your life that would give you a multiplied return on your investment if you just spent 30 minutes a day on it?
30 Minutes for 30 Days
What will you do? Will you continue to be a victim of time, or make the time? Your choice will impact your life, one way or another.
