How to spend Your Time?

We really need to prioritise our time properly.

In this age of fast food, fast internet, fast everything (if that is even a word), we tend to make a very big mistake while we’re growing up.

You see, the world is filled with lot of informations out there, people having different opinions about everything, giving advice that works years ago but don’t work in this current age.

There are lot of distractions everywhere, the social media, Netflix, etc. But you see if we don’t set our life in order, most importantly when we’re young, we will have no one to blame but ourselves when we look back at the wrong choices we’ve made.

You must understand that time waits for no man, the older you grow the more you become occupied with responsibilities.

Most times it might not be work that occupied your time, but our minds have become too filled up with almost everything, thinking about past, future, and even death because of the informations out there.

We tend to see things as casual, like coming back from work and spending the rest of the evening watching Netflix, or scrolling through your social media feed when you know fully well there isn’t nothing to find there.

Let me tell you a short story that send this message well.

𝐼 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑎 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑚 , 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑎𝑡 𝑚𝑦 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑡 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑎 𝑚𝑎𝑛 𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑏𝑦 𝑚𝑦 𝑙𝑒𝑓𝑡. 𝐻𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑙𝑦 𝑠𝑐𝑟𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑝ℎ𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑚. 𝑆𝑜 𝐼 𝑡𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑛𝑜𝑡𝑒 𝑜𝑓 ℎ𝑖𝑚.

This is to show you how something which we see casual builds up habits that we might not even be aware of, and this in turn will drastically affect our life’s either in a positive or negative way.

See, we really need to prioritise our time properly, there is no two ways about this if you want to build wealth.

When I say wealth I don’t mean money alone, I’m also referring to your relationship with both God and Man, your freedom (choices), and Family.

Remember, in every 100 child given birth to, only 5% ever amount to something. I don’t know where I got that from but I know I once read that from a book.

And the question is, why is this so?

I mean, there are tons of quality information out there that if we spend even 10 minutes on everyday will be worth gold in years to come, but you see as I have said earlier when you don’t prioritise your time and life everything will seem okay, nothing will change! Instead you just keep going round and round in circles, hoping and wishing for a better life whereas you’re not even ready to take action.Do not take any of this as an advice, since I’m not a guru of any sort, nor do I have a psychology degree from Oxford University, instead take this as a good word of wisdom from a friend who wants the best from life and tells his younger self some good words he wish he was being told earlier on.

Mind you, I’m not an old man, nor am I one of those misfortuned fellow giving a regret kind of talk, a big no. So in the next few lines I will give you a layout of things I think we should focus on while we’re still young:

𝟭. 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗜𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵

I know many of you might be thinking I’m talking about a college degree, emphatic No! While some of you might have heard this a lot, well good for you.You see, most people after graduating from high school, or college, they feel this kind of relief, they tell themselves that now they don’t have to read any more since they are out of school, and now they can go about their day without worrying about not reading for an exam,But you see, the day you stop learning and investing in your personal growth, thinking that you had good grades in school, and that you’re very intelligent , is the day you start dying.

There is a very big misconception most people have. You see the traditional schooling system which we call education teaches us to act like robot on what to do and read in other to attain a score, but you see in life non of this things applies, school never told us so, they never taught us about money, managing people, personal relationship with God, personal finance, Entrepreneurship, etc. Which are one of the most important things we need in life. So this is one of the reasons why you need to invest in your personal growth! Read books! Sit down and read! Not your college book, but read a good book like millionaire fastlane, Robert Kiyosaki’s books, etc.

Learn from people who you want to be like, don’t settle for less, you can elevate yourself from your current position only once you decide to focus on building yourself instead of focusing on chasing money and looking for shortcuts to success, because there aren’t!Now I’m not talking about random reading of self help books, no. Most of them are crap. See learn a high income skill, that’s it! Build your intelligence muscle, invest in learning about Entrepreneurship, sales, business, because they will set you up for life.I repeat again, learn a high income skill! There are lot of them out there, just pick one you have interest in and start learning.

2.𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻!

I said it, your Spiritual life! And when I say your spiritual life I’m not talking about yoga, or meditating or reading and learning astral signs and all of those bullshit, a big no!I believe and this I say from experience that your relationship with God.

3.𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀.

There’s a saying that goes like this, “Your network is your networth”, nah, i made that up , but seriously if you take a good look at it you will find out that a man is built by the Relationships he keeps.When you meet a poor man, one of the things you will find is that all his friends are poor, both mentally and physically. And if you’re like me you can easily tell from there words, how they speak, and also from there habits.So keep worthy relationships that will build you and not pull you down.

4.P𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗢𝗳 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀.

This is the one I hate most because it comes in slowly into one’s life. All of a sudden you want to do a very little thing that will take you less than a minute, then you sigh and move it to the next day, or even to the next month.

I know we’re all guilty of this.See, you don’t get younger twice in life so if there be any thing you desire to do which is meaningful and Blissful, don’t wait saying when the right time comes because there isn’t a right time.Do the needful now, don’t be afraid of failures, make those mistakes and correct yourself along the way.

Time waits for no man, and worse it runs faster as you age.

Hope this little words blesses You.

By the way, hope you’re all having a beautiful life?
