I wish I had more time!!
Besides "I wish I had more money", "I wish I had more time" is one of the most common desires I hear.
But I see this wish to be surface. There's actually another need beneath it.
I see this as a desire for change in a person's life. There is something that a person wants that they currently see as impossible to achieve, and the reason they give is a lack of time.
Consider this--a person's current way of life is only one out of an infinite number of possibilities. And it comes with its own advantages and disadvantages...
Perhaps all that is needed is a subtle shift into a different way of life to get everything that a person wants... Where there are no disadvantages and only advantages.
Further consider that between the current life and the new life there are things that need to be handled, things that need to be put in place.
My invitation to you is to define what that desired life is and then look at what things need to be changed, removed or added to get to that new life.
For you brilliant thinkers: I caution you against thinking about the how's at first... Just focus on what you want and the how's will sort themselves out.
For example, if you want more hours in a day there are a number of solutions. Why not automate some stuff? Or hire assistants? Or work more effectively -- kill two or three birds with one stone.
There are often two, three or more ways to achieve an outcome. The speed at which a person gets their results depends on how clear a person is about the outcome they want and their openness to the ways of achieving the outcome.
Now it's your turn--imagine you have all the time that you need--what is it that you would create? What do you need to add, remove or change to get from here to there?
When you think about this, where do you stall? Comment below and I'll answer in a future post!
