How Are You Spending Your Time Today?

What Are You Going To DoSome years ago my friend ordered a CD program called “Time Robbers.”   And he told me about the program at the beginning of this year.  As he shared with me how he monitors his time I remember thinking “he really needs to get a life” and “why would I want to take minutes, if not hours, from my busy schedule to investigate what was stealing my time.”  Little did I realize my thoughts were negative, and, more importantly, they were keeping me hostage to situations I wanted to be freed from.

Then as I began my recent journey focusing on positive thoughts, having a positive attitude and cultivating positive actions, it became clear that my shortsightedness was a negative emotion that kept me “behind the eight ball” by hindering me from capitalizing off the 86, 400 seconds we’re given each day.  Since I’ve started watching how I spend my time I have a full schedule with completing projects.  So, how are you spending your time today?

Now I see why reading was illegal for black people during slavery. I discover that I think in words. The more words I know, the more things I can think about….Reading was illegal because if you limit someone’s vocab, you limit their thoughts. They can’t even think of freedom because they don’t have the language to.                                         ~M. K. Asante
