I HAVE NO TIME

 

“I HAVE NO TIME”

 

 

The most wonderful phrase, “I HAVE NO TIME’, heard and said, many times a day, by oneself, friends, and relatives so on, just signifying that one has no time to do what is suggested, advised or asked: this is true even of the advice given by a doctor to a patient particularly to do some exercises, yoga or asanas. What a solid argument not to do. Is it really so. No not at all. It is in fact, a lame excuse. When someone says “he has no time”, it is end of the conversation, no interest in subject or the person, simply to carry on one’s own agenda. It is a false phrase. These utterings give one the satisfaction of having disposed of the other so easily, quickly and cleverly without committing anything: but fact is they are false, negative, untrue, full of ego, lack sincerity and reflect on one’s character in adverse light. Such an approach is source of stress and dis-satisfaction. It is your intentions, determination and commitment that matters and not the time: this is the reason only a few people miss their bus, train and plane. Time has to be found by time management, using your time purposefully, squeezing unnecessary engagements, using technology to the maximum, understanding the difference between important and urgent, following the principles of self-imposed discipline and self-denial. Saying “NO” effectively and lengthening your time of 24 hours to 26 hours or twenty seven hours a day by getting early from the bed and going late to bed which is always possible humanly, are the other two effective means to avoid saying “I have no time”. Performing always gives one the satisfaction of “having done it” and more so when it is for others and still more if it is without expectation of return. Action is essence of life, life of life, its own reward that too rich enough, so drop the phrase “I have no time”, from your personality.

 

“You will never find time for anything.

If you want time, you must make it.”

Charles Bixton

Tolerance a Character Gem

                                            Tolerance a Character Gem   Without tolerance, our world turns into hell. Friedrich Durrenmatt   Men are respectable only as they respect.
