What are you trading your time for?

Simplest ways geniuses become average:

1. Trading time for waiting for a text message response from someone who probably doesn’t care.

2. Trading your time for the use of devices, versus creating your own journey.

3. Trading your time for something that may be important for society however does not fit into your definition of awesomeness.

Wastage of resources is banned. How about wastage of time?

Do your own thing

Doing your own thing is the investment with minimal outgoing and maximum returns.

It saves you from the perils of being someone else.

The only competition is you.

The only person you need to exceed each day is you.

And that, is the victory what people willing to gain someone else’s approval won’t understand.

The need for attention

Go to your favourite influencer on Instagram and you’ll discover they reached here by ton of hard work and patience.

Even the teenagers with massive following have been doing “their thing” since their childhood, perhaps even as toddlers.

Time is a scarce resource, and people want to leverage it to get instant gratification; along with wasting it on the side.

Read the above line again.

And when you do realise the value of time and the value of building an (online or offline) asset, start dedicating the rest of your life to creating it.

Your intuition and your ability to create consistent value matter much more than the viral videos that are forgotten as easily as tiny amount of cheese is forgotten in a pizza.

About time wastage

There is a beautifully sad story about time wastage: it makes you believe you aren’t wasting it.

Here’s the way to avoid it in the first place: schedule.

Schedule your day.

Schedule even your leisure time.

Own your calendar.

Even if there are times when you want to sit randomly and “do nothing”, schedule that as well.

It will make you escape the torment of life wastage. An asset worth striving for.

Schedule is tight

My schedule is packed.

Don’t have time at all.

There is so much to do.

I don’t have the time to breathe even.

The words we impregnate our mind with, decide your destiny. If you don’t believe this, see happy human who accomplishes a ton of things and you will find they are busier than anyone else.

Perhaps a different equation could be: “I am tied up, lemme think how we I could do it.”

Or better yet, think over it and disagree to the task you don’t have time for, instead of consistently labelling yourself as time-less.

PS: Do you really want to be free and doing nothing always? If no, the best time to change your vocabulary was yesterday. The second best time is today.

Sit back and chill

Who here waits for the weekend to come and binge watch Netflix?

Who is waiting for money to come while you are visualising and doing nothing?

Who is getting jealous of their friends and waiting they fail?

Sit and talk with yourself.

Raise your energy levels, because someone with zero followers, if they copy an Influencer’s content, they are never going to get traction.

Traction and loyalty is earned. Earn it. Let people know who you are, one drop at a time.

It will happen when you mercilessly cut back time on what’s not important to you.

Time is going by. If you wait for the right time, maybe no tomorrow would occur.
