Give Time a Purpose

The season of giving, getting and exchanging are finally behind us.  Now we look toward the new year and the thought of making resolutions. Angeline Jolie want to adopt the Vienna Boys Choir And President Bush wants to take the Karaoke machine back to Texas.But what about you, what do you resolve to do?  Will it be a new diet?  An attempt to live healthier?  Perhaps the goal to live inside a budget.  I know that I have tried all of these and more and these are all great resolutions, but what about making a resolution this year dealing with your time.  I don’t mean managing time more effectively.  I mean spending the time we are given in a more joyous way. Think about it, are you happy with how you spend your time? Do you make commitments that you don’t want to honor?  Do you waste time procrastinating or dreaming about what if?  Do you waste time waiting for the right time to happen? Everyday we are gifted with just 24 hours. It is up to us to decide how to use that time. Of course, we need to eat regularly. And we do require an appropriate number of hours of sleep, and then there are always the things that have to be done.  But is there something more purposeful you would like to include in your daily or weekend routine that you don’t feel you  have the time for?  Maybe this year is the year to rethink how you are spending your time? 

The first step is making that commitment to giving time to yourself. Right now, this very minute, take the time to determine what a perfect day looks and feels like.  Visualize the happiness you feel as you move through that perfect day.  Wouldn’t it be great to have a plethora of days like this.  Well, if you dream it, you can do it.  The key to taking care of yourself is knowing what you want and what you don’t want. Once you know what you want, you will realize that you can stop spending time on what you don’t want. Set out each morning to have a joyous day.  If you have a set back, that’s okay.  Try again next morning. Happiness is a life-affirming drug so make your happiness a priority. When you are happy the people around you will notice and become infected with the same feeling. They will want to be around you. Your attitude of happiness will rub off on others and will motivate you to want to continue to be happy. Think about it, unlike Mary Lou Song, this might just be the resolution that you will keep this year and one that will continue for many years to come. ‘; //leave this line
