..time is certainly flying

..i just realized one thing, and i know you will shake your head and say "you just noticed that now!", but my God time flies, not only when you are having fun, but also when you are just hanging out, i mean did you notice that today is 13th of Sept. and right around the corner we have christmas / new years waiting .. - not to mention in a short time from now i will add another candle in my birthday cake - how depressive is that.. - well to be honest i dont find it half as depressive as i use to, i mean after all 40 is the new 20 so i still have a couple of years to go, before it hit that. But seriously speaking, age has nothing to do with anything, (almost anything obviously there are a couple of exceptions where age is very important ... - you do the math) but in general it is not about how much time you have, but really what you do with the time you are given. I always get upset when i hear people talking about their time management (keep in mind i use to coach on this topic..) "Martin, i cant see manage my time.." or "i dont have time available.." both statements we all know are totally wrong, and here is why, you dont, never will, never going to, never can manage time - time is given, 24 hrs a day, 60 min in an hour, 60 seconds in a minute - what can you do about that ? you can only choose to manage yourself, decide what to spend time on, versus not spend time on, and then you will see the difference.. - there is no secrete behind getting more done than others, it is about how you organize yourself, successful people tend to be much better organized than others - but there is really no secrete.

So for me it is not all about business or success, i simple want to be organized so i have time to enjoy more around me, may that be weather, nature, friends, conversations or whatever .. i want to ensure that i get the most out of work and time spend at work so i want to smile and have fun, because before you know it, it will all be over ..

So friends, treasure your time, spend it well, and enjoy ever second you have - dont throw it away on silly stuff that doesnt add any value to your life .. - do what you want to do ..

till our next time, time is ticking ..
