⏺There are 86,400 seconds in a day. How are you spending yours?
Let me tell you something.. There will never be a perfect time in your life where it'll be the 'right time' to do something great. If you're waiting on that perfect moment, then I need to tell you something else.
This links a lot into my previous post on productivity.
If you're waiting for the perfect moment to come, then I'm sorry, but all you're doing is being naive. It's not going to happen. What you need to do is create the moment for yourself!
You know they say 'The harder you work, the luckier you get'? Well, what's actually happening is you are creating the 'lucky' opportunity for yourself. By doing what it takes, by proving yourself worthy, you are creating that opportunity.
See, people will try things for a while, and if things don't work-out the first time, they make this mistake.. They become comfortable again. They start to accept defeat, and justify it to be something that's not so bad.
When you are not pursuing your goal, you are committing spiritual suicide. You are giving up! Time just starts to pass by, and you realize later down the line how much further you could have been if you had just stuck things through.
There are 86,400 seconds in a day. How are you spending yours?
We like to tell ourselves that we don't have the time, but is this really true? Isn't the real fact that we have actually been blessed with time, but that we take it for granted?
You have 86,400 seconds in your day, and what you do with them today is what determines who you are. How you spend them is absolutely critical. I find these people funny when they complain about not having enough time. Yet, when you ask them how many hours they sleep, they say 8 hours.. Well, you can live on 6 hours quite easily. I do it.
Now, that extra 2 hours of 'beauty sleep' equates to 7200 seconds being wasted every single day. That's only if you sleep and extra 2 hours. How long do you sleep for each day?
You need to accept this.

great motivational on youtube you found there. Should have shared that, too
Hey brother! What motivational video are referring to sorry?
Awesome stuff. Thanks for that haha! I will add that to the post :)
Let me know what you think of my latest post, it's a bit quiet right now for some reason :)
time man, time the avenger! we waste so much of it don't we? i've already spent a bunch of seconds here typing this, by the time i've finished it might be a minute, we think we are infinite when it comes to time but we are not, your are right to alert people to getting the most out of a day, we must push forward in everything we do, fight back against our doubts and live out our true us. force everything to the fore! :)
Yes exactly! Very well said. We tend to look at the overall picture, and that's when it become fine to waste a couple hours.. But it's not. We need to spare the minutes and make the best of them.
Great comment man! Nice to see you here. Talk soon.
Another post of yours I enjoyed reading and it is exactly in the tone of your writing style that I find the most interest! You write with so much faith and conviction in what you have to say which makes me believe that your life is led by this practice of counting every second. I too, believe in much time being wasted in sleep and these days I am lucky to get six hours every night! It is very difficult for me to waste my time after having lost close family members through illness as well as through unexpected events. I count my life in minutes and hours and learned to prioritize what truly matters to me. It is difficult however, for me to simply do what I had intended to do without waiting for that perfect moment. Some things just take less priority as much as they are important to me like my intro for Steemit which has been written and rewritten about five times now and it is still sitting in my file saved and waiting to be finished.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! It makes me happy when the message comes across. I do have exactly that faith and conviction that you're talking about, that's why I want to share it with others to pick up.
May I ask why you are trying so hard with your intro? Why didn't you post it the first time and make 4 other posts already? See what I mean..
You are right! I could have written five posts instead of none but I just didn't think it was interesting enough nor unique enough. Now, I put it off cause I have too many deadlines with my courses to catch up on this week. But I will get to it eventually and it will be a piece I will be happy to post.
If it was me, I would've just posted it haha! Awesome stuff though, good luck with your course :) Do your best.
I've spent the majority of my week outdoors, I had a fairly similar epiphany about the time we have...and especially the time we waste. I definitely agree with the amount of time we sleep, I do as little of that as I need to keep my physical body energized ;)
You're doing an amazing job my friend, if you don't hear from me as much lately it's only because I'm not around wi-fi. Love this, resteeming :)
That's great, hope you made the best of your time there :) Took a lot of photo's?
Thank you very much for your kind words @Dreemit. It's really something as simple as a compliment that can drive you to whole new levels. Sometimes the constant work, and even now I'm only get less that 30 views per post :D it's a little frustrating, but a compliment here and there makes the world of a difference!
Enjoy the rest of your trip. Talk soon.
I daily make my time table and make up my mind that I will strictly stick to it but I fail to achieve it fully. Another day comes, same thing happens. But I am sure one day I will make it happen.
I understand exactly what you mean. That was me up until about 3 days ago. Now I just think less, and do more. Simple.
Decide early in the morning what it is you want to do, and then focus 100% on that task until you have gotten significant results.. Just full-out grind on it! You should see results then :)
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your opinion. I am making new posts every 12 or so hours. You can see my latest one here
I'm spending 43,200 seconds a day on Steemit!
Only 12 hours? :P
Yeah Steemit is super addictive lol! Thanks for stopping by. Talk soon.
Good one. No perfect timing. Everyday is a gift from God. We must make good of it. Only a lazy man postpones. The hardworking looks into tomorrow from today.
Yes! And that's not to insult anyone who's lazy, as I was lazy too, but it's not about the person you begin with, it's the person you end up being that people will remember you for.
Talk soon.
I don't even take that extra time sleeping. I spend a lot of the time on steem reading to what people are talking about
Great stuff. I hope all that reading is serving you by benefitting you in some other way. Otherwise it's just as good as sleeping. If you get what I'm saying?
Good to see you again bro.
Your post me resembles a very popular saying in my country: " whom it forestalls God helps him! Certain what you say! I invite you to happen for my post probably be of your pleasure! Place the texts in Spanish and Englishman!
That's true! Life doesn't reward you for what you want, but rather for what you deserve. What you've worked for. Talk again soon.
i'm sending you a dm on Instagram soon, maybe rn, idk
Cool brother, no worries, when I log back on, I'll be sure to respond :)
Thanks for stopping by. Talk soon!
