"I don't have the time!"
This is the debut of a brand new series, MYTH WARRIORS!™ How exciting! In the MYTH WARRIORS™ series we are targeting ideas to begin to assess whether they are credible or not. We are warriors fighting to establish clarity between what is accurate and what is simply a myth (or falsehood) in life. We are deploying our highest level critical thinking skills in this series to fight to ensure that we are not taken advantage of or exploited by information disparities. We don both defensive protective gear and offensive weaponry to thrust forward, testing and examining content to discern if it should be defeated and discarded (as a lie) or retained and utilized in our lives in our mission to surpass our goals.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” - Nelson Mandela
This is not a series for the weak minded or fearful as we will leave no stone unturned in our quest to ensure that we are not exploited, not ignored and used as pawns by powerful people. Our education (formal and informal) is our most powerful weapon to equalize our opportunities for success (on our own terms).
In The Art of War, Sun Tzu wrote that "It’s more important to outthink your enemy than outfight him."
In this series we are sharpening our skills of inquiry and we are harnessing our resources to do everything in our power to outthink our enemy (which is ignorance, exploitation, etc., used by other people to take advantage of us).
Quote from Alice Walker: “The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.”
Our minds are nimble, we are eager to learn and we understand that we do have power. The power to think, analyze, strategize and execute our plans!
This specific episode will address the retort that people don't "have the time" to surpass their goals. This is another narrative that I have heard countless times when trying to work with a client to draft a plan for them to reach and surpass their goals. I have heard people from 18 to 80 years old lament that there is just "no time" and there is nothing they can do about that.
I see this issue differently. I do not know how much time I have left in this life so I put my effort into getting as much done as I possibly can while I am here. I do struggle with stopping to enjoy myself at times versus moving on to the next issue. This life is like an amusement park and I have a ticket for entry. I want to see as much as I can (ride as many rides as I can before closing).
Let's discuss whether it is a myth that we don't have the time (or if it is that we don't have the will instead?)!
