Sometimes, you get so caught up trying to do things that you think you need to do and should do, and you’re wasting time because you’re not focused on doing things that you can do.
I had a recent example of this in my career, in my work life, where we were wasting a lot of time on some business that was big business, but we were going nowhere with it. It was taking us nowhere. It was problematic. It was just not fit for what we do and who we are. And I said goodbye to it today. Because I have so much new business and big opportunities on the horizon. Things I’ve never even dreamed or thought about in my career are now coming to the forefront as we speak.
So my point of this is: don’t waste time on smaller stuff than you’re capable of. Go after and set your sights on things that are so big, so opportunistic, so incredible, that you just never even know the opportunities that you’re missing because you’re wasting time on countless small, minute, problematic things. Don’t waste time in your work life and don’t waste time in your personal life. It’s a two-fold component. Don’t waste time on your phone when you’re sitting there with your kids. Don’t waste time watching sports with your friends, rather than having real, deep conversations about how life is going. Don’t waste time mindlessly doing tasks when you could be doing things that you really enjoy.
“Don’t waste time” is a really critical thing in how you live and how you work. And it dawned on me today that I had wasted some time, and I need to focus on things so far greater, so far bigger that it’s just amazing.
