"You cannot SAVE 'TIME' since it is not a bankable commodity, either you can invest it well by utilizing it well or lose it forever. There is no escaping time, it is an unforgiving taskmaster and does not offer any second chance to make it right."
This is a lesson that life teaches you via time. You cannot hold onto your life, age, looks or opportunity as all of those will move on and not necessarily for the better unless you lead a balanced and disciplined life. Even then, life is a chance and anything can happen - anytime! Life is a probability waiting to happen and if you step wrong or prefer to just stand still then the probability works against you. The only way is to move ahead even if by baby steps.
Having said that, I would like to come to the message, I am trying to convey in this newsletter. The topic is Time & Success.
What is the correlation between both?
What is the variable that connects both?
Most of us do not understand the importance of this correlation although we all know it. You need to understand that without the variable both Time & Success are wasted. This applies to both - business and life. So let me give you the answers.
The correlation between Time & Success is that the initiation of effort at the correct time enhances the success in any opportunity and also time (as in timespan) is important for preparation when you need to execute and bring results to an endeavor.
The variable that connects both Time & Success is Action (effort). It is imperative that Action needs to begin in order to get somewhere. Action begins with thought and then moves onwards towards fulfilment of a goal and continues without halting until the destination has arrived. The destination could be a goal, milestone or simply a task. The element of Time & Action lead to Success. This is the law of nature.
If you don't begin, you will anyways never Succeed. Just thinking is not a solution, thought has to precede action and action has to post-cede thought in order to reach the goal.
Most of us in have in our life - a desire to do something, achieve something; maybe a passion, explore a skill, get an opportunity or even maybe a promotion but we do not want to leave our comfort zone because we are afraid that we might fail. Therefore we give up even before we have acted upon our desire and let it be. If this is the case, one can never be successful despite however fervently one wishes or hopes.
Ultimately, non-action is just stagnation in real life unless we choose to live a spiritual life of non-action and non-doing which is very different than the non action I am writing about in this newsletter.
Every molecule in our body is alive and moving as we ourselves are pure energy, therefore we can never be still but we can be inactive akin to a coma. Being inactive is against our very being, our very nature. We have to keep moving, evolving, learning and growing. All this happens only when you reach out to get something done, it starts with the inner .and reaches out to the outer leading to initiating action.
Most of us fail due to our fears of what may happen or because our fear of failing outweighs the Euphoria of Success. This kind of paralysis is unacceptable because nothing in this world would have ever been achieved if everyone thought and had decided to give up due to fear. Fear is nothing but a mental obstacle, once you begin action, the path is revealed, step by step bringing you closer to success with every attempt.
Gather your courage and take firm but baby steps. As you gain confidence, the steps will change and you will move. You will only be successful if you listen when the universe speaks to you and evaluate your actions well - not from fear but from intelligence and move on.
