It’s thrilling to hear stories from people who take on the suggested assignment and then successfully squeeze past and present passions into their hectic lives.

Things like yoga, the guitar, the saxophone, writing or riding horses.

I received a note from a workshop participant who had surprised her 5th grade son by showing up for lunch at school. Here’s what she said:

“He was thrilled! I think those days are numbered, however, with adolescence and middle school right around the corner. But it certainly made my day and I felt so much better after just doing that one little thing.”

What about you? Did you make an effort during the past week to spend your time the way YOU really want to spend it? You can say YES even if it’s just a few minutes of one little thing.

Did it feel great?
Re-energizing?

Now do more this week for an even greater reward.

If you haven’t taken on the challenge yet, I hope you will.
Just make a list of all those things you wish you had time to do. Then choose just one of them and work it in to your calendar this week…even if it is just for 10 minutes. Actually write it on your calendar…just like you would a meeting with your boss.

Now – just do it because as Carl Sandburg said:

“Time is the coin of your life.
It is the only coin you have and only you can determine how it will be spent.
Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.”

Carl Sandburg
