We’ve all heard this for years. As I continue to examine my life, and create the life I want in the future, this begins to make more and more cents. (get the money reference?) At jobs we trade time for money and that just makes sense in our culture because that is what we know.
If you look at time like a bank account, we are only getting paid with 24 hours in a day. How do we invest that time? 8 to 12 hours working for yourself of someone else. In those non-working hours how are we “spending” our time, to the benefit of our bodies, families or our own sense of peace and relaxation? Or can we combine all of those together sometimes and hit the jackpot of time investment by reaping dividends in all three areas at once?
Am I examining this too deeply? I don’t think so, I’m just making up for all the years that I have not examined it and just coasted. Where you invest your time tells you what’s important to you. Are they the same things you love to do? My question to you.

True, but sometimes we invest time in doing something we hate to be able to do more of what we love most.

So true, I agree with that. This next question may push you a little bit. It sure did me. Is there a different way to look at what we hate to do and shift our paradigm to possibly see even the things we hate to do in a different light? Could we use our daily activities to add value to our view of ourselves that could alter the things we hate to do to things we like to do or even love to do? Hmmm, and as Yoda says, “Think on this I will.”
