Time is money. It’s not cliché or maybe it is, but it is also very true! When you waste time, you are wasting money. The way we as people use or misuse time is everything! Procrastinators are always broke (a word, I HATE! A word, I try never to use) or in between financial manifestation. Procrastinators spend their time hoping, wishing and dreaming. To turn time into money; requires strategy, planning, strategic thinking and implementation. Everyone has the same 24 hours allotted to them, it’s the use of those 24 hours that determine one’s financial ability not just for that day, but for the future.
Pity parties, gloom and doom views, rants, complaints take time and robbed one of energy and in that time, there has also been wasted money! Money not earned is wasted. Opportunities are everywhere! However, when people need money, it is extremely hard for some to look for it in opportunity. Opportunity by definition isn’t a guarantee, it is a possible guarantee. The need for money creates a sense or surge for urgency and to wait seems pointless and useless. However, rarely has or does money come immediately, no matter how bad it is needed. Asking for people takes time, because they have to process why you need it, if they have it and if they are willing to take a chance on someone to give it to them. People may disguise the request as a loan, but anytime money is involved, the person borrowing the money may not be able to repay it and even if they can, there is always a chance he or she will need it again.
What if with the same energy of asking, waiting, hoping and convincing someone to loan you money, you found something in your home, in your hand to assist in making money. The same time used to ask could become energy to earn. Now your time has gone from negative in value to a positive value.
I hate waiting, I’m not sure of anyone who enjoys it, but I would rather wait on something to manifest that I’m creating or developing than to place my time in the hands of someone else’s time. If you’ve ever needed money, and asked someone then you know all too well that ‘your’ time and their time are different and rightly so! Your last minute call shouldn’t be their emergency. Well if your time became valuable today, even if the manifestation of the value didn’t present itself until tomorrow, you would have used opportunity today to change, improve your tomorrow! However, if you sit, wait, hope and pray (yep I said pray and in some cases ‘prey’) then not only will your time be invaluable today, but you’ve guaranteed, reinforced that your tomorrow will be no better than today!
Changing the way financial shortages are handled is crucial to ending the financial shortages. There is more than one way to do anything. Don’t be married to handling your money the way another does, as it will not work for you. Secondly, in most cases, people only know a very small portion of what is really occurring with and in someone’s financial situation. They know what they see and what they perceive, unless one is allowed inside, there isn’t anyway, the real financial position can be known. More important than the position is how he or she managed to arrive in the position. Ignoring the method can make one envious of something that isn’t glamorous or desired.
Time and money have the best outcome when both are managed and used wisely. Wasting either has a profound effect on the other. Abuse of time prolongs the absence of money. Abuse of money is guaranteed to increase one’s time without money. Don’t get me wrong, there is a time for everything; time to have fun, relax, enjoy family, etc., however the things that really abuse our time are usually foolish things and things beyond one’s control. Those distractions prolong unwanted positions because energy and time are shifted and consumed into unproductive chaos!
