Happy Monday let’s talk about the concept of wasted time. If you have ever heard of people wasting time on Earth on frivolous thing trust me its real. In addition, on wasting time on trivial things there is also the concept where people believe that you will lose things if you don’t do things in certain times. This pressure that we put on each other can be hurtful and not align with what our true purpose in life really is.
Timing and Accomplishments
An example of timing and accomplishments is the thought process that everything must be done in a certain amount of time. When I went to college, I was told that by 25 I should be in my career, dating if not engaged or married and preparing to have children. As I got older, I realize how crazy that thinking really is. There is no need to accomplish things in certain ways. This pressure causes all kinds of issues that are not even in alignment of goals. When I turned 28, I had my first child and even with all things in place I was told that I was too old to have a kid. What?
These pressures don’t help but honestly hurt others. There are many who travel the world and aren’t looking for their accomplishments to be assigned to if they are attached to someone else in marriage or childbearing means. There is no waste of time when it comes to what you want to do in this world.
Wasting Time
However, you as a person get to set the timing of what you want. If you don’t want to be dating someone for 10 years only to find that they do not align with your timing-don’t. I know people who have done this and then the heartbreak of wasted time becomes real. Some of this is happens when communication is lacking. The other way that this happens is when someone communicates their lack of for example wanting to be married and one person believes they will treat them so well that they will change their mind. Do not do this.
This is failing yourself and lying to yourself about what you want. Also do not tell someone what you think they want to hear just to forsake of being alone. You will be alone in many ways doing this with a body next to you nightly.
Nothing is ever lost with Timing and Accomplishments
I really do dislike the notion that we tell people they are too young or too old to accomplish goals. There have been men and women who are in their 70s going back to get their GED. The same age brackets are also getting their college degrees. So why do we establish these crazy unrealistic guidelines on others? You can make anything happen in your world that you want to. If you want to run a marathon and haven’t done it before-do it now. Want to host your first book club? Do it. Take the limitations off of your life. Only you can stop your goals and flows.

Wasted Time vs Wasting Time
What are you doing this Monday as you approach your goals? If there is someone in your life making you feel a way about taking your time, starting over, or even rebuilding your own desires about what you see as an accomplishment-mark them. Listen to yourself and trust your gut. You do not have to have certain things in alignment and have it approved by people who aren’t financing or being an active participant in your personal time line. There is nothing you can’t do. Take charge of your world and make it happen.
