BLOG: The Secret of Time: LRU

  Time is the ultimate goal. Maximize time doing more activities that bring joy and simplistic abundance to life. Chapter 3 in Jeff Olson’s The Slight Edge is titled “ The Secret of Time.”

  The most powerful force for change is one thing. TIME. Position your daily activities so that time is working for you instead of against you. Society today is consumed with the instant lifestyle. Instant coffee, instant cash, instant financing, etc. Most of us don’t want to take the time to be patient, and work towards our goal. There is a natural progression to life that has been acknowledged through the ages. That progression is plant, seed, cultivate.

  We plant a seed by joining the gym, then become frustrated and quit when a few days go by and there’s no fitness harvest. As a nation time is lost. Nobody sees the work that goes into becoming an overnight success. Failures, setbacks injuries, everyone who has accomplished something worthwhile has experienced it. But the general public doesn’t see it.

  In real life, anything of great importance happens through time.

  Success is a progressive realization of an inspired idea or desire. The MTV generation has a hard time grasping this.

  Whatever you have or have not achieved in life until this point, you can start again. Build a fresh pattern of abundance, starting today. However, you must have unwavering faith, because you won’t see it happening at first. Base your choices on applied knowledge, not what you see.

The author closes the chapter with the following;

  The Slight Edge is about your awareness. It is about you making the right choices, the choices that serve and empower you, starting right now and continuing for the rest of your life, and learning to make them effortlessly.

  It’s easy to do. And it’s easy not to do. And if you do it, it won’t kill you or destroy your chances for success today. But that simple error in judgement, compounded over time, will kill your chances for success. It will take you down and out of your life forever. And that choice is always yours.

  Start a new habit of simplistic abundance today. Let time work for you, not against you.
