After a series of emails from one student, explaining that thou he really really wanted to train he couldn't train because he didn't have enough hours in the day. I thought I would talk about this. You see the cool thing about time is, that no matter where we live in the world, no matter what the colour of our skin, or our belief system, or how much money we have or earn, the one thing we all share in common is the following - There are 60 minutes in every hour, 24 hours in every day and 7 days in every week etc... no one has less of these than someone else !
So how come some people feel they don't have enough time? The bottom line is people make choices, these choices have the ability to fill up your day. There is a saying" a man get a face he deserves at 40", but the same can be said that " we end up getting the life we deserve by making the choices we choose" These choices we take in life will affect the time we have to be with our family, or allowing us to follow something we love doing. Alot of people jump into every promotion they can find, because of the feeling of power or more money, and while this gives us a high for a while, it may end us taking us away from something we love doing. Where we born just to work? When we look at a child we can see how time is spent in playing and enjoying life, but somewhere down the road of life we begin to lose this ability and tied ourselves up with all the wrappings of titles. We control our playful emotions by saying we indispensable and wrap ourselves with the latest gadgets to make us feel even more self importance. Don't get me wrong if this is your goal go for it, but if you feel, that part of you should be doing something else you enjoy, than you do have the power to make that happen. When you say to someone" I just don't have the time," what you are actually saying is "I really don't feel this in important enough to do as I would have to give something else up" is this is really the case? Men defined themselves by their work, when you out anywhere very quickly in the conservation you will be asked, what do you do? What we do as a hobby, a skill we learn or an interests we pursue is way down the list of how men tried to defined each other, and if someone steps outside of this mould, there are treated as weird. Why is this? Why do we reject following our hearts and doing something that will make us feel good about ourselves and bring fun? How can some people find the time to train and others don't. The answer is "Choices" and you have the power to make them!
There are other choices, like do I stay in watch the latest soap show on tv, or stay on the Internet an extra hour, or go to the pub.... all choices. So you see we have the same time and how we fill it is up to you and what you feel is important. I leave you with this thought ! Does anyone end up at the last moment in their life thinking.."I wish I spent more time at work" Remember you have the ability to do whatever you want,and if one of them is learning Silat, and that is something you really, really want to do, than you will find a way.
