Time - How much do you have?

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 today. 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, 52 weeks in every year etc... we all share this same formula on this planet, no man or woman no matter how much power or money can increase or decrease that formula.

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 did along the way" These choices we make in life will affect the time we have to be with our family, or allowing us to follow and develop something we love doing. A lot of people jump into every promotion they can find, because of the feeling of power or more money, or an ideal more money will create more time and while this gives us a high for a while, it may end us taking us away from something we love doing. I ask you a simple question "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 specificity defined themselves by their work, why is this ? Do we really feel our only true value we offer in life is what we do at work? This is easily to see in our society an example of this would be, when you out anywhere among a group of new people, very quickly in the conservation you will be asked, "so 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 and happiness into our lives? So how can some people find the time to train or follow a passion and others don't.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The answer is "Choices" and you have the power to make them! For me my passion is Silat and through that, being able to help others find the enjoyment, fun and the life enrichment that learning Silat can be whether it's the unlimited combat system or the inner journey that the art can bring you on. I have met along the way some great life long friends, and a unique pathway to interact and spend time with great people. It be great to be able to help you share this journey and experience Silat for the first time, but if silat is not your cup of tea.. then try and find a passion that makes you happy and enjoy yourself. Only you have the power to make that choice.
