“Time is the ultimate currency..”

-Elon Musk

The reality is to go from where you are to where you want to be is going to take TIME. In order to accomplish really large goals and dreams in your life it can take decades or more.

We all share the same 24hrs in a day. There’s no shortcut to the process. In my life that is a big reason why health is so important. I want as much time as possible to accomplish my goals. I want to optimize that time too by taking good care of my body. At this stage of my life I know who I am and what I want in life. My TIME is focused on accomplishing what I want in this life and making my dreams a reality.

Part of this process right now is filling my life with QUALITY people who are attracted to me for who I am and what I want in life. These are people who share my vision in life & support me, love & respect me, value my opinions, and want to spend time with me. Anyone who doesn’t – that’s fine, perfectly OK but I’m not going to give them the gift of my time because it is my most valuable resource. Its simple and straightforward, and it works. By not giving your time to those who don’t share your visions & dreams in life you dramatically raise the QUALITY of the people in your life.

There’s a saying, “If you want to know someone’s future, look at their friends.” I think there is a lot of truth to that statement – the quality of the people you allow in your circle says a lot about who you are, how you value yourself, and where you are headed in life.

Its natural to want instant gratification, the perfect business, relationship, job, etc. The reality is it takes TIME. There is a PROCESS to get from where you are to where you want to be. Be Patient. Life moves incrementally! There are no shortcuts. I think that’s why a lot of people fail at accomplishing their dreams and goals in life. They can’t handle the waiting period, the time you have to go through, sometimes literally years where it seems like NOTHING is happening, day in and day out.

All of us, myself included are basically living lives that are way less than we are capable of living. If you just try a little bit harder than everybody else, and you work slightly harder than everybody else to develop yourself and become better – over time you will become exceptional and people will notice this and the right people will naturally want to associate with you.

A balanced, centered and successful person is mostly the result of an inner transformation. It has to start with YOU. It is only by putting yourself first and giving to yourself that you can get to a point in life where you can give to others. In the process you will stand out as a valuable person. After all, everyone loves a winner not a whiner!

We are all capable of being the person who walks in the room and lights it up but we have got to get to a place in our lives where we love our life and are enjoying our life and living it on our terms. Wherever you go you are hanging out with other people who have the same great vision in their lives and look to you for leadership. That is how it should work!

Happiness is the conscious effort of choosing to be happy no matter what happens in life or where life takes you.
