Dream Derailer#9d- Insufficient Time

Posted on by

Let me start off by saying, “You have enough time.”  Or let me put it more precisely, “You have all the time you’re ever going to get!”  Time is the great equalizer.  Unlike money and talent, everybody gets the same amount of time.  Time is the one thing that no matter what we do we won’t get any more or any less of. Now, I have to admit it feels like time does seem to fly when we are doing certain things, drag with others, and to even stand still under certain conditions.  However unless you fly to the moon or evoke quantum physics theories, we each will have the same number of hours.

So with that said, let’s look at what the real issue is, managing the time we have.  One strategy for getting control of your time is to approach it like you would money.  You’ve got to know how much you have, where you’re spending it, and how much you have left.  It’s the same with your time.  When we value something we keep track of it, appreciate it, and don’t waste it. Where is your time being spent.  Do you know?  How much time did you waste today on things that did not move you in the direction of your most important goals?

How to Find More Time

As we’ve discussed, you will not find any more time, so you will have to redistribute the time you have.  Everyone gets 24 new hours every single day and most people say they are still too busy.   But, what we may not think about is how small amounts of time add up.  We’re looking for that big chunk of time which we may not be able to find so easily.  Did you know that if you just set aside ten minutes a day to work on a specific goal that it would equate to over 60 hours in a year?   What if you put just thirty minutes aside each day, that’s less time than one television show.  You would find over 180 hours.  That almost eight 23 eight- hour days in a years time.  What could you accomplish in 23 full work days?  It’s like the latte factor in saving money.  Now that we’ve established the fact that we have the time, next you need to determine how much time you need for your goals or dreams.   Next take a serious look at how you are spending your time now.  Find the time wasters and schedule your important work during that time. Before you know it, you’ll find that you have more time than you thought you did.

Dream Derailer #9c: Lack of Creativity about Money

Think Outside the Box

Most projects require some amount of money in order to be successful, but money is merely a medium of exchange. Think outside the box.  We may not need actual cash, but we do need something of value to exchange for the resources we need to invest in our dreams.  What is it that you have to offer?  Everyone has natural or acquired gifts and talents and the greatest tool you have to get the resources you need is your creativity and imagination.  Some people quit or postpone going after their dreams because they just think about cash and cash alone. Below are a few questions you can ask to stimulate your thinking about attracting the resources you need.

  1. Have you ever thought about bartering?  That’s how people used to do thing in the past before we got so dependent on greenbacks and plastic.
  2. Is there someone else that has a similar goal that you can share the costs with?
  3. What talents do you have that can bring in the resources you need?

If none of these ideas work for you, consider getting together with a master-mind group and brainstorming on your project to come up with some creative ideas.  Who knows, there might be a less expensive course of action and you might be closer to your goals than you think!

Dream Derailer #9b: Insufficient Resources (Money)

“The amount of money we earn is a reflection of what we feel we are worth.” This is just one of the profound statements that Margaret Lynch, author of ‘The Secret of Intentional Wealth, spoke about during the 2011 World Tapping Summit.  She explained that our outer reality reflects our inner state.  She encouraged listeners to examine  their silent and verbal conversations about money and the danger of constantly saying, “I can’t afford that?”

What Are Your Beliefs and Language Regarding Money?

Carol Tuttle, (another EFT practitioner on wealth) asserted that we have lost contact with money.  We don’t see it since most transactions are done electronically, and therefore we create more debt.  Debt is a blockage of the abundance.  Tapping helps to remove the blocks and the natural abundance flows to us.   She believes that, we sabotage or block our success because of our beliefs around money. We either don’t believe we deserve it, think that wealth is worldly or unspiritual, or perhaps don’t feel we deserve success because of some past indiscretion, action, or self-betrayal.  The language we speak either attracts money to us or keeps it beyond our reach.  Do we secretly resent people who have money?  Do we think rich people are crooks?  Are we jealous when someone else gets something that we don’t have?  These are just a few of the questions she recommends we answer to remove any blockages we have about attracting money.

3 Resources No Plan Can Succeed Without

Perhaps more dreams have gone down the drain because of the lack of these three resources than any other.  Everybody needs them and no plan will be successful without them.  I have been in business for over twenty-five years and although there is still so much to learn, a few big lessons stick out as critical.  I still believe energy is one of the most fundamental, but I’ve already dedicated an entire discussion to it.  And, we’re already assuming that you have the vision, values, and virtues you need that were discussed in a different topic, but there are still three critical resources that without them, any plan is doomed.  Have you guessed what they are?  I believe the big three are: time, talent, and money.  Unless you get control over your time, money, and talent you may be in danger of derailing your dreams.

Be Aware of Your Programming

Over the past week I have been listening to experts at the ‘World Tapping Summit’ speak about how to overcome all sorts of limitations.  Some of the presenters were Jack Canfield, Bruce Little, Carol Look, and Carol Tuttle.  Tapping is a blend of conscious intentions, tapping on energy points in the body (meridians and acupressure), and reciting specific affirmations to reprogram or reframe what is blocking us from receiving the abundance in the universe.  That abundance could be health, wealth, or self-esteem, etc.  Jack Canfield makes the point that much our limitations come from our earliest programming that we received from our caretakers. He says we must consciously think about what was going on in our parents’ lives during our first six years since we were just sponges and extrapolate what messages were probably recorded on our tapes without question.  The programming however does not end there, it continues throughout our lives and the experts say that 95% of what we are acting out is our inherited programming that makes up our subconscious. To be successful, we need to live more consciously.  Over the next three days I will discuss  three resources that most people are convinced are keeping them from succeeding: time, money, and talent.

Dream Derailer #8c: Ingratitude for Visions

Be Grateful for Your Dreams and Visions

Visions are gifts to you of what is possible if you would just honor your dreams and moral thoughts and act on them.  Each thought has its own frequency and energy and it is this energy that guides us to our highest potential.  When we are on the right frequency, we have the power of attraction and the right people, resources, and opportunities unfold before us with amazing ease.  When we are on the wrong frequency or the wrong track, much of life seems to be a burden or uphill battle.

Visions are Divine Signs

That is why it is important to spend time focusing on our dreams and visions.  We must keep them foremost in our thoughts so that they can guide us to our intended reality.   It helps to respect our visions when we realize that not only are they possible but that they already exist in the thought realm. We must treat them as sacred and understand that to see future possibilities is a divine sign specifically for us.  We would not receive a vision if it was not possible.  To ignore these gifts, is to ignore our highest potential.  We must understand that thoughts are real but they need our focus, faith, and action to coax them from the realm of  thought into the realm of reality.
