Nope. Reverse that, as Willy Wonka (played by Gene Wilder in the 1971 classic movie) once said.
So little time . . . so many stories.
Everyone has the same 168 hours. Seven days. Twenty-four hours.
Yet so few accomplish their goals while others do nothing with it. Oh, sure, they may work their forty-hour a week job, but what about when they come home? They plop themselves in front of the TV and . . . do nothing.
How much time could you devote to your dream?
Take thirty minutes a day and dive head first into whatever it is you want to accomplish. Three and a half hours in a week.
The funny thing is, we can all find a bit of time to do something. Wake up a little early, stay up a bit later once everyone is in bed. If you work at a job, how do you spend your breaks and lunches?
I am a Netflix fanatic. I have so many movies, documentaries, shows, in my queue and currently watching list that, if nothing else new ever came in, I'd be set for years. No kidding. Years.
But I do limit my Netflix watching. Because I have stories to write. It's okay to watch movies and read books, to absorb stories. But if it gets in the way of actually doing what you should be doing, that's when you'll wake up twenty, thirty, forty years down the road and wonder where your life went.
So get going.
Today.
The world depends on it.
