So little time

My wish for you is for you to have and to be enjoying a Happy Monday.

It may take years to become the best but we live in a world that demands the best from the unlearned, the untried and the immature. We are living in a world where imperfect people who are seeking to highlight, epitomize and display perfection. Perfection is presented as a quality that can be achieved with the same speed that one can walk into a fast food store and be served.

 There are persons who recruit successful persons in order to boast of their own successes but will not invest in recruiting and training. Their mandate is to have under their umbrella the best at all times and have no desire to run the risk of investing in prospects and then see the prospect recruited by someone else when trained.

There are persons  scout for those with potential then coach and train these hopefuls only do so for the benefit of those who recruit the successful and the best. These are the the persons with the eyes to spot abilities and talents while remaining unselfish but releases those that they have recruited and trained.

There is no shortcut to growth although the natural process to growing can be cheated and/or enhanced. It may take years to become the best and even more time and efforts are required to remain the best.

This is the world where the inexperienced, the untrained and the novice must enter. The world that give no quarters and initially demand the best. It is a world that demands hundred of percent on what it invests and is unwilling to enter into risky investments.

Into this world must enter the hopeful, the risk taker, the entrepreneur and those who hope to rise above  mediocrity in this life. Many persons enter with big dreams and begin crying after the first attempt when their dreams and expectations are shattered. The immediate dream of success is not realized and the expected support of friends and family is instead ridicule.

These are some of the reality that stand in the way of launching out. There are many persons who grew with the wise words 'A bird in hand is worth two in the bushes." or "Don't give up what is sure in order to pursue a dream that may never be realized." There are many who know however that if a person desire to catch big fishes then he must abandon the shore and sail into the deep sea.

You and I have approximately 22,000 days that we can regard as the most productive days of our lives. We will be asleep for approximately 1/3 of this time which will leaves us with approximately 14,700 days. If we work for five day each week that will leave us with approximately 10,500 days. If we were to work 8 hours each day then we are left with approximately 3500 days in which to achieve our dreams and aspirations..

So then if the most productive days of our lives fall between the ages of 15 and 75 years of age we have approximately 3500 days or 84,000 hours in which to make the best use of our lives working eight hours per day for five days each week .

A forty hour work week and eight hours sleep per day only accounts for half our productive work years. That leaves approximately 11,000 days (not counting sleep time) that is available to utilize and still make an impact. There is still one half of our productive years to pursue our dreams and ideas.

We can sit back and relax and allow the days to pass by or we can look at life and realize that there is so little time and there is so much that can get done. Have fun pursuing your dream and ideas this week.
