Not for lack of effort. Or determination. Or resolve.
You and I have tried.
Presidents and kings have tried.
Ambassadors and delegations too.
No one has succeeded. All have failed.
It won’t sit at the table. It won’t communicate. It won’t negotiate.
It ravages.
It’s ruthless. Relentless. Rogue.
Time.
We think we can manage it; grab hold of it; allocate it; defer it.
We actually think we can get more of it. Or get it back!
But we can’t.
It slides through our hands like the wind.
We think there are things like ‘quality’ time and ‘family’ time and ‘me’ time.
But there’s not.
Time is just time.
Time does not discriminate.
Time does not care.
Time does not wait.
Time does what it wants.
Time ignores us all.
Any deal we try to make, any bargain we try to strike, is an illusion we create to fool ourselves.
The bad news is that our time will run out.
The good news is that you have all of the time that there is.
What you do with it is up to you.
This fall, I am launching a new keynote, based on my book The Power Principles of Time Mastery: Do Less, Make More, Have Fun. Here’s a preview:
I help organizations, business professionals and their teams increase their productivity, sharpen their focus and master their time.
If you know of an audience that would benefit from this keynote, please email me. If you have the time.
