How many minutes of your life did you waste this year over things you had no power of and no control of? Let’s talk about this for a moment because there are things that you have to let go of in your life if you don’t want 2022 to look like 2021, 2020, 2015 or 2010. So many times, we look back on our life and think “damn. I wasted so many minutes on things that I couldn’t control.” Think about this.
How many minutes are you wasting in your life by thinking of someone else’s life? How many comparisons have stolen your joy and your time last year? How long have you been entertained by other people’s problems? How long have you spent carrying other people’s problems?
If you keep telling yourself that you would be better off without all these things against you and you are only focusing on the negative, don’t forget that the biggest battle you will ever have is the internal one. Sometimes the biggest thing in your way is YOU. Maybe you are tolerating too much in your life. Once you realize that you need to live with a sense of urgency, it changes your whole perspective. Then you waste your time on things that you will have a chance of controlling. Really, ask yourself - what has comparison done for you? How many of us wasted too many minutes of your life compared to your life? I have my hand raised. I’m guilty of it too. So many minutes just in comparison! Imagine if you traded those comparison minutes with appreciation minutes.
If you want 2022 to be different than any other year, you need to reflect on the past year. The year you just lived is your greatest tool for the future. It’s time for you to take stock of your life and calculate the following things. It’s time for you to calculate the time you spent on people that don’t deserve to be in your life. They are sucking your life out of you and you allow it when you don’t have time for it. It’s time for you to calculate how much time you spent telling yourself what you are and are not capable of. Your mind is your only limit. It’s time for you to take stock of how many minutes you have spent in your jealousy. Jealousy is a poison in your mind. How much longer will you spend poisoning yourself with thoughts of someone else’s life? It’s not your life to know!
2022 is going to be the year you change everything for the better. The year you became the best version of you. Take stock and trim out the toxic time wasters. Don’t let things outside of your control, control you. You got this.
It all starts with you.
