Stop and look around you. We dream of the time that we can do what we want, go where we want and have what we want. Time is an important element in our lives that allows us to measure where we are, where we been and where we are going. In order to understand things around us, we have to compare and measure ourselves to where we are, where we been and where do we want to go. I always believe self awareness is the starting point. Being aware of what you are doing, what you are saying and how you react to others. So you want to be the best that you can be. Ask yourself where do I stand in comparison to what I am measuring myself to. If not there yet, then how much time do I have to get there? Your dream may take time. Your dream may take dedication, sacrifice and discipline to get to that place that you feel is your final destination. Always be aware of your surroundings, for your surroundings may try to control your outcome. Your surroundings can be a person, a place, or a thing. How do you interact with your surroundings? How does the surroundings react to you? Be alert, let it all come to you, then prepare to act on these surroundings. As we do these things, time is still ticking, the earth is still moving and we have to decide if we want to continue during what we are doing or decide to keep moving forward. Just because, you choose not to make a decision, in all actually you have made a decision. You have made a decision to not make a decision. You choose to stop and do nothing, doesn't mean your surroundings have stopped. It is still moving with you or without you. Decide to take control of your life, because life goes on with every tick of the clock. Time does not wait for no one. It keeps ticking and you have to decide if you want to be on time and not always late. Successful people always make time to be on time.
