One of the things I hear often when mentoring someone is that my would be student feels like there is never enough time in a day. I’m not unsympathetic to this, since I too feel at times that days can be short. However, I’ve come to find that the best trick, if I may call it so, comes with setting aside one special hour per day.
What do you want to learn?
There are things you desire in life, knowledge that you crave. The question becomes complicated just because the idea of dedicating time to this desire can be overwhelming. What about time? What about my job? What about my partner? All these are valid questions, but the truth is that everything can start with one simple hour.
If the thought of setting aside one hour a day to learn something new seems like too little, like it would do nothing to get you closer to where you want to be, imagine how much closer you will get without it. The answer is obvious and needs little explanation.
One hour a day to learn a language, to work on your steem account, to learn an instrument. These are not unreasonable things, they are not unattainable goals. So it comes down to one question.
Why not?
Why should we not dedicate one hour a day to learn to be a better version of us? The fact that answering this question with anything reasonable is a challenge in itself, should say a lot. Without a doubt if the answers we give sound as if we are trying to convince ourselves of the reasons “why not” then we must reconsider our own reasoning.
This place, this platform can be an opportunity for all of us to learn. It certainly is one for me, spending some time reading different opinions from my own is also a key element of growth that I try not to neglect.
So, I’ll ask you the same questions to you: Why not? Why not pay yourself just 1 hour?
All the best to you all, my tribe of good intent, until next time...
