Short post, but it’s important.

Unsuccessful people’s favorite phrase is, “I don’t have time.”

There are other ones too: “I don’t have the resources. I don’t have the support. I don’t have the network. I don’t have a good relationship with my family. I’m emotionally drained. I’m depressed. I’m too nervous. I’m not a people person. It’s not that easy.”

But the truth is, all excuses come back to one grand excuse, and that’s the beloved concept of time.

And we all have the time.

  • If you have the time to browse Instagram while you’re sitting on the toilet…
  • If you have the time to take 20-minute showers in the morning…
  • If you have the time to call your friend to talk about what Kim Kardashian did today…
  • If you have the time to watch your favorite Netflix show…
  • If you have the time to spend an hour and a half cooking yourself a nice dinner…
  • If you have the time to take care of your friend’s dog…
  • If you have the time to deep scrub your bathroom floor…
  • If you have the time to read the entire Twilight…
