I just don’t have time…

What is the one thing you’d really love to do but keep saying you just don’t have the time?

For me, it’s playing the saxophone. I think that in the last year, I’ve probably played it less than 5 times.

This is an activity that makes me really happy even though I’m not that good at it. You can imagine that every time it’s almost like starting from scratch since I don’t keep the consistency and momentum going. And even though it makes me happy, I always seem to push it right to the bottom of my list of things to do.

Not because I don’t like it.

Not because I’m procrastinating.

I just never seem to find the time… 

That’s when I heard Tony Robbins speak and he said something profound, “If you don’t have 10 minutes, you don’t have a life.”

Then it struck me – what kind of life do I create for myself if I don’t have 10 minutes to do something that I love?

The fact is that I do have a life – a very full one for that matter – so I ask myself… How can I find those 10 minutes to play the sax?

Do you have something like this in your life as well? Something you’d love to do and yet you don’t seem to find the time?

Or perhaps you do find the time?

One thing I am going to do is adopt that mantra – if I don’t have 10 minutes, then I don’t have a life. I know that it makes me pause, think and decide what kind of life I want to have. And then, maybe, I’ll drop what I’m doing and go play the sax.

If you dedicate 10 minutes a day to yourself, doing what you love, what would it be – let me know.
