No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time.

Priorities
You rarely have time for everything you want in this life, so you need to make choices. And hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are.

Priorities
You have exactly one life to live to do everything you ever wanted. Stop wasting it caught up in things that don’t matter.

Value the moment
We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery.
H. G. Wells
I really like this one!
In our busy lifes we tend to forget to pause every once in a while and just embrace the moment. Embrace fresh air, a beautiful sky, the people around you, a cup of tea, or whatever it is. Embrace your work, embrace your pain, because it makes you feel alive, embrace whatever emotion you are feeling right now.
Take the time to feel alive every once in a while!

Create the life you want
If you don’t make the time to work on creating the life you want, you’re eventually going to be forced to spend a lot of time dealing with a life you don’t want.

No time? Write it down!
I read this awesome idea at reddit the other day and I wanted to share it with you:
Write down the things you wish you could do when you have no time, then do those things when you’re bored.
As simple as that.
We all know the feeling of daily stress and having a lot on our minds. Often the best ideas come at the worst times and sometimes we just postpone them mentally until we forget. The next time we think of them we are likely to be in another stressful situation without much time on our hands.
On the other hand there are times when we sit around, have nothing much to do and think about what we could possibly do (other than watching TV, playing videogames or any other leisure activity). This will be the time when your new To-Do-List comes in. It is different than your typical To-Do-List, because it is not a list of things that you have to do right now, but a list of things that you would love to do “if you got time to do it”. So basically every time you will look at the list, you will have a great pool of ideas to work on.
Typical entries on such a list could be things like “Write a letter to my grandparents” or “Get started on learning some coding language”
Be careful though not to write down idea after idea without ever acting on them. Nothing is more frustrating than a long and meaningless To-Do-List without anything actually crossed out.
That’s it for today, I hope some of you think of this idea as highly as I do.
Good luck with your lists!

Ask yourself:
Do we need more time? Or do we need to be more disciplined with the time we have?

A concept of time
If we do it now, we’ll never run out of time.
Anonymous
I really like this idea.
From a rational standpoint, you will run out of time eventually. But you won’t care as long as you are acutally present and working on something with focus and passion.
Have you ever worked yourself in some sort of frenzy over something? You probably have, but let me share this personal memory of mine:
I can clearly remember young me playing with lego bricks just for the sake of doing it. I did not know how much time I had and I did not care.
5 minutes? Go play Lego! 5 hours? Go play Lego!
Apparently the concept of “Meh, it’s not worth to start now, I just have some minutes left” is a mindset that we adapt as we get older but I want to encourage you to forget about it every now and then.
Because, let’s be honest: Those moments when we forget about time and everything around us, when we focus just on the task we are doing, the game we are playing, the book we are reading, the person we are talking to, those are the moments that actually make us happy, the moments that make us feel alive.
Those are the moments we want in our lives.
When was the last time you were so absorbed in an activity that you completely forgort about your surroundings? If the answer is not ‘today‘, make a ‘today‘ out of it today!
And now excuse me, I might have to fish my Lego out of the basement.
