Do you ever pay attention and consider the extent of your journey of life, from since where it started, whether or not you’ve truly made the most out of each moment provided? That life is short, and we only have a moment in this form on Earth, is something many would consider obvious. You’ll probably agree with me also that the idea of life being thought of as short stems from our desire to live a much longer and fulfilling experience. In other words, you and I, each expect to go the distance in our experience of life on Earth.

If you hold the same views but somehow feel like your moment hasn’t yielded much to celebrate about, it may well be that you’re your own obstacle in many ways. You could be killing your living time by simply remaining ignorant of the fact that you actually have a limited moment, which itself is a call-to-action for you to make each moment count. However, that lack of attentive presence to remain mindful of your every moment means there’s never any real sense of urgency to touch base with your journey of life. Not just that, but the world you live in also has so much happening before you, enough to distract you from what matters most, though it may not seem like a distraction at all because it feels good. This is when you’re just maybe a spectator and enjoying the good that others are making possible, in their own journeys of life, while yours isn’t making any headways.

A common practice is to keep abreast with whatever is trending in life, and in a way totally divert attention from what’s likely to advance your course, and worse still nurture that greatest thief of time called procrastination. I think we’ve all come across many of such people who seem to have all the time in the world to do anything else except what they truly need to do to advance their lives. Maybe you’re one of those who, without due regard for what truly matters to advance their lives, will choose to follow political debates religiously and endlessly, or siphon their critical resources in support of some sporting acts, or spend unreasonably long hours hooked on social media etc., but all this for no clear and definitive outcomes to influence a better future for themselves.

If you find that maybe in your life you’ve developed some kind of defensive mechanism against why you just can’t act now to get your life advancing, know that soon, before you notice, there’ll be no time left for your journey. Make effort to catch yourself repeating endlessly, and never followed by any action, phrases like “my time is coming”, or “I’ll do this next time”, or “someday will be some day”, which only serves to strengthen the habit for procrastination.

Are you in anyway caught up in such a defensive cage, which is really costing you much of your living time? Do you have any desire to not kill time, by engaging in anything but what matters most to advance your life, and instead live your moment fully and consciously so? If you’ve answered yes then the next Episode 13 of the Restructure Your Life Podcast is all you need to create a breakthrough, by establishing a focal point of your life.
