You won't find the time to do the things that are truly important to you. You have to create it. And you have to protect it. Because if you don't, it won't happen. Time will not magically appear. This is why it's so important for you to create that time. To protect it against the busyness of life. This track was recorded outdoors and contain ambient sounds

Hi guys,

Hope you are enjoying your day today making a cool video from a hat that I just stayed last night with my friend Andrew,

Pretty sweet.

Today the topic of the video is making the time to do the things that you love.

So you won't find the time to do the things that are important to you.

You won't find it.

You have to create the time for the things that you love doing,

For the things that are important for you in your life,

For the things that you want to make happen.

If you don't create the time,

You will not find it.

So just think about it.

When we have a doctor's appointment,

For example,

This is something that the majority of the people take very seriously because it's difficult to get a time because if you miss it,

It's going to be forever for the next time to get there because it's important,

It's something that you make a priority.

The majority of the people make it a priority.

So you create the time to go to the doctor.

You protect that time.

You put it in the calendar,

You put a sticky note on your fridge,

You do whatever it takes for you to make that happen,

Right?

So you are not finding the time,

You are creating the time.

You are putting the intention behind so that that happens.

So you need to do the exact same thing for the rest of things in your life.

Anything that is important for you,

Anything that you want to make happen,

You have to create that time.

You have to book it in your calendar and you have to protect it because if you don't,

Something else will show up and that time will be gone.

And what happens is that we tend to procrastinate doing the things that are really important to us because they are not urgent,

Because there is not a specific deadline.

So we tend to be busy doing things that are maybe not as important because there is a deadline.

Someone put a deadline on them and now we are committed to that deadline.

We are sacrificing our time,

Our priorities,

The things that we want to make the other thing happen.

And if you don't,

If you're not intentional,

If you don't create that time and protect it for the things that you want to see in your life,

They just won't happen.

They just won't happen.

And I was reflecting on my own life and if we didn't create the time to write a book,

We would not have a book because it's never a good time to write a book.

It's never a good time to sit down and do it,

Right?

Same with creating courses.

If we didn't create that time and protect it to make that happen,

It just wouldn't happen.

Because right now,

Like if we don't make the priority to create a course,

We have a lot of ideas in our mind,

But we just don't make them happen because we are not making them a priority.

We are not protecting that time because it's important to me,

But it is not urgent.

You see,

No one is waiting for it.

So I kind of let it be a little bit and it's not happening as fast as I would like to,

But I have the ability to create and protect that time anytime.

So I invite you in your life to try to look at your calendar,

Try to reflect about the things that are important to you,

Try to think about the things that you want to do,

The things that you want to see happening in your life,

And then create the time for them and protect it.

Same thing as a doctor's appointment.

If someone tells you to do something at that specific time,

You just say,

Sorry,

I can't.

I have another important commitment.

And maybe that commitment is learning to play the piano,

Reading your favorite book,

Creating a course,

Learning how to dance,

Spending more time with your family,

Whatever that is for you,

You have to create the time and you have to protect it.

Okay.

So I hope you guys are having a great day.

Let me know if this resonated with you.

Let me know what you are planning on creating time for.

Share it with me.

I would love to hear it and I hope you guys have an amazing day.

I'm going to pack my things down because we are going back today,

But yeah,

We stayed in that hut.

You want to see it?

Okay.

Just check this out.

I just want to show it to you because it's really cool.

I really liked it.

So it's very cozy with the good stuff,

Nice table.

And then there is a ladder there that goes to the attic.

That's where I slept tonight.

That's on top of the fire.

Yeah.

And this was amazing.

And my friend Andrew,

He slept in a tent that is like a hammock,

But very nice,

Way nicer.

He invented it and he slept in there.

He was testing an under quilt.

So nice and warm.

Yeah.

So that's my video for today.

I hope you guys have a nice day and see you in another video.

Adios.

Very true. We need to the protect time with our family. My FIL just passed away and it’s too late to make up for lost time—other events always seemed to get in the way on both of our ends. Family time is sacred and needs to be protected.
