Tales Of Time,Triumph and Taking Charge.

Dealing With Limiting Mindsets.

Gather ’round, dear friends, and let me regale you with a tale spun from the pages of Laura Vanderkam’s delightful tome, “I Know How She Does It.” Now, picture if you will, a world where time dances like a capricious sprite, where one’s nest isn’t always left to its own devices but sometimes usurped by an unsuspecting cuckoo. Ah, but fear not, for amidst the chaos, there lies a path to reclaiming control, much like our intrepid protagonist discovered.

Our story begins with a damsel in distress, burdened by the weight of a thousand chores, playing the role of Cinderella in a modern-day fable. But lo and behold, our heroine, in a stroke of genius, decides to wrestle back control of her time, her kingdom. She banishes the lurking distractions of social media and frivolous activities, opting instead for pursuits that truly enrich her life.

Now, dear reader, picture a patient of mine, drowning in a sea of responsibilities, grappling with self-esteem as if it were a slippery eel. But fear not, for she too found her footing upon the solid ground of non-negotiables. By enlisting the aid of her gallant husband and rallying her kin to the cause, she forged a shield against the onslaught of time’s cruel whims.

But ah, distractions lurk in every shadow, threatening to ensnare even the most valiant of souls. “I cannot focus,” cries the weary traveler, besieged by the cacophony of modern life. Yet fear not, for with a flick of the wrist and a nod to David Allen’s sage advice, dispensed in his book Martial Arts Of Getting Things done — one can carve out a sanctuary of productivity amidst the chaos.

Ah, but what of ownership, you ask? Indeed, dear reader, it is a precious commodity, not to be relinquished lightly. Whether it be time, energy, or coin, one must stand steadfast as the guardian of their own fate, lest they fall prey to the whims of others.

And what of perfection, that elusive siren luring us into treacherous waters? Cast aside such notions, for perfection is but a mirage, a shimmering illusion dancing on the horizon. Instead, focus on the task at hand, and let the rest fall where it may.

But what of responsibility, you say? Ah, my friends, fret not, for it is but a puzzle waiting to be solved. Rather than cower in fear, embrace the challenge with the spirit of a warrior, turning each trial into a game to be won. And so, dear friends, as the years roll by and challenges mount like waves crashing upon the shore, remember this: with each obstacle overcome, we emerge stronger, wiser, ready to face whatever the future may hold. For in the end, it is not our bodies that falter, but our minds that hold the key to our destiny
