Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Louis Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson and Albert Einstein. - H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Where do you want to go in the next five years? What do you want to do? What do you want to become? Most of us have dreams, goals and desires for where we would like to take our lives. A common reason or excuse for not going there or doing those things you want to do is “I don’t have enough time.”

Is that really true? Would the better question to ask be, do you really want to do or be the things you state? I’m sure you’re looking at the quote and saying that some of those people were genius level intellects. Yes, I would say at least two, but the rest had the time and inclination to follow their hearts and do great things.

Arthur Blank and Bernie Marcus were fired from their home improvement jobs. Three years later their company, Home Depot, had annual sales of $1 Billion. They had the time.

Jeff Bezos was living in a 500 square foot apartment at age 30. Five years later because of his company Amazon, he was worth $10 Billion. He had the time.

Over the course of her amazing life, Mother Teresa helped thousands of people and many had their own lives changed by her. She had the time.

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel in less than 5 years. He had the time.

Over a period of five years, Columbus discovered the “New World”; the Bahamas, Cuba, North and South America. He had the time.

In less than two years, the mostly unknown Barack Obama became the 44th president of the United States. He had the time.

You have the time. Now, go use it for what you want.
