On Insult

On Insult:
Anything that happens to me is only a message that improves my being. 

“They” aren’t challenging me to be less than myself.
Nobody is. 
Who are “they” if they are not me?
That is not my obstacle to get around.

There is no one that is MY obstacle. 
I get to decide my obstacles.

What are challenges? 
Questions that query the growth of my being.
Challenges do not belong to “Them”. 
Challenges belong to me.
Challenges are not insults. 

“They” are not insulting me. 
Nobody is. 
Who are “they” if they are not me?

I can only insult myself.
I can insult myself if I allow insult.
I can only insult myself if I turn my eyes away from my goals, my desires, the faith that everyone gives me to that end...

How to Stop Wasting Time

The best way to stop wasting time is to remove your concept of what “wasting time” means first. 

You do not know if what you’re doing is going to inspire you into your next true mode of action.
Stop getting in your own way. 
Leave your Self, your Mind, alone; you are fine. 

Stop nitpicking yourself.

Who told you that what you’re doing right now is a waste of time? 
Haven’t you heard that your mind, your subconscious always shows you what you want to see? What you need to see?

If your mind understands your need for work, motivation, or inspiration, it will always lead you to those things subconsciously. 
If your mind understands your need for safety (which it does) it will always point at the things that help keep you safe. TRULY safe. You will have safety whether you like it or not. Actively looking for safety assumes to your mind that you do not have it. That is a hard life to live.

Stop being surprised at moments where you find yourself in the right place, at the right time, at the right moment, and just start being prepared.

Everything you see is what you have always wanted to see. So let your mind do its work, and leave it alone. It’s supposed to help you see what you want.

How do you know you always see the things that you want to see? Ask yourself one thing: if one thing you liked looking at gave itself to you completely today, would you use it or turn it away? 

If you would use it, you would design a purpose for it.
If you would turn it away, you understand that its design would undermine your purpose. 

Your mind already knows your purpose! 
That is why you would be able to turn away something even if it gives itself to you completely: what is giving itself to you is not considering your purpose, or the direction you’re trying to go in.

In fact, most of the things that give themselves to you completely are not considering your purpose or your needs, and if you can definitively turn it away, you have proven to your mind that you understand this.

This is what “No” means. 

There is no need to feel bad about saying “no” to something. You are not entitled or obligated to sticking around waiting for things to change just because you are presently found in it, even though you desperately, earnestly want to escape it.

What has given itself to you may be blind to your needs, but you are not blind to your purpose. That is why you are uncomfortable, because you can see clear as day that what you have is not what you want, or meant for you.

Through all of this there is not a single moment where you are actually “wasting time”. All of the things you feel mean something; they are all messengers of what you want to see.. what you need to see.

Take a look at the kind of people that use this phrase “wasting time” and actually believe in saying that. Think about the journey from where they started for you to meet them. They come all the way from where they are, to meet you, to be present, just to tell YOU that “this” is a “waste of time”? 

What is “this” that was wasted? What were they present for?

And then, watch how they hurry out to leave, where are they really going? 

I can tell you the answer because they tell me and everyone else that is around to hear it: they are going to waste their time somewhere else.

So do not worry about wasting time. If you’ve found this message, let this be reassurance that you “drifting” on social media is not “wasting time”. 
You wandering aimlessly outside for hours, feeling lost is not “wasting time”. 
You studying for more than 10+ hours is not “wasting time”.
You not having a social life is not “wasting time”.
You partying every weekend is not “wasting time”.
You thinking about time is not “wasting time”.
You sleeping all day is not “wasting time”.
You talking for hours is not “wasting time”.
You doing nothing is not “wasting time”.

No time is wasted until you tell the world that time is being wasted.
Act like you are wasting time, and that is when you introduce yourself to a hard life.

You will have an even harder life if you keep up an attitude of “wasting time” all the way up until the point you actually say to people and yourself that you are “wasting time”. That is when you start going nowhere.

Nevertheless you are here, reading this message.
So know that when it comes to time, keep to Mind this one thing:

Time is already yours. 
Time is on YOUR side.
You are time.

So be on time.
