Inspiration Wants Your Time and Attention

Being an entpreprenuer gives both freedom and responsibility. I am free to use my time toward personal activities, business development, spiritual reflections or procrastination. It’s all my choice. 

As I become more successful and my responsibilities increase. And when the expectations of others increase — only the loudest voices get heard. (Up until a personal crisis, my own voice rarely makes a sound) Time and attention need to be managed inline with our values and goals — not based on survival or responding to the urgencies of others.

To today, I’m not making excuses but giving myself permission to work on the projects and activities that align with my priorities. I don’t think my world will collapse if my phone and email remain shut for three or four hours. As a matter of fact, after giving it a little attention – my inner world will probably begin to come alive.

Just giving ourselves adequate time will help nurture our dreams and passions to come back alive. I think it’s easier to manage time than inspiration or motivation. We might wait weeks or months for inspiration to force us out of our normal routine. But all inspiration wanted was some time and attention.
