Time and Energy

Is it just ME, or are you, too, curious about the best use of your time and energy?

Somewhat a mathematical soul, I often “break-it-down” so as to analyze: time and energy are a great example.

Most things perceived to  be of significant value in one’s life make that person willing to devote significant time and energy in that direction.  Another, with indefinably less interest in the same area would not so willing to make the same investment.  Makes sense!

On that point, let’s agree to agree, shall we?

Now, let’s look at time and energy as components of an equation (back to the math!).  Here’s how I see it:

Time + Energy = Outcome

How much time; how much energy?

What type of time; what type of energy?

Therein lies the difference; therein lies the difference in the type of outcome you should expect to have; that you deserve to have.

I recall an early M-W-F class as a college Sophomore:  Management Information Systems (MIS).  Aside from not always getting to that class on time, the Professor was, well – boring!

I remember sitting in that class, still wiping sleep from my eyes wondering how MIS was going to impact my life?  Why had I chosen this course – and at 8am?

All these years later, I look back and realize how often MIS pops into my life and yours, I am quite sure, even if you are not aware of it.  WOW, what could have been had the class been at 10 or 11!  Basically, it’s input = output.  (MATH!)

And so it goes in life…we get out of it what we put into it – at least in the overwhelming percentages of cases.

Let’s get back to my Time + Energy = Outcome equation.

Granted, we all dreams; we should; we must.  For in that thought pattern, in that visualization, is the genesis of an invention; it starts as a thought.  Taking TIME to develop thoughts is what makes dreams come true; and they really, really can!!

Now comes the ENERGY…taking a lifetime to think about something will never make it come true; you must give it some energy (action) for a thought to develop, for a dream to become reality.

That brings us to OUTCOME.

Q and A about to begin…..

How much time are you willing to invest in YOU and YOUR dream?

How will you know when it’s enough time?

How much work are you willing to do?

How much work are you not willing to do or pass on to others?

What outcome are you hoping for?

What sacrifices are you willing to make to achieve desired outcome?

What outcome are you willing to live with?

Let’s be clear…you get to choose…you always get to choose.  BUT, you

must be willing to live with the choices you make; you must be willing to accept the outcome you get based on those choices.    Fair?    Fair!

If I may, may I strongly suggest that you know what it is you want – and, by all means, dare to dream big!  Then determine what you want the result to be…I know, I know…I jumped from the Alpha to the Omega.

That’s it!  Know what you want from the beginning of the thought to the actualization of it and be willing to take the TIME and ENERGY required – by YOU – to connect those dots to achieve the desired outcome.

MIS, in a nutshell …

Bad Input: perhaps not enough time and/or the wrong energy (negativity) = Bad Output: disappointing outcome

Good input: sufficient, well-spent time and positive energy 

= Good Output: satisfying outcome.

Again, you choose, so choose wisely, for TIME is Fleeting and, on day, each of us will all run out of ENERGY;  it’s what we do between here and there that will make all the difference.

So, IS it just me, or are you, too suddenly remembering all those courses and classes of yesteryear you thought you would never  need?

8 am; what was I thinking?

Anyway, thanks for taking the

time and energy to read my blog!
