The Power of Prayer and other lessons in Time Management

I’ve been going to night school for the last few months. And it’s been a beast of time management for me. I’m sure it feels the same to my classmates. So for the last couple of months we had to fork over an additional night for our clinical experience. If we didn’t feel the time crunch before, we sure as hell felt that additional night taking its toll on us. Not so much the additional lack of sleep or the energy the clinicals in itself took away from us, but the even more limited time we have been able to take for ourselves. This being a holiday weekend gives us a first 4 day weekend with no obligations. It is such a reprieve for all of us. I can still hear the sigh of relief resonating in my ears as we were leaving class last night.

I had that brief moment of “ What am I going to do with myself with all these days off”. But of course there are oodles and oodles of things to do. All of us in my night class literally had to clean off a huge slab of time from our calendars, from our lives, to make room for attending night class for a year. And here is the key word. Making room for it. None of us really have the time and all that it takes to cram in night time classes while living out all the other things that are part of our lives. Yet we all chose to make the time.

Keep that in mind when you choose who and what you want to make time for. Making time for something or someone expresses how much value is placed on it. If someone shows you how little they value you by not making time for you, believe them. The only thing that should be of any concern to you is how much are you willing to invest in return to come to terms with that?

If in a troubled relationship with someone, pray for their happiness 5 minutes a day for 30 days. By then they'll either change - or you won't care…~Marianne Williamson
