For young, we had fantasies. We could do anything and be anything. I remember growing up in a community where we all went to the same high school. So in the morning, you see the trucks in the farms coming in those with the yellow buses coming in from the farm area. And then, there was the wealthier family, you know that more of flowing families and middle class families. But everybody came in the same school, we all hang out together.
I remember talking with guys who I was buddies with, who lived on farms who believe on the tenth grade, eleventh grade, twelfth grade that they could do anything. And then right after graduation, all the fantasies about to what they can do ended because they realize now they had to grow and take their which was like their fathers place, their mothers place. So, everybody lost their fantasies. Reengage fantasies. Make it important again in your life. Believe in your fantasies so you can fulfill your fantasies.
Your stuff, no. You talk about getting rid of unnecessary stuff. Think of all the stuff that we have. Once we have stuff, we got to maintain it. What if we no longer want all the stuff we have got? Start looking at how much stuff you want to get rid off and do not reclutter your life. Unclutting your life is important about that.
Also, being an adventurer and explorer, when was the last time you did so many really required you to explore and be in adventure? Do things that where out the ordinary for you, bring back in that desire to reexploring and reexperience things. Be the adventure once again.
Your communication, where are you now and where would you like to be? What if because your religion or your culture, you where conditioned, if you are a woman, never to be affirmative. Always follow the men to speak. Always have them the last word but if you want it now then decide that your word also is important? Your feelings are important. Your life is important, and you want to communicate that.
A lot of disease at one level in one instance occurs because we do not tell people what we really feel and so it eats us up inside, have you experienced that? You see something that is not right, yet you kind of bury it and you do not say anything? Well, say it. Do not be afraid of it. That is how communication. And lastly your quality time, quality time, people ask me how do I get so much done?
Oh, was that your responsibility, social, worldly, personal, friends and work are your responsibilities, social, worldly, personal, work and friends. The one of the reason I get a lot done is because I do not waste time. if I am doing nothing, if I am going for a walk from my home on the upper west side to Soho downtown in Manhattan to do nothing except just kind of enjoy the walk and say hello to people, that is quality nothing time. But I do not waste it.
I will sit instead and just watch mindless television or just talk about nothing on the telephone. So, when you start to organize a day where what you are not going to allow anymore, if you put a little stop watch in front of your telephone, I have found that every conversation I need to have I can have in four minutes.
All right! Four minutes!
So, I tell people when they call, I only have got four minutes. And then, they will get right to what they want to say. Instead of, “hi, hi, what is up? Aha, yeah, well, okay, yeah, alright, let us see how long we can stretch, yeah, out”. They never say anything, let us get to the point, say what we have to say in a reasonable way, reasonable time, and then shut up, right?
The average of American spends about two and a half hours a day in mindless conversation. That is a lot of time you could use. Then, hours in front of a television, more time you wasted. So, than doing other peoples responsibilities that they should get from themselves more time wasted. Then, working hard to do what you should at your work. More time waste.
So, you waste ten hours a day. You can take that time back and make it meaningful in your life. All right so, that today’s class I look forward seeing next time.
