While the world is on pause, we have the luxury of Time.
Time for yourself.
What have you done with your valuable time in the past?
If you look back over your life, how much time have you had just for you and how much or your time have you squandered by being busy, with petty pursuits, with day to day irrelevance, distractions and entertainment?
How much time have you merely existed, rather than really lived?
As we are released from the demands of the day to day hamster wheel, we now have time.
If we allow ourselves to calm down and slow down, we are able to draw a breath and to taste the sweetness of life and the freedom.
As we stop being driven by external demands and obligations, we begin to taste the power we have over our thinking and our actions.
Learn, Think, Re-strategise
The great people of the world are using this time to learn, think and re-strategise.
To create, to innovate and to execute.
This is a time to invest into expanding your knowledge through learning and self improvement. Time invested into yourself is kept forever. Any personal growth sets your life on a new trajectory.
How sure are you of your purpose?
How do you want to live your life?
New information into the mind provides fresh perspectives and an ability to look at life differently.
It is difficult to know how the future will turn out if you solely rely on your own past thinking.
Now is a time for you to cultivate your mind, fuel yourself with ideas, plant seeds and to rise to your best.
Invest in Self Education
Limit entertainment and invest this time in self education.
“We cannot gain knowledge, we can only expose ourselves to new ideas and new ways of thinking to unlock the wisdom that already exists within us”.
Be the champion of your own life.
Grow yourself, unlock your wisdom, take massive action.
There is a world of information out there. Open your browser and start growing yourself and expanding your mind.
A great essay we read recently, by Seneca, a Roman Philosopher on “The Shortness of Life” provides food for thought. You can find this on youtube or by searching google. Enjoy !

Thank you Sally, a refreshing read right there! I like the part where you spoke of not wasting time on entertainment but rather investing time in personal development. I’m taking this time to compile articles for my blog, a handbook or two and work on my other book.
I treasure the nuggets I learnt from you and Brendan in 2013 at the “Ignite Your Business Workshop” those trainings are on point! Thank you once again and keep up the great work👌👌👌
