My awesome power

There is an old spanish proverb that says
Habits are first cobwebs, then cables.

As they get stronger, habits can certainly trap you and be very hard to break. But habits are also who you are. They are your personality and your skills.
Another analogy would be...
Habits are first pathways in the woods, then superhighways.

Our neural system, the holder of our habits, is plastic. It is always being reshaped by what we do. It is fun for me to realize that, by having the patience and persistence to form new habits, I can constantly reshape who I am.
What an awesome power!

Time; friend or foe?

We have a love/hate relationship with time. Each life is given such a tiny piece if time that we hardly get a chance to learn how to make friends with it.

Time is the most powerful thing in the universe.
It can work for you and/or it can work against you.
Its most powerful attribute?: Time is relentless; it just keeps on happening.

Our lives are so short that we keep chopping time into little pieces so we can get a lot done. We tend to under appreciate the other way of getting a lot done... As long as time keeps happening, set it up to work for you more than against you.

I'm trying to learn how to prioritize things in my life to help make time more friend than enemy.
A lot of it starts to sound like good old fashioned advice that we love to ignore...
Never pay interest
Have others paying interest to you
Don't be impatient about buying stuff
Reduce situations where things are decaying, rotting, or any other situation where things constantly get worse.
(A stitch in time saves nine)
Create more situations where things are drying, curing, ripening, soaking, or whatever makes things better.
Build my capital by setting things up so that time creates food, energy, comfort and friends.
