 Make
the Commitment to Writing: Create the Time
Not an Option
What a busy world we live in! Many people seem to be so frazzled
that they do not even have the time to breathe. One of the chief
complaints people make about book-writing is that although they
would love to write, they cannot imagine how they could possibly
fit it into their busy schedule.
I learned a valuable lesson about priorities when my eldest child
was only four years old. We started Suzuki piano lessons. In Suzuki,
one of the reasons they have such incredible success with very young
children is that they instruct the parents to make practising piano
or violin or cello a normal, non-optional part of each day, like
brushing teeth. Would you tell me that you do not have time to brush
your teeth, or do the dishes, or put gas in your car? We always
find the time to do the things that we consider important. Isn’t
it amazing how we find the time to do chores, but often treat the
things that we love to do as options? We also treat the things we
need to do to nourish our bodies and souls as options. How often
do people rush off to work and skip breakfast? They say they do
not have the time, but actually feel righteous because they think
they are watching their weight. Hmmm. How many people work right
through lunch?
