One Damned Thing After Another

ByMatthew

More genius from a mentor of mine, Steve Chandler:

All fear comes from picturing the future. Putting things off increases that fear. Soon we are nothing but heavy minds weighing down on weary brains. Too much future will do that. Only a warrior’s approach will solve this. A warrior takes his sword to the future.

Don’t try to manage linear time. Linear time starts with your birth and ends (at the end of the line) with your death.

Along that long linear line it’s just one damned thing after another. Then the lights go out. What was the point?

Non-linear time management stops all that weary nonsensical treading on the road to one’s destiny. Rather than worming along horizontally you will simply rise up. Your life can now become vertical. Now you won’t postpone challenges, you’ll rise to them. You’ll become a time warrior.

What will you rise to?

What in your life calls for the warrior in you?
