Happiness & High Self-esteem Choice # 8: Organizational Choice

I choose to work within the time
frame I’m given without being
stressed or rushed.

Thought

Time is the master of life. You cannot speed it up or slow it down. It controls you; you cannot control it. The only thing you can control is your ability to work within its boundaries.

Experience alone will teach you what you can and cannot do in a certain amount of time. If you crowd as many things as possible into every day, you will most likely end up feeling anxious and completely overwhelmed. However, if you do nothing each day, you will feel unfulfilled and depressed.

 The key to success is balance. By being realistic about what needs to be done, you will feel organized and relaxed as you complete commitments on time. As you choose to carefully guide your own life and take care of your most important priorities first, your happiness and self-esteem increases.

Scripture

And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things.

—1 Corinthians 9:25

Quote

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.

—Anne Frank
