- I'm really busy but I still make time to watch TV.
- I'm really busy but I still make time to blog 5 days a week.
- I'm really busy but I still make time to read the Bible.
- I'm really busy but I still make time to hang out with my wife.
- I'm really busy but I still make time to hang out with my closest friends.
There are some things that I don't make time for, but it's not because I don't have time it's because I don't make time to do those things. They are not the priority in my life so I don't do them. The truth is that you make time to do what's important to you. Maybe it's Facebook, reading the Bible, playing video games, spending time with family, going to church, or investing in people, but we all make time for things that are a priority to us.
Your distinction is true for a lot of us. Important difference between having time and making time.
ReplyDeleteMe and Billy talk about this all the time. It's definitely true that people make time for what's important to them. Good post, good reminder!
ReplyDeleteMerrick's new favorite phrase is, "I'm busy."

I didn't see going to the gym on your list of things you make time for...hmmm...
ReplyDeleteSo true about making time. However, it is easier to make time for things that don't take much effort (i.e. watching TV).
