Say it, “My Time, My Turn, My World!”

I saw this coffee cup at my local Hallmark. I absolutely went nuts! “YES! It IS MY Time, MY Turn and MY World! ” I shouted in the store, beaming. There were two mugs, one for me, one for my sister.

MY Time

I create my life. I used to say, “I’m negotiating with the guy above for more than 24 hours a day, but so far no deal” until someone said to me, “Marcy, God picked 24 hours because that is the correct amount of time.”

This IS my TIME! — Right now — not next year, not when this or that happens, but right now. It is my opportunity to manage myself. Time cannot be managed — I must manage my focus and protect myself from distractions and pettiness. I know what to do. It is MY Time to SHINE!

And it is your time too. Your time to be the BEST development professional you can be. You know what matters and don’t be bothered with the rest. Set up ‘task appointments’ in your calendar according to your most important work and stick to it. Meet with your givers in person, listen to them and serve them. You have enough time to do what is most important. And, you know when it is time to stop, go home and focus on your personal relationships.

MY Turn

This is it. Get rid of your “Yeah, buts.” It is YOUR Turn! You are enough just the way you are. It is your turn.

Get very clear about why you are doing what you are doing. What is the personal mission statement connecting you to the job? Where do you need to change your habits?

You are good enough. You know enough. Your cause is worthy enough and you know that when you are authentic in connecting with your givers the money, and big money, will follow. The givers, abundance, health, whatever you want is out there already. Be open to seeing the coincidences, surprises and serendipities that will transform you life. They already lie in wait. It is your turn. “Good luck” “lucky breaks” happen to people who are open to seeing them — it is your turn.

MY World

My world is not my work, my family, my health regime, my spirituality, my successes or my mistakes, or the money I make or raise —- it is ALL of this together. If your world is overwhelmed and stressed, you may think dealing with the little stuff will make it better, but this just puts off taking the time to view your WORLD and getting clear on what you want. Make a circle, put you in the middle of it and map out everything in your life… your world. Thoughtfully consider what each area would look like in a good (not perfect) relative (not every day) balance. Hang it up where you can see it and remember, it is YOUR World. Then give what you want for yourself to others and you will receive the same. Now. Say it, “My Time, My Turn, My World!”
