Here are some ideas from GenuLines on how to become master your time.
Often the most important lessons you learn are outside of the classroom? And they can double as stories you tell again and again throughout your life.
Today via GenuLines I share one of those with you.
Your daily routine can be so hum-drum that you don’t even notice. This can leave you feeling that you’re sort of stuck in “neutral.”
Get your life back in high gear with this GenuLines look at how you can get back up to speed,
Money is at the center of so many of our problems. Too many to mention here.

Motivation is great- when you have it. But sometimes it slips away like the proverbial thief in the night.

Life has a way of knocking you to your knees. And tough times just seem to keep the bad stuff coming.
But GenuLines wants you to remember that a thought-out response can protect you from action you’ll regret.
There are times when an immediate reaction is appropriate, such as the loss of someone close to you. You’re not going to make a situation like that positive.
When life is hard we tend to look outside ourselves for reasons. We don’t want to think the cause is a lot closer to home.
As always, GenuLines helps re-direct you back to your “self” as a start toward getting your bearings.
Every day brings us a million things to take care of and it’s easy to fall behind. But sometimes life is hard because we’re making it that way.
One reason we make it harder is that we want to feel like we have some control. Let’s look at some ways you might be getting in your own way.
Most of the time people don’t mean to inconvenience you or make your life harder. Could be the person who cut you off in traffic was in a hurry.
Your significant other was quiet this morning. It may have been due to fatigue rather than anything you did.
If we decide the world is out to get us, we make life harder than it has to be. Be very slow to assume malicious intent.
It usually leaves you angry and unpleasant. The truth behind someone’s intentions is usually far from malicious.
And often not personal at all.
One thing we can control about life is our expectations. That doesn’t mean that we should go through life expecting and getting nothing.
Instead don’t expect the glass to be half full, half empty, or even a little full. Be grateful that it contains any wine at all!
Avoiding risk is part of human nature. We don’t want to run into danger unless we know we can get out of it.
But our bubble of comfort can often become a prison. Risking social rejection, loss of money, and loss of time is a trade-off for making our lives better.
When we spend most of our time avoiding risks, we make life harder.
Make sure you take smart risks! Think of an area in your life you’d like to expand upon and set some short terms goals.
Once you’ve challenged yourself and become comfortable again, set some higher goals!
One negative feature about social media is that it enables us to compare ourselves to others. Even worse, we compare ourselves to others in only their best moments.
Your friends may not have it as good as they’d like you to think. There will always be someone with more money, more friends, or whatever else than you.
The only person you should compare yourself to is the version of you from the past.
In short, we need to worry less about others, less about risks, and maintain our expectations. Don’t spend your life trying to be other people.
Or thinking the world is out to get you. Or afraid to take a chance.
Don’t expect things to get better without changing your actions. That sets you up for failure.
Stop making life harder!
