The Problem Is You Think You Have Time

I wanted to take a moment to thank Rachel and Dave for this episode of the podcast. I have been listening to Rachel and reading her books for some time now, and I am happy to say I have been using the Start Today journal since September 2019. The journal has allowed me to start every day with intention and gratitude. On 1/10/2019, I opened my journal like I do every day, but this day I had an awful feeling. I knew something was going to go wrong, but I didn’t know what. Even on one of my gratitude lines, I went off course and wrote: “Please give peace to those who lost someone yesterday.” Later that day, I found out my sister passed away suddenly in her sleep at age 45. It has been a challenging few weeks, but I knew I should still use the journal. I still opened my journal every day, but I couldn’t seem to write any of my goals down; it just didn’t seem as important anymore. I just kept on writing a crossed the top line, “Not today.”

Out of desperation to pick myself back up, I went to Rachel’s website, not sure what I was looking for, and I happened to see Monday’s podcast, “The Problem is You Think You Have Time.” I immediately started listening. I know this podcast was created due to recent news, but I found this information uplifting and gave me a little push to keep going on the goals I have for myself. Thank you, Rachel and Dave, for adding some much-needed gasoline to my fire.
