Another awesome video Paul.

I am sure guilty of wasting time doing MWA’s.

Very profound advice we all need to follow.

Thanks again for sharing your wisdom with us.

I love your prodfound comment, “This is life on lifes terms,” and the truth behind MWAs. It’s so easy to get seduced by them. Thanks for the wake up call!

Werner so great to see you-

I know that you are a man that takes life on life’s terms and your own terms-

Thanks so much for your insight.

Paul, that is the first video of yours I have watched. Thank you. I need to look at my low priority activities. I am an action taker.

Charles thanks so much for taking the time to watch the vid- If we all took the time to remove the MWA from our lives we would be transformed.

I really appreciate your comment-

Elaine,

Thanks for the honest comment.

You need to first understand and accept that MWA’s are getting
in the way of you accomplishing what is most important to you in your life. If money is a challenge you need to remove any MWA’s that are preventing you from conquering this challenge.

Being aware that a task is wasting your time and getting in your way is the first step.

Once you realize that Get Ceative- use your imagination- There are solutions that will not cost you additional money and will allow you to focus on resolving the challenge.

Your imagination is powerful :)

I think you’re right Paul and even if you’re wrong I’m still following your advice because it fits and it feels right inside, it goes with the grain and not against it. Thank you for the best affirmation I’ve heard this year!

Steve, I appreciate the comments-
At the end of the day you only have finite time to use.

You may have to get creative. Do whatever you must so that your time is spent on the thing that are important and bring you closer to your goals. Everything else is a waste :)

Hello, my life is kind of a financial mess right now. When you talk about minimum wage activities, that’s me right now. I work at Starbucks at minimum wage. I have a college degree. I couldn’t find work with my English degree, so I’ve spent the last year or so training to become a teacher. Truthfully, it’s not what I really want to do. What I really want to be is a writer.

The problem is, I have a wife and child, and I don’t think if I quit my job today that I would be able to make it without starving. My wife is frequently sick, so the time that would be spent writing if I quit anyway would probably go to watching my 2 year old son. During this time, most of my writing is for very cheap as a way to practice and promote myself, but it’s not money I can live on.

To me, I’m so close to my teaching degree, and it seems like a way out, a step in the right direction. Even as a temporary thing though, I would think that teaching is going to drain me of everything I have, and I’m afraid that I won’t become who I really want to be if I take my life in this direction. What do you think?

Casey,

I think that you think to much about what wont work. There have got to be thing in your life that are working. Focus on what is working so you can build on that.

Find out what want and create a plan to make it happen. Everyone has struggles you are not alone. Have a plan have some faith and maintain focus on what you want and it will happen if and only if you never never never give up.
