There are two statements in the English language, which are common to all of us.

I've said them, you've said them, people all around us on a daily basis use these two statements. But I believe that if you really

want to make progress in your life, you need to recognize how damaging these two statements

are and eradicate them from your life.

I challenge you to eliminate these two phrases from your vocabulary.

Phrase number one, I don't have time.

Phrase number two, I can't afford that.

Time and money are alternate forms of currency. We use time to make money most of us and then we use money to buy time. So they're closely related. The more impactful of these, by the way, I believe, is not the basis of money, but rather the factor of time.

One of the most damaging phrases that you can use in your life is,

I don't have time.

Two reasons why you should eliminate this phrase and also the phrase I can't afford that.

Number one, these two phrases are simply not true.

They're never true.

Now, They're never true. Now obviously that's a big statement. Do you doubt me? First you

can't actually have time. Time is not something that you possess. Time is an experience that you have. It's a bit of a mystery. The philosophers work to pull it apart and try to understand it.

It's one of those things that we experience and you know

know exactly what time is until you sit down with a pen and paper and try to

actually write out a definition of time.

But you don't have more or less time than anybody else. You have the same one

one hundred and sixty-eight hours in your week that I do in my week. You have the same 24 hours in your day that I do in my day.

And we have the same amount of time as every other person in the world.

So you can't have time.
