When someone tells you that he doesn't have time to call you, he's either lying or asleep 24 hours of the day. There is ALWAYS time. Its true that we all have the same 24 hours. Its also true that some of us are more busy than others with the things that make up our daily lives. Its also true that you can always find the time to do the things you do, especially things that, by their nature, don't take very long to do at all.
So the next time someone tells you that he doesn't have the time to call you, its probably because he doesn't want, and not because he can't. How hard can it be to make a 2 minute call to say hello, to ask about your health or day? Its not very hard at all.
I've been asked how i'm able to write something new everyday (well, almost) in my blog. Where do i find the time? Where do my thoughts come from? By the questions that i've been asked, its almost as though people are surprised that thinking actually takes time. That's not the case at all. We're actually thinking all the time, our minds are in constant motion. But what i've noticed is that its often difficult to be aware of our own thoughts.
The next time you see something interesting, ask yourself why that is, and make a conscious effort to remember your answer or your lack of one. Write it down if you have to. The next time someone says something to you that triggers your curiousity, don't just nod - talk to him about it. The next time you get angry or jealous or horny - pause and reflect about what this emotion means to you. Think, think, think. Don't let life flash by you without examination.
