Purposeful Punctuality
COMMITTING TO TIME
Punctuality is commitment and self-discipline combined. It's a key indicator for measuring our awareness of time, will to act on decisions and reliability to deliver. Saying what we mean and doing what we say, are the basic elements required to live a true and purposeful life.
Time commitment is our master – commanded from, delivered to and received through the medium of punctuality – self-mastery in a mirrored form. In this regard, we should trust punctuality as a positive attribute to follow and adhere to. The affirmations we receive, after committing to a set time, should be based on our integrity of thought. It encourages mindfulness and consideration. When we agree to a time, we make a conscious choice first and foremost – a shared statement and agreement within ourselves before we agree with others.
So, how important is punctuality – for how can we define a person that is always late...are they not the lowest character type – self-deceiver, an inconsiderate, untrustworthy and unreliable person – a liar to each and all?
“Punctuality is not about being on time — it is basically about respecting your own commitments.”Changing the way we perform, removing bad habits and replacing damaging behaviours with new beneficial ones, all stem from within. We are the masters of our own universe. We are the ones making the decisions. We are the ones getting up early in the morning, choosing what to eat, carrying out an exercise routine and planning out our day. We are also the reasons we fail, more often than not, by ignoring this very basic, but powerful indicator of time commitment, where honesty and integrity are expressed in their rawest configuration – Punctuality.
