Why 7

**The Perception of Time and the Power of ‘No’** 

Time is a fascinating concept, isn’t it? It’s something we all share equally, yet our perception of it can vary greatly. 

Imagine this: the world was created in seven days by God. Yet, in today’s world, we struggle to build a highway in the same timeframe. How is that possible? The answer lies in perception. To an infinite being, seven days could be 700,000 years. We are the ones who defined a week as seven 24-hour periods. 

This brings us to an interesting thought: time is relative. Have you ever experienced the longest minute of your life while waiting for news at a hospital? Or the quickest day during an amazing vacation? It’s all about perception. 

Everyone has the same 60 seconds in a minute, 24 hours in a day, and 365 days in a year. The difference between those who feel stressed about time and those who glide through life is how they perceive and manage it. Consider the college student, stressed with no kids and a few courses, versus the single mom with three kids and three jobs who still finds time for her children. It’s all about perception and management. 

One powerful tool in managing time is the word “no.” It’s okay to say no to things that don’t serve you. If saying yes leads to resentment, it’s better to decline. This applies to both personal and business situations. Sometimes, saying no to a low-quality client allows you to focus on those who truly value your service. 

However, don’t fall into the trap of saying no to everything. Opportunities can be missed if you’re too quick to decline. Balance is key. If your team can’t handle your absence for a day or two, it might be time for coaching or hiring new staff. 

Ultimately, it’s about setting expectations and communicating effectively. Not everyone knows what you want unless you voice it. Whether it’s in your personal life or business, clear communication and the ability to say no can transform your perception of time and improve your overall well-being.
