I have had a few tyrants in my life. Some were old, others were young, some were easy to recognize, others tried to hide their intent to gain control over my life. I had to deal with difficult situations created by tyrants or where tyrants were at least involved.
Complicated situations where no tyrant is involved are pretty easy to deal with. However, when there are people involved you want to take away your power, who would love to gain control over your life, then these situations are more difficult to deal with.
We have to claim our power and our lives, if we want to deal with tyrants successfully. I will tell you how you can do this in my next free teleworkshop:
How can you turn a difficult situation into an open one? How can you speak and act in the presence of fear? What can you do if you see that someone else is treated unfairly?
How do you keep your voice calm and maintain your composure in difficult life situations? How do you speak out in difficult life situations? When should you ask others for support? Who should you ask for support? When is it better to stay silent?
My telephone workshop "Speaking Out in Difficult Life Situations" will be conducted on Wednesday, the 28th of October, at 3 p.m. EST. Please sign up for the workshop at http://andreaklee.wufoo.com/forms/workshop-signup/. You are welcome, and I will be glad to have you on the call!

Creating More Time Than Ever
Do you have the impression that you don't have enough time?
If your answer to this question is "yes," then you are not alone. I have suffered from the "not enough time" disease since I was a child. This is why I know exactly how it is and what it feels like.
Nonetheless, let's have a closer look at this feeling in people who do not have a bad disease and know that they don't have to live much longer. Let's limit our consideration to those who have an average or even high life expectancy. Why should someone like this believe that she or he doesn't have enough time?
The question is "For what reason or task do you need more time?"
There are people who are interested in almost everything. They have so many interests that they can't move in all the directions they'd like to. What is possible for them? Just like everybody else, they can do just one thing in each moment of their life, however, they could change their direction from time to time or choose to concentrate on their most important interests.
But what about those people who have just a few interests, or who have already made a choice for now? What if they still seem to not have sufficient time in their lives? Again we have to ask what is possible. For them as for anybody else it is possible to have a life full of activities that they love. If they lead their lives according to what they love doing, they enjoy their lives and will be able to look back with contentment when they have to leave the earth.
So what about those people who still don't have enough time?
The answer is very simple - they don't do what they love most of their time. They don't do what counts. Instead, they waste their energy on tasks that are not important to them.
How could they create more time and energy then?
Basically, these people should rethink their priorities. Are they leading a life that they love? Do they dedicate most of their time to what really counts to them? Do they have time for the people they love? I know personally how hard it is to make the shift and to create more time with meaning in your life. However, if you don't do it, who else will do it for you? If you suffer from the "not enough time disease," then rethink your values and priorities and organize your life according to them.
Nobody survives forever on this earth. However, we can create our best possible lives. It is easy to look back on a fulfilled life. Nonetheless, it would break our heart to see that we have wasted the precious time that we had.
ALWAYS KEEP THE END IN MIND.
There are certain things that you can do if you want to extend your precious lifetime, or if you would like to live your life more intensely:
· Practice awareness and attention, because then one second can be very long for you. Being able to recognize shorter time intervals will give you power over your own time.
· Take care of your health, and you will increase your lifetime. Prevention is better than getting sick.
· How to deal with tasks you don't love doing: Hire someone, barter, or limit the time that you spend on it.
· How to deal with little time stealers which suddenly show up: Deal with them immediately, delegate time stealers to someone else, or make an appointment with yourself to deal with them. Again limit the time that you will spend on them. Don't let piles of undone work eat up your energy.
