Everyone gets 24 hours in a day, nothing more, nothing less. It’s what people do with that time that makes the difference. Do you ever wonder why some people in life can achieve so much and others are left clueless as to how they did it? They assume high achievers never have to pay bills, go shopping, run errands, etc..
