The Clock of Opportunity
We have learned how the number 10, a symbol of completeness and perfection, can be a transformative force in your mindset, career, home, relationships, and finances. Now, we turn our attention to one of your most valuable and non-renewable assets: your time. The perfect “place” to put the number 10 for this purpose isn’t a physical location, but a mental one. It is a conscious decision to see every block of time, whether it’s an hour, a day, or a week, as a completed whole—a container of ten parts. This intentional view of time transforms it from a relentless stream into a series of perfect, manageable opportunities.
Adopting a “10-part” view of your time gives you a powerful new lens through which to plan and act. It provides the “extra motivation” to manage your schedule with purpose and intention. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by a long to-do list, you can break your day into ten key activities, each one a step toward a larger goal. For example, if you have eight hours to work, you can mentally divide it into ten tasks, each taking about 48 minutes. This approach gives you the clarity to focus on one thing at a time, knowing that each completed part brings you closer to a complete and productive day. The number 10 becomes your personal guide to time management, helping you to achieve a sense of balance and accomplishment without feeling rushed or stressed.
The magic of 10 applied to your time also helps you cultivate a “new expectation of dreams coming to pass.” When you see your time as a perfect whole, you are less likely to waste it on distractions and more likely to invest it in activities that align with your deepest desires. You begin to anticipate and create opportunities instead of waiting for them to appear. This shift from a passive, reactive mindset to an active, intentional one is crucial for turning dreams into reality. The number 10 is your reminder that every moment is a chance to move forward, and that a perfectly managed series of moments will inevitably lead to a perfectly realized life. The final chapters of this book will show you how to pull all these concepts together into a comprehensive life plan.
