Summary

This quote suggests that the idea of not having enough time to do something is often an excuse used to avoid taking action. It implies that people have the ability to prioritize and allocate time based on their choices, but often lack the motivation or determination to do so. Instead of blaming the constraints of time, the quote emphasizes that it is ultimately a question of personal willpower and the desire to make something a priority in one's life.
