Is time really our friend? Or, are we always fighting with it to accomplish what we want? Maybe the bigger question is…what we are filling our time with? After all, aren’t we the captains of our time? Isn’t it easy to say, “Tomorrow or the next day, I will do this ‘thing’ that is important to me”?
Have we ever looked backwards and noticed that time has come and gone for some of those things we wanted to do, things we will never get the opportunity to accomplish? I wanted to go camping more often with my oldest son and daughter. Now they are older and too busy—and I missed all those summer nights when we should have been sitting beside a fire, all because I was too busy with ’something.’
How do we stop this before it is too late for the next thing that is important? Maybe we should grade each event according to what we value as a priority.
Here is a great quote on time that I would like to share. “Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can’t buy more hours. Scientists can’t invent new minutes. And you can’t save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you’ve wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow.” — Denis Waitely.
Since we all have the same amount of minutes per day, let’s make them work for us!
