Make your Time Count
No matter who you are, where you live, how much money you have or what you do in your spare time, we each have an account that we are continually making withdrawals from and cannot make deposits.
Everyone in the world has a finite, fixed sum in this account, and still, most waste a significant portion of the capital available. Time is the currency in this account, and you are spending it with every minute of your existence.
The question you always have to ask yourself is, “Am I spending my investment wisely or not?” Here is something you already know: time will run out on you someday. Do your best to leave no unfinished business behind you.
Make your time What You Choose
Time is a concept developed to help us keep track of the days, it is entirely arbitrary as you can’t see it, touch it or feel it, but it is always with you. Each day is a block of time that you have the opportunity to mold into whatever you want.
There is a virtually unlimited possibility of thoughts and accomplishments that you can experience each day. You can decide to exercise, read, drive, bounce up and down mindlessly, or anything else you want to do.
If you choose to use your mind to think and your body to act, there is no telling what you might be able to accomplish in the hours you are awake.
Your Hour Glass is Running Out
If we all had hourglasses that showed us how much time we had left, would today have more meaning if you knew it was going to be one of your last?
Personal perspective always affects the way we experience time. I have spent days with people who I love that have passed like an instant.
Conversely, I have spent minutes with people I didn’t enjoy, which seemed like days. Either way, it was my perception of the moment that affected how the time felt to me.
Your perception of time is the same, and knowledge is all attitude. If you have to go to work, it is up to you whether you enjoy that time and it passes quickly or if it is drudgery and the hands of time move slowly.
If you knew that you had five days left to live, how much would you enjoy each morning? Would you ever hit the snooze button? Would you look at your hourglass and the ever emptying sand and think, just seven more minutes of sleep? I don’t think anybody would.
Today’s Time is all you Have
Time is one commodity that becomes more and more valuable every day. I know that as I move through life there is no guarantee about tomorrow and even if I get every tomorrow
coming, the game is at best half over, and realistically closer to the end than that.
That does not depress me or worry me too much because the end will come whether I stress out about it or not.
I feel that if I enjoy every day, then I am doing everything I can to make the most of the time I have. Most of us will not have a warning that the end is here; it will just be here. Your hourglass will run out, and the game will be over.
Time Challenge To You
So My challenge to you is to make your time count. You don’t have to cure cancer, or build a skyscraper, or do anything complicated at all. All I ask you to do is think about what you are doing, enjoy the experience, and choose to be happy about the day that you are living.
Every day that you are alive, you can decide to be happy. That is a challenge, but I think you will find it to be a good one. Because in the end, it is your choice of what great things you are going to accomplish and how happy you are.
