The month of December rapidly escaped into the hands of
Father Time, as though each moment had more important things to do. I’m a
person who lives wholeheartedly in the present but to no avail, the sands of
the hourglass are cascading in full furies.
Time bears all, time heals all and time tells all. In
life and in all things, all you have to do is give it time. All in good time,
all on its own time and just in the nick of time. Those are clichés, you might
say. But all good clichés reveal what we believe to be mostly true.
What else is time? What value does 24 hours have to you?
Better yet, how do you value your time? What are you planning with your time in
2018?
Time is like money (time is not money, let us not insult
time) in that time is a resource. But unlike money, we don’t earn time. Time is
allotted to us in a series of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, years,
decades and so on. Time for all purposes is free. However, we can’t “make” more
time, we can’t win time or borrow time; once our time is spent, once that
second has passed, it’s gone forever.
Most people wouldn’t dream of wasting money, but what
about wasting time? What’s a waste of time? Have you been wasting your time?
Time impacts our mind, body and soul. Each second, that
can never again be regained, is part of the bigger time slots in which we
develop, grow and mature. How we decide to spend our time dictates what will
become of our mind, body and soul.
Time is directly connected to who you are and will be.
The journey of our lives is a story of what we do with our time. How we use and
make due of our time maps out how our time will be used in the future. What you
do or don’t do today, matters tomorrow.
You can’t escape time and time will end. Time is precious
and in the final hours it is said that the requests are not for more money,
more cars, and more houses but rather for more time.
What are you planning with your time in 2018? What
matters to you? What do you want to be? What do you want to accomplish? Who do
you want to spend your time with? Where is your time going?
Take the time to think about this today, because all you
have today is today.
