too much? too little? or the same?
Ever had so many things going on at one time that your head is spinning like Michelle Qwan on a merry-go-round with an inner ear infection? That's how I feel right now. So much to do, so little time which brings me to a thought today.
I was thinking that birth, time and death are the true equalizers of mankind. We are all born into the world with nothing, we all have the same amount of hours in a day to make an impact, and we will all die someday. What makes us each unique is this:
How do we spend or, rather, invest the time in between birth and life?
How much do you plan, maximize and demand of your time? Do you value each moment like precious gold or do you waste it like a incumbent Senator with surplus tax dollars?
No matter how poor or weathly you may be, the most valuable asset you have next to your life and those you love is your time. In fact, you have just as many hours, minutes and seconds during the day as the richest people in the world. Everybody is given a finite amount. 24 hours or 1,440 minutes each day. Actually, let's break it down even more. You are assigned 86,400 seconds each day which is the same as everone else. What you do with your share of your time tells a great deal about where you have been, where you are, and where you are going.
I love the song that states like you should "live like you were dying". Truth is, you are dying in essence. Your time is running out and anyone with a basic grasp of ecomomics knows what happens to a commodity's value as it's demand goes up and it's supply goes down. (HINT: think gas prices!).
As more of your finite time is consumed each second, you have less and less left. Hers's a question. What can you do to better invest and budget rather than reckelssly spend your time?
