Do you remember all those songs from the seventies and eighties that dealt with time? “Time in a bottle” by Jim Croce comes to mind first. We are obsessed with time. Most of us tell everyone we can about how busy we are and that we don’t have time. Yet time is a most precious commodity. It is especially important when we take time for our spouses, children, or family (relationship factor).
Jim Muncy says nothing is free, it all costs time. All of us have twenty-four hours. How we spend it determines the kind of trader we are. Time is always traded for something. Also, we can recapture wealth, health, and make new relationships, but once time has been squandered it is gone forever!
What is it you desire most in life? Don’t wait to pursue it. Live life as though tomorrow may not come. That is how important time becomes. When it is gone we say I wish I had taken the time, or that phone call wouldn’t have taken so long, or I always wanted to …. So what is holding you back from doing the things you’ve always wanted to do? Don’t let time be a factor. Our life is short on earth. Spend time wisely and it pays off. It pays off to have the time to use and develop your mind. It pays off to develop your health and fitness, your relationships and an income that sustains it.
There is no way to put a price tag on the opportunity to take my mother grocery shopping on a Tuesday at ten in the morning. No price tag can be placed on the opportunity to attend daily Mass or to have breakfast out during the weekday. My lifestyle has allowed me this time, and that readers is wealth to me!
