In just a couple of days we will be bringing in a New Year - 2010. It is amazing how quickly time goes by (the older you get). The older I get, the more I value time.
The reality is that time is our most precious asset that we have. As I visit with people that are dealing with life and death situations, it causes me to realize that time is precious to every person.
Think about this question: Would you rather save time or money? The average American focuses on money. But the reality is how you spend your time is much more important than how you spend your money.
Our priorities and values will determine what we do with our time. How many of us need to put time into perspective.
I read this in the book called "Today Matters" by John Maxwell. The following will help us to put time in perspective.
To know the value of one year...ask the student who failed the final exam.
To know the value of one month...ask the mother of a premature baby.
To know the value of one week...ask the editor of a weekly magazine.
To know the value of one day...ask the worker who has six children.
To know the value of one hour...ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To know the value of one minute...ask the person who missed their plane.
To know the value of one second...ask the person who survived the auto accident.
To know the value of one millisecond...ask the silver medalist in the race.
As we get ready to start a New Year let us make our time count for things that really matter for now and for eternity!
