Precious time

What is maybe the most precious thing we have in life? It might be the simplest thing that we often take for granted; Time.

Time gives us space to grow in so many ways. Our body matures and our mind develops and we get new ideas about life as time goes by. We watch our friends change, our children grow, and our parents mature. Time seems to give us so much and at the same time take so much away from us. Because every valuable moment indicates that there is less time left, the more you get to know someone the less time you have left with them (at least in this lifetime). We never know how much time we have, just what the average person has. So why not use the time we have for what’s important to us. Sit down and consider what is really important to you.

How are you spending your time?

How would you like to spend your time?

Are you spending your time on what you would love to do? If you are then perhaps you don’t need to read any further, just continue enjoying life. But if you don´t spend your time doing what you would like to be doing or not enough time anyway, consider this.

Ask yourself a simple question: What are the things I don´t like doing, but still take up my time? Unfulfilling job, school, chores or friends I don´t really like?

Then you need to ask yourself: Are these things benefitting me?

· Am I working hard to get the raise I want and then the job will be more exciting?

· Am I studying to get the degree I want for a job I look forward to?,

· Are these chores something that make me feel good afterwards for example to take the trash out, clean the floors and wash the dishes?

If you don´t feel that you get any benefits or that the benefits are just to small, then take time to consider if you should make a change.

Remember that you ALWAYS have a choice, you can choose to stay where you are or move on and make a change. You don´t have the power to change others or the environment. But you have the amazing power to change yourself (and sometimes your surrounding change with you).

It´s not about every moment beeing fun and exiting and if not just skip what your doing. A good marriage/relationship can have it´s ups and downs but they would not have liked to miss a moment and the hard times might have made the couple stand together and the love stronger. Sometimes it´s the hard times that make the best memories.

The key issue is maybe that love is often measured in time. For your children the time you have together is the same as love, not the big toys to make up for lost time. The same goes for your spouce, friends and parents.

It´s your responsibility to spend your time right, the way you consider being right. If you’re not doing what you love the most, then at least do something that’s worth doing.

Make the most of your time use it where it counts don’t waste it.
