Time Is All We Have. To Waste Our Time Is to Waste Ourselves

RIP Aunty M

Time Is All We Have. To Waste Our Time Is to Waste Ourselves

Time is a limited resource, in that we don’t have a limitless supply of it.

As I say to my entrepreneurial clients, you will leave the business eventually. You will either sell it, give it away (go bust), or leave it in a box.

This is not a bad thing, by the way. Death, gives life meaning.

Having a deadline gets us taking action.

How useful would it be if we knew when that day was? Just like cars have a fuel gauge that tells us what’s left in the tank, if we had a countdown timer with a final date on it, we’d spend time wisely.

But just because we don’t know when this date is, why should we choose to waste time?

We lost a lovely family member in the recent heatwave. Lovely Aunty Margaret had severe breathing problems and it was not a shock that the heat was the final straw.

Although death is inevitable, it still has such an impact when it happens, as we remember the times that can no longer be enjoyed in person, only the memories of them.

So it’s these precious memories that matter, and we remember the times only when we were fully present. 

Make good memories. 

Enjoy life. 

Make each day count. 

Give your life meaning.

Be grateful for everything you possess, not because you have it, but because you can enjoy it.

Thank friends because they are in your life.

Cuddle your pet for being there.

Tell your partner that you love them.

Be kind to yourself.

Smile.

And have a great week. Learn heaps, love loads and then pass it on.
