You Have Just 86,400 seconds today
We sometimes talk about money as though there is nothing else that matters but there are far more important things than money. There is no limit on the amount of money in the world. Banks conjure up more all the time and we have seen the downside to that in recent months but they can produce more as and when they want to.
Some things are more real and more limited. There is only so much oil in the world and one day there will be no more gold to dig out of the ground but for now there is enough to go around.
There is one very valuable resource with a very limited availablity – Time. Time may go on for ever but your time is limited. You have just 86,400 seconds every day and nobody knows how many days you or I have. Your time is the most valuable commodity avaialable in the world today. Certainly the most valuable commodity in the world as we know it. So, are you making the best use of it? Are you investing your time wisely?
The richest billionaire has just 86,400 seconds every day as has the poorest man on the planet. We are all equal when it comes to time but some make more efficient use of it than others. You can spend some time today which may save you wasting time tomorrow or you can buy the time of somebody else.
Most of us work to earn the money we need to live. We need the money so we spend our limited time travelling to work, working for hours and then travelling home again. We spend time shopping for food and other goods and spend time planning for the future but are we making the best use of our time?
Only you can know the answer to that question. If you think that working eight hours a day so you can buy new tv to watch reality shows on it is worthwhile then so be it. Only you can be the judge of that. Take some time, a few more of those precious seconds, and think about it.
There is a famous saying that, ‘Nobody lays on their deathbed wishing they had spent more time in the office.’ Will anybody wish they had watched more reality tv shows or spent more time shopping?
We all have different interests in life. We all see things differently and our priorities in life are different but the one thing we share is a limited amount of time each day. However much money you have, no matter how many toys and gadgets you possess you have the same 86,400 seconds every day. Are you making good use of every one of them? You will never get a single one of those seconds back and once they are gone, they are really gone.
Make every second of your life a second that was worthwhile and invest your time in what really matters to you.
