Time – What Do You Do With Yours?

"I have only just a minute,

Only sixty seconds in it,

Forced upon me, can't refuse it,

Didn't seek it, didn't choose it,

But it's up to me to use it,

I must suffer if I lose it,

Give account if I abuse it,

Just a tiny little minute but eternity is in it..."

I came upon this poem 36 years ago, and it has been an interesting signpost for me to measure my own time usage, and boy o' boy, have I wasted a lot of it... as we all have.

We waste it... we gift it... we give it away... we sacrifice it... but ultimately we place little importance to it... until it is too late.

Time in reality is the thing that was given to you as a true gift by your parents. their need to procreated (on purpose or by accident), created you and everybody else on the planet.

The time you have is so precious that it is the only commodity that you own which?cannot be bought, begged for, borrowed, or stolen.

You can steal another persons time, and you shouldn't allow that to happen to you, but it cannot and doesn't replenish your own allotment of time... in fact if you waste another persons time you are also wasting your own.

Here... I am going to share a thought on how to leverage your time and make the most of it... and let the opportunity we have together create better time usage, and less time wastage.

The first thing I'd like to ask you to do is...?STOP, PAUSE, TAKE A MOMENT.... and reflect on how YOU use your time.

A phrase I use a lot... goes like this.....

"For many things in your lives and your businesses, if you want to accelerate the processes, go faster and speed things up... often you will need to SLOW DOWN, to get the best value and create the best result."

It would be nice to be a "Time Lord" like Dr.Who... but you're not, so let's all look after this precious commodity and make the best use of it for ourselves and for others.
