Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out the money, spend it, or give it away? Of course, you are not going to waste all of that money! Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 24 hours, 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute means your Time Bank gives you 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. If you fail to use the days deposits, the loss is yours. You must live in the present on todays’ deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success!
How are you spending your time? How much of your time do you spend helping and training others?
* Do you plant a flower for the entire world to enjoy?
* Teach someone a new skill?
* Read to an old person who no longer has sight well enough?
* Take a young person and be a mentor?
* Learn a new skill to share?
* Give your ear to someone who needs it?
* Give your shoulder to someone to cry on?
* What do you do with your time?
To realize the value of time,
* Ask a family in a hospice room.
* Think about how much you have wasted.
* Think about people you know who have been seeking employment for months.
* Talk with an elder whose time is running out.
Would you waste $86,400 on a daily basis? Why would you waste any of the 86,400 seconds you are given every day? Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time. Remember that time waits for no one.
