How will we ever know where we’re going if we don’t take time to stop to think about where we’re going? We may think we’re moving fast, when, in reality, we’re running in circles. Set time aside to reflect, think, and wonder. You may discover new destinations.

Think About It
There are 24 hours in a day comprised of 1440 minutes and 86400 seconds. Each person on our planet has the exact same amount of time. Time doesn’t classify by wealth, place of birth, or religious belief. How we use our time writes the story of our life. Each 24 hours is a chapter. One page (an hour) doesn’t make a day, there are still 23 hours remaining. We often give the negative experience power well beyond the time of its existence. If we isolate a negative experience to the one hour of its existence we can tell ourselves, “I’ve still got time to make it a great day.” Yes we do. Take control of your time.
A Better Life ~ The Gift of Time
When we help another we’re giving our time as a free gift. It is also a gift that we receive since it takes us out of our game and self-centeredness. We become more other centered through our offering to time. It’s a wonderful gift and often doesn’t cost more than the offer of time.
A Better Life – Learning is Part of our Human Nature
One of the joys of being human is that we can continue to learn and apply what we’ve learned to life. We can learn from our setbacks to set us up for success. We can learn by asking the right questions and seeking answers to those questions. We can learn by developing a curious nature. We can learn at all times, in all places, and in every circumstance.
Today’s Poem ~ Time Is
Time Is
Henry Van Dyke
Time is
Too Slow for those who Wait,
Too Swift for those who Fear,
Too Long for those who Grieve,
Too Short for those who Rejoice;
But for those who Love,
Time is not.
Too Slow for those who Wait,
Too Swift for those who Fear,
Too Long for those who Grieve,
Too Short for those who Rejoice;
But for those who Love,
Time is not.
A Better Life ~ Don’t Let Time Slip Away
Don’t let time slip away. Tell those close to you, you love them. Call your parents tell them thank you for all they’ve done for you. Reconcile with a family member over past grievances. Before you know it, time will have slipped away. The chance to connect will no longer exist. You won’t regret it. Don’t let time slip away.
Power Tip ~ Dream On!
What would happen if you doubted your fears instead of your dreams?
Dream on.
Now’s the time. It’s your moment. Don’t let it slip away.
A Better Life ~ Enjoy the Ride
It’s time to wake up. Your best days are in front of you. You’re not too old or too you young. You’re in the right place and it’s the right time. Your time is now. C’mon punch your ticket. You’re going to have a great ride.
Something to Think About
There is a time to speak. There is a time to listen. There is a time to be present and do nothing more than be present. Wisdom is in knowing the difference.
Today’s Good Word – Take Time
Take time to let people cross in the parking lot.
Take time to call a loved one who hasn’t heard from you.
Take time to pray.
Take time to enjoy coffee or iced tea with a friend.
Take time to enjoy a meal and savor every bite.
Take time to look at the sunset.
Take time to be quiet and enjoy the silence.
