Stop Wasting Time

in #life6 years ago

The one commodity that is most valuable on this earth is time, time to love time, to live, from the moment the human body is born, it begins dying. Some happen faster, some happens slower, some of us don't have to go faster, some of them prevent it from happening so than later. How many seconds, how many minutes, do we waste every day? doing things that are, nowhere near the goals, aspirations, and passions that we have inside.

How many times do you go through the course of a day and realize, did I do anything I set out to do today? Write down those goals each and every day, no matter there's two goals a day, if you can accomplish those, then you're doing more than just making it do today. You are living and achieving your dream, find time to make yourself better. Read, explore, research, live life, do things you've never thought of doing before, that's what it's all about.

When you're born, that's that date that they put on the left side of the tombstone. When you die, they put another date on the right side of the tombstone, but that dash (-) in the middle, is the most important thing on that tombstone. That is a line that throughout that entire time frame, you were able to impact and touch others lives. You were able to leave your mark on this earth, you were able to feel the legacy that nobody could change, you were able to have it to where people remember who you are no matter what.

When you're living for that dash (-) in the middle, you're going to remember your why, you're why while you're here, not the why I wanted to do something, your why, your reason for getting up in the morning, your reason for pushing yourself past the brink of exertion and give it up, your reason for moving on and getting things done in life, that dash (-) in the middle, that's the thing that pushes you, how do you rate yourself on a scale of one to ten?

In terms of your physical appearance? In terms of your health? Do you take care of yourself? Are you allowing yourself to get overweight and out of shape? Are you conscious of your health? Are you watching the food that you take into your body? Do you make a deliberate effort to exercise?

You know it was George Burns that said, we cannot help getting older but we don't have to get old, and many of us get over for our time because we don't take time to take care of ourselves. Your environment is a very good indicator, on a scale of one to ten, it isn't what you want it to be, do you find it desirable are you satisfying? The job a career that you're involved? Some said that 85% of the public is unhappy with their job. Are you spending eight hours just doing time?

Doing something that you don't find challenging that does not make you stretch mentally, that does not stimulate you, that does not inspire you, something that you don't find a sense of fulfillment in it, if you're doing that day in and day out, it has to affect how you feel about yourself, your level of motivation, your relationships, what kind of impact is that having on your life? Is it nourishing, or is it your toxic relationship, does that drain you? Or does it build you up? Ask yourself that.

How motivated are you to do something about it, your contribution, your actions, what are you giving? Many people will leave the universe without a trace, no one will know they were here, and in fact under their name, we could put under they're not used up. Will anybody know that you came this way? What contribution are you giving? What will be different?

Because you came this way, just stop for a second, write down your "why". What are you doing in life? If your "why", doesn't make you cry, that's not your "why". Your "why" should be something so big that it proves your family tree, your "why" should be something so big that it changes the whole outlook on how things are with you and your home, your family, your religion, your purpose.

Think about your passion, think about your opportunity and that's how you find your purpose. When that "why" meets up with your passion, your opportunity, your purpose, then you'll find out, the most important day in your life, is the day you remember why you were born.

But please sir do find time to sleep! Dont let all that winning prevent you from sleeping!

I will sir, I'm also giving my self some time to rest. Thank you so much.

I totally agree with you. Before I wasted of my time for nothing, I didn't get anything. Now I am setting my habbit of reading books, it's very useful for me

This was a great post. I recently had a pretty big medical scare and it has taught me to focus on that dash in the middle like you were talking about. It is so easy to just exist and not actually live. We need to do more living!
