The Importance Of Time.

The Importance Of Time:“What’s the biggest mistake you have made in life?”

“The biggest mistake is you think you have enough time in life.” The Buddha replied.

Importance Of Time, Meaning And Value Of The Time In Everyone'S Life.

The time is free but it is priceless. We can’t own it, but we can use it and this is the point. We can’t keep it, but we can spend it and it is the best point. And once it’s lost we can never get it back. The average person lives 78 years. We spend 28.3 years of our life sleeping. That is almost one third of our life but 30% of us struggle to sleep well. People spend 10.5 years of our life working but over 50% of us want to leave their current jobs.

Time is more valuable than money. You can get more time, but you can never get more time. We spend 10 years on T.V. and social media.  We 6 years doing chores we spend 4 years eating and drinking. We spend 3.5 years in education. We spend 2.5 years grooming. We spend 2.5 years shopping. We spend 1.5 years in child care. We spend 1.5 years in commuting. That leaves us 9 years.

How will we spend that time? Once Steve Jobs said “our time is limited so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” There is good news and there is bad news for us. That bad news is time flies, the good news is you’re the polite. Imagine you wake up everyday with $86,400 in your bank account and the end of the night it’s all gone whether you spent it or not. And then the next day you get another $86,400. What would you do with it? 86,400 seconds are deposited into your life account every day. At the end of the day once they’re all used up and you get a new 86,400 seconds to spend. We would never west it if it was money, so why do we west it comes to time? Those seconds are so much more powerful than dollars because you can always make more dollars, but you cannot always make more time.

To realize the value of one year, ask a student who failed a in his final exam. To realize the value of one year month ask a mother who lost their baby in the final month. To realize the value of 1 week, ask an editor of an online magazine. To realize the value of 1 hour, ask the couple who’s in a long time distance relationship. To realize the value of 1 minute, asked the person who missed a bus or train or plane. To realize the value of 1 second, asked the person who just missed the accident. To realize the value of 1 millisecond, ask the person who just came 2^nd at the Olympics games.

We think its people wasting our time but it’s really us giving them the permeation to do that. And the reality, these 2 people live inside us. Some of us lose the people most important to us because we don’t value there time. Many of us don’t recognize how important someone is to us until they’re gone. Inside all of us are 3 voices- 1 voice that wants to uplift, 2 wants to expand.

And another Voice is that want us to grow. And there is other voice, the voice that holds us BACK. The voice that makes us lazy. The voice makes us complacent. The voice that restricts us from our potential. Every day the moment we wake up until the moment we go to sleep, inside of us there’s this battle between the two voices. And guess which one wins? The one that we listen to the most. The one that we feed. The one that we amplify. It is our choice of how we use our time in life.

Life and time are the best two teachers. Life teaches us how to make good use of time. And time teaches us the value of life.

“And William Shakespeare said, time is very slow those who want, very fast those who scalped, very long those who are sad, very short those who are celebrate but for those who love, time is internal.”
