Time....Some thoughts

IN YOUR PURSUIT TO CONQUER EVERYTHING; MAKE SURE YOU DON'T ACCOMPLISH NOTHING!

Ask someone how they are doing and what they have been up to lately and I almost promise you will get a response of "Just Busy"or something to do with being busy.

Everyone is busy today. I get that. But here is what I don't get; what are most people really accomplishing? Something to give some thought to for you personally. You see, we all 24 hours per day. That is it. No more no less. The one thing that is equal in this world among all people, cultures, religions, politics, etc is time. So the amount of time per day we have is all equal and you have just as much time per day as President Lincoln or Albert Einstein had. Did you ever stop to think about that? Probably not; too busy to think!

But what is not equal is what gets done in those 24 hours. Some people get so much accomplished in 24 hours, you would think they have 72 hours in their day. Reverse is also true as there are so many people that don't get a single thing done day after day; week after week; month after month; and year after year. Those people, time burners, tend to also be the ones who always complain about how busy they are and how unfair the world is.

I am totally fascinated with time. It's so powerful but yet delicate. I will give you a good tip that I use and borrowed from Ben Franklin. It's on my cell phone and computer every day on my calender.

Morning:
What good are you going to do today?

Night:
What good did you do today?

Every morning and every night answer these two questions and you will get more done. As I said above, in your pursuit to achieve everything in this world, make sure you don't accomplish nothing. I see so many people just running around all day but don't get anything really done. Don't do that; your 24 hours are precious so treat each day very carefully!
