What would you do with daily “deposits” of 86,400?
I’m not talking about money here… I’m talking about TIME. The one thing we all have the same amount of & once spent, can never get back.
86,400 is the number of seconds we get each and every day of our lives. We just got a new “deposit” this morning… life is not a movie where we get to have as many takes as needed to get it perfect.
What are we doing with our seconds? Do we get “second” chances & what makes the difference? It pretty much comes down to HOW we spend our time, and WHO we invest our time in.
Before Jack was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis he was driven to succeed, to “look” better than everyone else and prove all the people who ever doubted him, wrong! He worked hard and played hard. He would mow the lawn in 2 different directions so it looked like a baseball field, fertilize the heck out of it, because it had to be the best lawn in town & if the boys left 1 toy in the yard he would make sure to tell them about it. Life was about proving out worth instead of believing we were worthy.
Then came Sarcoidosis, a disease with a blessing & he started realizing that riding his motorcycle 180 mph & mowing the lawn every other day were not really all that important. If you come to our house now, you will see that the lawn needs some attention and the raft in the garage is much more family friendly that a Honda 1000 RR!
When we don’t know how many more seconds we have, the second chance becomes very REAL. We started living with intention. Spending our time and money on the 1 thing that really matters, relationships. Our kids became numero uno & we were finally grounded as a true family. After this learning we found nutrition that helped him recover and felt like this was his second chance at living life, helping people & doing something that matters. So I ask…
Do you invest any time in YOU? If not you should because your influence on this planet matters and if you are not realizing your fullest potential then the world is falling short of its’ fullest potential as well. You are important, what you have to offer is unique and matters. Take a little quiet time everyday to dream, listen, be, & make your destiny manifest! Spend time with those you love, inspire others to be greater than they would be without you in their lives.
Together we can change the world! Making it a better place than it would have been without us. Make your seconds count. Spend them wisely.
