The Power of Time

Time is powerful; it depends on what you do with it. “Time goes so fast”, we say, but the reality is that time stays, we go! We spend eight hours at work, eight hours to sleep and we have eight hours left. What we do with the rest of the eight hours that is left is so crucial. Whether rich or poor, we all have the same number of hours and minutes everyday. Time does not discriminate. Rich people cant buy more hours, it is what you do with your time that matters. Time is not temporary, it is eternal. We are the temporary beings who live within the framework of time. I would encourage you today, make sure you make good use of your time and don’t waste it. Our lives are framed by time. If God permits and we live to a 100 years old, that means we have 4 quarters in our lives. Each quarter is equal to 25 years. How we spend the first and second quarter of our lives will determine the course of the rest of our lives. Each hour of our life is golden; don’t let your golden hour slip by without doing something valuable with it. Time is the coin of your life, don’t let others spend it for you, determine what you want to do with it, value it, cherish it, invest it and it will yield profits for you. Only you can determine how your coin will be spent, and remember it is the only coin you have, you cant save your time to spend it another day. If you want to be creative, start doing it now, if you want to be an artist, start practicing now, if you want to be a lawyer, start studying now, whatever you want to achieve or become in life depends on what you do with your time now. If you want to be a skilled musician, you will need many hours of practice. If those hours slip by and you don’t do anything, then you may not become anything. Be constructive with your time. As the hours slip by, so does our age. Time is eternal and ageless, we cannot slow it down, that is why you must start doing what you have to do now and not leave it till tomorrow. If you don’t watch carefully what you do with your time, it will slip away from you. Procrastination is the thief of time; don’t wait to do tomorrow what you could have done today. If you yield to time, you will find time on your side. Opportunity walks with time but repentance walks behind it, so make the best of every opportunity. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is yet to come, now is the time to invest so we do not regret tomorrow what we could have done with the time we had yesterday, for yesterday is no more. The grace is of time is that no matter what time you’ve wasted yesterday, you still have an entire tomorrow. I encourage you today to make the best of what time is left, don’t throw your time away. God bless you as you motivate yourself to do better with your time.
