There can be no confusion, time is our most valuable currency. This non renewable commodity can be exchanged for almost anything, but curiously is most commonly traded for money.
People often say they would have done things differently in hindsight, but we ignore the power of foresight. Time must be spent in furtherance of our goals. Bill Gates is reported to have said that “[m]ost people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years.” Just imagine what you can accomplish in a lifetime…
Don’t fritter away your precious few grains of sand, but spend them deliberately, in furtherance and alignment with your values.
