Time and Time Again

.

.

If you stand in one spot for 24 hours,

1,440 minutes, 86,400 seconds,

the Earth will rotate on it's axis

360 degrees, and you will have

completed what we call a day.

Time is time, no more and no less.

You or others, time will be the

same for all.

What you do with the time is your choice.

Sleeping and eating are required by most people.

Working to earn food, grow food, gather food, kill for food, or however you get what you eat,

is time that is necessarily spent. Man is a social animal so time must be spent with others.

You may choose your friends, but your family is yours.

Hopefully your family has taught you the appropriate social skills. School, church,

tribal meetings, extended family or whatever your cultural or ethnic traditions dictate,

are all social learning experiences.

If Dad took you to the bar a few days a week to hang out with him and the guys and gals,

your social education is probably very lacking.

Fortunately, social skills may be learned or relearned at any age.

Move to a different country on a different continent and you will learn to adapt to your

new social surroundings if you chose to eat and sleep.

Now, back to the time that is left over in your day.

"Life is not lost by dying;
life is lost minute by minute,
day by dragging day,
in all the thousand small uncaring ways."       ~ Stephen Vincent Benet

Yesterday is gone, history, time spent, and can now be used only as a reference for what 

you want to do today.

Tomorrow never comes.

Today is the day that must be the focus of your intentions.

Develop some personal habits and exercise some regular social interaction in your daily

schedule so that you may live a fulfilled life. A fulfilled life is one that completes the

will of a Higher Power. Today, put your attitude in a positive gear and enjoy life.

Practice your daily mantra of goodness; be kind, be loving, be patient and tolerant,

be forgiving and try to be the person God wants you to be.

Be kind to yourself, sleep, eat, and be healthy because if you are not physically and

mentally up to par, you may have just wasted another day.

Be kind to others.

Negative feelings are unproductive and waste valuable time. Resentments, anger, worry,

fear, envy, nagging and complaining, hate, regrets and other negative thoughts are

exercises in time wasting. Trying to drown or stuff your feelings with alcohol or drugs

is a day wasted and memories lost.

Time is the most valuable commodity anyone can have, learn to spend it wisely.

Be happy, joyous and free, enjoy life, time is short and it is always fleeing.

In your day there is no time for could have, should have, would have done this or that,

only the time which you spent doing what you did.

You may start your day over anytime you wish, but remember time will eventually

make the ultimate decision when the day is over.

Do not pass on the opportunity to do the pleasant little things in life, you may one day

look back and realize that they were the big things in your life.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
