Time Is…

You are not free until you know how to manage your time. Progress doesn’t happen overnight. It happens when you know how to manage your time.

Time is precious. Don’t waste it on things that are irrelevant to your dreams. Manage your time well. If you know how to manage your time, you will know how to live your life. Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, “Time lost is time when we have not lived a full human life, time unenriched by experiences, creative endeavor, enjoyment, and suffering.” So if you want to live a full human life, you must manage your time well. Because time is your life. If you waste it, you waste your life.

“Time is too short for those who rejoice.”- Henry Van Dyke

Live your time. Your time is important. Use your time to get yourself to where you want to be. Use your time to change other people’s lives. Use your time to love, to create new things, to change what you don’t like about yourself. Don’t use your time to bring other people down. Don’t use your time to watch TV. Use it to live, to give thanks to God, to reach out to your friends, to read, to draw, to design, to make the world a better place.

Time is important. Use your time to live your own life. Use your time to create yourself, to reinvent yourself. Steve Jobs once said, “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” We are not going to be here forever. But while we are still here, let us not waste our lives. Let us live our lives.

The Power Of Change Is Stronger Than Your Power. Here Is Why You Should Not Resist It

Whether we like to change or not, we are not going to be able to resist change. The power of change is bigger and stronger than your own. People don’t like change, but it is necessary. We can’t grow without it. It is good for your health. It is good for your life. It stimulates growth.

You can’t do great things without change. We like to do the same thing forever. We like where we are. We like to take the same road to work. We like to hang out with the same people. We like to eat at the same restaurant. It is good to hang out with the same people, but if you want to know other people, you must find time to meet other people. If you want to change your life, to learn new things, to explore the world, to learn about other people, you must get out of your comfort zone. Your comfort zone is good, but not enough to change your life.

If you want to change the direction of your life, if you want to pursue your dreams, you must do it now. You must do it today. You don’t have time to waste. If you think you have enough time to play around, you are just kidding yourself. Whatever you want to do, today is the right day to start. Do it today.
