Most of us are professional time wasters
We don't apreciate our time the way we should. It moves fast, and once it moves, it’s gone forever. You can’t get it back and you can’t get more time.
Some of us will have less time than others, and yet we choose to spend it on things that won’t matter tomorrow...they don’t even matter today, at this moment.
We waste time making the same mistakes over and over again, but we don’t understand that the first time we fail at something is called a mistake. The second time we fail in the same manner, that’s called a choice.
All these distractions prevent you from performing as well as you can. There are people who took out their phones and they spent an entire hour just scrolling through Instagram, gaining absolutely nothing.
Or people whose lives are so boring that they never face any real problems, and they just go and search for something that will trigger them, so they can later complain on Twitter.
Doing that is so ungrateful, but some people really have no idea. They will just wake up thirty years in the future, old, in bad health, and they won’t have anything to show off for their daily activities.
“Time is the fire in which we burn” - Malcolm McDowell J. M. Dillard
Even if you think it’s OK to live like this, spreading little rumours, engaging in meaningless conversations, getting really worked up over someone else’s mistake...ask yourself: Are you wasting your time? Or are you living it?
Everybody needs to have long-term goals because if you give them enough time, they will get it done. But in order to achieve something, we must be mindful of how we spend our time.
Our lives must be organized around our priorities and we must live with clear intentions, because whatever we do today, it’s going to be a brick that we lay for our future. Your daily actions can be a good predictor for the future.
Conclusion
You already know all of this, but let it act as a reminder. Be grateful for your time.
Others didn’t get even half of the time that you got, but yet, they made better use of it. And learn to spend your time in a way that will align with good objectives.
Cheers!
