Mondays Thoughts.................

By
Real Estate Agent with Aubrey and Associates Realty

I was going through me email this morning and came across a quote that I think is appropriate every time of the year, but even more so at this time of the year.  Many people look at the first part of the year as a time to reorganize, renew, and explore any way to do a better job at their business, home and personal lives.  The quote that I came across is from the Great American Poet Carl Sandburg.

"Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you."

This is so true, YOU control how you spend your time.  YOU can control whether you are doing the most profitable thing possible at any given time, just as YOU can control if you're wasting your time.  The key point is the it is up to YOU how you will spend your time, Mr. Sandburg is correct, if YOU don't control how you use your time, someone (or something) else will.  Make it a great day!

Thanks Tony and Darcy,

I prefer to spend my coin the way I see fit! It is much more rewarding.

Best regards,

Tony and Darcy, now this is something we need to remind outselves of every single day - or we will let others spend our coin!

Thanks for the great information and food for thought.

I am spending about 2 days to go over how I want to spend this new year and I am taking all the bits and parts that make up my day to day life too.  I used to do this every year and I just got off the track some how and now I am getting back on track and it is up to me.!

I will remember you guys if I have a referral for you area.

Happy New Year!

Hi Tony and Darcy-

How true that is.  For us, this year is all about the control of our time.  We have so many projects and not enough hours.  Only the deserving for 2010!
