Time Will Not Wait For Anyone

“Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every

moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination;

never put off till tomorrow what you can do to-day .”

Lord Chesterfield 1694 -1773, British Statesman

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

Time will not wait for anyone

 

When we were children . . .  . time would seem to move slowly.

 

It seemed like our birthday took forever to come around. It felt like Christmas would take an eternity for it to be here.

 

Next Saturday took forever to get here . . . . and summer vacation was a life time away.

 

Well were not children any longer . . . . and our birthdays seem to zip by like mile markers on a highway. We continually asking ourselves were did the time go?

 

Time waits for no one . . . . And your time is what you make of it.

 

Treat the moments in your life . . . . as a perishable resource . . . . Because they are. One that only brings value into your life . . . . when you bring value into the moments of your life.  

 

The moments in your life become a direct reflection of the way you use those moments. What you do in those moments creates the value in your life . . . . and creates the direction that your life moves in.

 

Use your moments for productive purposes . . . . and your life becomes productive. Waste your time . . . . and you’ll be wasting your life.

 

Time will not wait for anyone . . . . and remember . . . . what you sod . . . . you will reap.

Time, Time everywhere is time, well so not true for that old song.  We need to make the most of our time to have time to enjoy time!

Lou Ludwig while I love being a real estate broker if I could change the past I would like to find something that would involve the whole family so I'd have more time to enjoy watching my children grow and be a more active part in their lives. Makes me think of the old song "Cats In The Cradle".

It is always funny to me when I see agents allowing others to steal their time. I call them "time bandits"

No matter what we are doing, time will keep moving on, so if it passes us, we won't be able to get that time back.

When I was about ten year old, my grandmother told me not to wish my life away by wishing for things like Christmas and summer vacation to get closer. She told me the older I got the faster time would go...and she was so rigth about that.

So true!  Time is the ledger of opportunities.  Often when we hesitate, we miss those opportunities!
