It’s said that the greatest gift you can give to someone is your time. When you give someone your time, you give them a portion of your life that you will never get back. I mean, you can make more money, but you can't make more time. Your time is your life and that’s why it’s the greatest gift you can afford to give freely. It is not enough to just say family or relationship is important; we must prove it by investing time in them.
My little experience in life has taught me that actually there's no such thing as being “too busy”. If you really want something, you'll make time for it; People will always make time for the things they consider important or priority. Get me right, it’s a good thing to be hardworking, and so are the ants. The big question is ‘what do you prioritize?’ your family? career? friends? or all of them? A brilliant mind once said that "it’s not what you do for your children, but what you've taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings". Steven Covey {American educator, author, businessman, keynote speaker} summarizes "the key is not to prioritize what is on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities."
The weekend is here with us, my challenge to you is to “create” an hour or so with a young mind. Probably your son, daughter, niece, nephew, sister, or brother, or all of them {the better} over the weekend…give them your time; share your time with them. Mentor them, share values with them; become a miracle…to just one. As blessed Teresa once said, “ the meaning of true love is 'give until it hurts' ”
“Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Steve Jobs, Myles Monroe, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, Albert Einstein, etc…”
Finally, they say door of opportunity is always marked "PUSH" …..help the world spell the word LOVE as..............>>>> TIME.
