Time: Your Treasure

Time is one of the costliest commodities one can ever have. It is a substance that many people misuse, but only a few know its importance. It is not just about knowing its importance, but also managing it to suit ones purpose in life.

Time flies. Time is money. Tick tack says the time. Time waits for no man. Do you really know what those mean? Time flies, and heals all wounds. We try to save it, make it, kill it and there is never enough of it.

It has become a norm for people to chant ‘I don’t have time. You truly don’t have all the time in the world to achieve everything, except the essentials. Therefore, do not wait to do things at the eleventh hour.

One truth about Time is that it can never go back. It keeps going forward. It waits for no man, so don’t dwell in the past. Have you ever observed how the hands of time/ clock move? It goes forward. That is to show you that delay is very costly, rather, forward ever, backward never is the best. Time never moves, and then stops at a point; unless its battery is dead. That is exactly how one’s life is. You don’t have all the time in the world. You neither know when its your time to kick the bucket, nor answer the clarion call, rather make the best use of the time you have now.

You should know that each day you wake up is another opportunity granted you to make up for all your mistakes, and make more achievements. The more days go by, the closer your time of departure from this earth. If you were to leave this world at this moment, would you proudly beat your chest and say you are satisfied with the life you have lived? If no, this is the time to live up to your dreams.

One thing is certain while you are pursuing your dreams; it is ‘challenges’. Be conscious of what you do. Being alive today is not a mistake, neither is your birth; because, if you were not destined to be born, you would not be alive.

You were created for a purpose. The scripture also confirmed it in Genesis 1 vs. 31 that God looked at everything he had made and found it very good. Despite that fact, your actions can actually determine if you will end good as you were created for, or not. So be mindful of your actions. You are not better than the mad people on the street, the beggars, those in the hospitals and so on, neither are you better than the dead.  No one is also better than you, unless you keep yourself in a position of being compared with others. Please, make positive use of the time you have got now, for delay is very dangerous.

It is said that ‘’ even a broken or stopped clock is right twice a day’’. You have your moment too just as the broken clock. Your moment is now. There is no time like the present. So, don’t waste time. Always do your best to beat the clock.
