Time! If only we had ….. more time. This is THE most often heard phrase from around the internet whether it be on social media or in email from our subscribers and to be honest it was one of our biggest problems too once up
on a time (and it does creep up on us from time to time (please excuse the pun).
TIME
We have read countless books, watched numerous videos and listened to hundreds of audios from experts in their field including Brian Tracy famous for “Eat That Frog” which we shared in an earlier blog.
When we read this story about time called “First Thing Every Morning” by Justin Timberlake we had to share it with you here. …….
FIRST THING EVERY MORNING
” If you had a bank that credited your account each morning with $86,400—with no balance carried from day to day—what would you do? Well, you do have such a bank…time
Every morning time credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it rules off as “lost” whatever you have failed to use toward good purposes. It carries over no balances and allows no overdrafts. You can’t hoard it, save it, store it, loan it or invest it. You can only use it — TIME.
Arthur Berry was described by Time (Magazine) as “the slickest second-story man in the East,” truly one of the most famous jewel thieves of all times. In his years of crime, he committed as many as 150 burglaries and stole jewels valued between $5 and $10 million. He seldom robbed from anyone not listed in the Social Register and often did his work in a tuxedo. On an occasion or two, when caught in the act of a crime by a victim, he charmed his way out of being reported to the police.
Like most people who engage in a life of crime, he was eventually caught, convicted and served 25 years in prison for his crimes. Following his release, he worked as a counterman in a roadside restaurant on the East Coast for $50 a week.
A newspaper reporter found him and interviewed him about his life. After telling about the thrilling episodes of his life he came to the conclusion of the interview saying, “I am not good at morals. But early in my life I was intelligent and clever, and I got along well with people. I think I could have made something of my life, but I didn’t. So when you write the story of my life, when you tell people about all the burglaries, don’t leave out the biggest one of all… Don’t just tell them I robbed Jesse Livermore, the Wall Street baron or the cousin of the king of England. You tell them Arthur Berry robbed Arthur Berry.”
So it all boils down to one simple fact. You are in control of your time and the only person responsible for it is YOU!
TIME TRUTHS
Here are six terrific truths about time:
First: Nobody can manage time. But you can manage those things that take up your time.
Second: Time is expensive. As a matter of fact, 80 percent of our day is spent on those things or those people that only bring us two percent of our results.
Third: Time is perishable. It cannot be saved for later use.
Fourth: Time is measurable. Everybody has the same amount of time…pauper or king. It is not how much time you have; it is how much you use.
Fifth: Time is irreplaceable. We never make back time once it is gone.
Sixth: Time is a priority. You have enough time for anything in the world, so long as it ranks high enough among your priorities.
We discovered a short movie called First Thing In The Morning and we have added it to our watch every day.
Now you have the knowledge what will you do with it? Will you use it more wisely, invest in your education, travel, start a new business? We would love to know and you can share it with us right here by leaving a comment below.
