Time After Time
I have come to truly understand that there is no such thing as a person who doesn't have enough time. We invest our time in that which we deem as important. We prioritise that which matters to us. If you love to read, no matter how busy you are, you will find time in your busy schedule to dedicate to reading - even if all you can spare is an hour or thirty minutes of your day. If how you look or your health matters to you, no matter how many commitments and deadlines you have, you will go to gym - even if it is only for forty-five minutes. If your physical appearance matters to you, you will make time for grooming, whether that will delay you or another person. If things matter to you, you will prioritise them. If you want to be an intellectual you will make time for self-development. You will deprive yourself of certain things in order to prioritise your growth in the ideational space. If you want to be a socialite you will make time for social programmes. You will sacrifice sleep if you have to, money if you must, and whatever else it takes. It is as simple as that. It applies to people too. No matter how busy you are, you make time for people who matter to you. Whether you can only spare 3 minutes in your busy schedule to call or SMS them, you'll make it a priority. If you don't, they aren't worth the sacrifice. But no-one must ever say they don't have enough time. We all have the same 24 hour day, how we use it says a lot about who we are and what we value. It also says a lot about who we will become, what history will say of us, because what we invest our time in today, what we value today, shapes who we become tomorrow.
