Time is a valuable thing, that many of us take for granted.
We go to sleep at night, expecting to wake up the next day
BUT
What if you didn’t wake up?
If given the chance to do things over again, would you take it?
The answer to this question is in all likelihood yes.
The importance of time
Life is valuable, and every second we have counts. We should not downplay the fragility of our lives.
We as humans beings are subject to death, and disease.
These two things serve as a reminder that we are all mortal, and that our time is limited.
With only a limited lifespan, in order to really maximize our time, we must learn how to spend our time in the first place.
How to make the most of your time
In order to truly make the most of every moment you have, you must do two things.
- Prioritize your goals, and work to achieve them.
- Do things that you enjoy, and help you to relax.
Striving to reach your goals should take up the majority of your time.
Whether you are attending university to get your degree or running a start-up business, your dreams matter.
When you achieve your aspirations, you will look back on things, and realize that things happen for a reason.
You got where you are for a reason. Because you put in the work, time, and effort to make it happen.
The time that transpired from the beginning, and the end of your journey will serve as a reminder that dedication can, and will pay off if you are committed to the process.
When you do what makes you feel valuable, and gives you satisfaction, you will have a sense of purpose that will stay with you.
Just as you take time to prioritize your aspirations, the same should be done with rewarding yourself.
Hard work deserves some reward, so you should treat yourself to whatever makes you happy.
Your happinesses is important, and if all you do is work yourself to death, then you will be less likely to be happy about what you are doing, and more so doing it as a sense of responsibility.
Just remember, just because you need to get things done, does not mean you cannot take time for yourself when you need it.
Conclusion
Because time is valuable, we must use it to our advantage. We do not have a lot of it, so we must learn to be as productive as we possibly can with it.
We are not guaranteed to live a long life, but if we devote our time to our passions, and give ourselves a break when we need it, we are surely making the most of every second that we have.
