Well ladies and germs, it been a few weeks but here we are again with the blogging and what not. I hope everyone is have an amazing year thus far and are full filling all of the goals that you have set for yourself this. Even if have last focus/haven't lived up to you goals, then don't beat yourself up over it. It's not important how you started, it's all about how you finish so just get back to it. Now since we got that little motivational speech out of the way, let's get to the topic at hand.
It seems to me that people want more out of life than ever before. Some people want to travel, while some people want to find a better job/start a career/be their own boss. Some people want to be successful, while some people want to settled down, get married, and start a family. While these things are our dreams/goals that we want to accomplish, there is one thing that is needed to make these things a reality that I don't see many people talk about. This thing is more valuable and precious than money, silver, and good. Once this thing is gone, you can never get it back or replace it. This one thing is want many people wish they had. The thing in which I speak of and will be the focus of this blog is......*wait for it*......time.
Time is the one of the most important tools in life when you think about. Depending on how you use your time, you can accomplish a lot of things in your life. Time affects how your life will be. More importantly, your time management skills will dictate rather you have a good life or a bad life. The most successful people in life favor from having time skills. One thing that always stuck to me, in reference to time, is something Sean "Diddy" Combs said about time on an interview on The Breakfast Club. He said on the interview "I have the same 24 hours just like everyone else." A lot can be done with 24 hours. Idea's can be formed, plans can be executed, and dreams/goals can true.
If time is so valuable, why do folks waste it? Well besides the fact some people just don't have time management skills, I believe that folks think that they an infinite amount of time when this is the far from the truth. From the time we are born, we are born with a timer that will eventually run out. The only person who knows when our times is up is God. I can not tell you how many time's I have said "I will do this tomorrow or when I have more time." I have seen people waste time in jobs that they hate instead of pursuing what they really want to do/be in life. I have also seen people wait to tell someone how they feel about someone, and when the person finds the courage to finally tell the person, that person is with someone who didn't waste time a told the person how they feel. I believe that people would not waste the time that God has given us if we knew exactly when our time was up.
No matter how much time you have on this earth, you can do amazing things with it. You can either have a short life with meaning/purpose or you can have a long dull life. When I think of who have done amazing things with the limited time they had on the earth, I think about people like Amy Winehouse, Jimi Hendrix, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Notorious B.I.G., Heath Ledger, Paul Walker, and John Lennon. All of these people changed the industry that they were apart of, and some of them even changed the world. One person who did a lot with the little time he had on earth was Tupac. Before his death, Tupac stared in 8 movies, and record enough material to have 13 albums. Tupac all of this by the time he was 25 years old. He is considered one of the greatest rap artist of all time. Not only was he an amazing rapper, he also care about his people, and he wanted to see them do/become better. Just imagine what more he could have done if he was still around.
There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in a hour, 24 hours in a day, 7 days in week, and 52 weeks in a year. We don't have as much time as we like to think that we have. What will yo do with all of that time? Will you decide to use your time wisely, follow your dreams, do something great, and leave a legacy behind? Will you waste the time god has given you and not live up to your potential? At the end of the day, the choice is up to you. To better reflect on the this issue, look at the two videos on the bottom of that was made by SpokenReasons. To end this, I will leave you with a quote by SpokenReasons. "While you're sitting there, holding your thoughts, over analyzing the situation, just know there's someone already doing what you are thinking."
