Time is not a friend from whom to benefit, a commodity to digest, or an excess to invest. Time is an enemy to defeat. Time marches on – right over you. We age over time, lose a step, and reap what we sew. Left alone, time will eat days, weeks, months, and leave one with nothing.
Time is only your friend when interest rates are favorable and you leave your nest egg alone. Then, and perhaps, in a legal case as facts take time to appear, and some people, over time, tend to come to their senses. Otherwise, to get anywhere takes time, and sometimes it takes more time, but passing time gets you nowhere fast.
This month, I’m on the trail of time, and I intend to clock it. For the last few months, I changed one small habit, and that change won me several battles. I acted on three minute items.
That is, I looked through my to do list and took quick action. Dear Lord, tell me you have graduated from middle school and keep a list of things you need to do. If not, read this, grow up, and come back here later. Sorry for that interruption – I looked at my to do list and picked an item that I took three minutes or less to complete. Then I did it.
Action makes me happy. It also gives me a little momentum to battle something larger. Go get ‘em.
