The most valuable commodity on earth. Time.

in #life9 years ago

Time is the one thing we all have but can never get more of. We are the only species on earth with the concept of time, no other creature living or dead has ever been late or could ever understand the importance of time. Time is everything in the past and everything in the future, there is no start, no middle and no end there is simply it itself.

We as humans will always be racing against time, whether its to get to an appointment or meeting, to find a life partner before we feel we're too old or to get something done before a deadline. It controls our lives and is the most important thing you will ever have, once its gone its gone forever.

Time plays a greater part in our lives than most of us even realise, to most of us it is just a means to track our day to day activities and tasks but we give it so little credit for how important it truly is. We spend so much of it doing meaningless things. We spend it in the pursuit of wealth, love and everything else. When you go to the shops for food, youre not just spending money, youre spending your life. It is one of the reasons that inventions or ideas that save time are so popular. From delivery services to faster computers, seconds are more valuable than dollars and people will throw huge amounts of money at things that can give them more time for what they enjoy.
Whether you enjoy watching TV or playing video games, whether you like gardening or sculpting figurines from clay and there will always be someone who says you are wasting time but as many great minds including John Lennon and Russell Bertrand have said "Time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted time"
If you enjoy it, do it and dont listen to what anyone else has to say on the matter. What they think their time is valuable for will be very different to you and if you waste your time in the pursuit of approval from others you will regret it one day.

If you want something, don't wait! None of us know when our time will run out and if you hold back you may never get the chance. We could all die tomorrow and almost everyone on earth would regret not doing something better with their time.
Do the things you love and do them every opportunity you get. If you're unhappy then do something to change it because when time runs out so does your chance of being happy.
Our lives are but a tiny blip in the ocean of time but to us they are everything we will ever experience

One of the most important things ive ever learnt is to never let someone else waste your time, you don't have to be rude or mean but you should never allow someone to take up your precious minutes with something you couldn't care less about or that does not interest you.

Time is the most precious thing you will ever have, please dont squander the gift of time and do what you love for as much of it as possible, until they invent time travel our supply is limited.

Nice post & good advice! Time is precious and nothing stings worse than regret. The only answer to time poorly spent in the past is trying to do more in your present!

yea, or sitting around wasting more of it regretting how you wasted it, if that makes sense lol
