RE: How to really Use your Spare time.
Truthfully, time is the only resource we can never get back. And as you point out, it’s the great equalizer- no matter how rich or poor you are, you live for exactly 24 hours/day except the day you’re born and the day you die.
It makes me wonder how much of our time is worth investing into getting better, learning skills, etc vs enjoying what we already have. It’d be such a waste to spend our whole lives working and earning if it only means we can die rich.
True happiness lies not in time wasting, not in selfishly enjoying what we have without paying our due for this wonderful life to the legacy of foundational development which facilitated our existence, not in material riches, not in physical attributes like beauty, but in the rewards which come from improving the lives of others.
Without purpose we fade and fast.
Purpose is not found in self to the exclusion of others but through serving others. Our partners, children, community, the planet and for those who believe, above all, our God and His plan for our future.
Almost without exception, those who are about to leave this world, having the chance to reflect, regret the time they did not spend with those they live, opportunities they did not facilitate and joy they did not spread.
So true!
Strangely enough, with all my years in this world, I have never woken up in the morning with a desire to go stand in a queue?
