Use or Lose Your Time

“Take Control of your time or time will take control of you.” -Charles Givens

One of the worst things we can do in life is to let it pass us by. There are many things we can do with our time but to waste it is foolish. Oh, how well I know this truth. It seems the older I get the more I realize I should make everyday count. Time truly has wings and will fly if you do not cage it. There are days I look back in reflection and wonder where the day went. Sometimes looking back in horror on how I wasted my day. There are days, and they seem to increase, where I look at my older kids and wonder where the time went. I catch myself remembering when they were in diapers or when we used to play with their toys and wishing I could do it all over again, but with more effort, yet that time has flown by. Funny, it almost hurts because I can’t bring it back, but I am glad for the good memories. What am I saying? Make everyday count! Whether it’s work, time with your spouse or time with the kids, make it worth it. You only get this one chance to plan you time so use it wisely. “Failing to plan is planning to fail.” -Unknown.
