I am fan of Lord of the Rings. And of course, one of the iconic lines/scenes is when we see Smeagol find the Ring to Rule them All and begin to refer to it as “my precious.”
Do we cherish Time in the same way? For us, time is the true precious. It is a blessing and a curse. It is the most valuable thing we have and yet, we are cursed with so little of it. How do we treat time? Do we see every minute as “our precious” or do neglect it and let it slip away from us?
I was reminded of these questions when reading this short blog post from Seth Godin’s website
Of course there isn’t.
Time is all we’ve got.
Time is all there is.
We can’t waste time because it’s not ours to waste. It’s simply the way we keep track of everything else.
Everyday we struggle to maximize our time, to build in time to grow, to change, to be productive, to experience life and all it has to offer. Every so often it is important to remind ourselves of the preciousness of every moment.
May today be a day of reflecting on how we best use our time! May this process of reflection help you find your New Beginning!
