My Time is My Life -Part 2


 My Time is My Life-Part 2

Recently I read the biography of Michael Jordan, it was amazing. His success came majorly by investment of his time positively. He practiced the act of throwing ball five hundred times (500) every morning before he leaves for school. Who will ever say that is a life of luck? You will quite agree with me that there are some skills you developed on your job through investment of your time. Most scientists and inventors will tell you that their inventions or discoveries came by simply staying put on their job. They invested long hours upon hours on their jobs. There is no cheap brake or shortcut to lasting success. I read about Isaac Newton that he was so engrossed in his job that sometime he forgot to eat breakfast.  It is time for us to stop crying that we don’t have anything and to start using what will have. You have all you need and you need all you have to become whosoever you wanted to be in life.

Instead of blaming government, people or situation for where you are it is better for you to start accounting for the use of your time. It is easier to shift the blame but difficult to fix the problem.
There is no escape. Someone said” if you refuse to pay now (invest your time), you will pay in the future”. Those who pay now play later but those who play now will pay in the future. While you still have the time, it is time to begin to invest it before it is too late. There are things that are too late for us. May it not be too late for us?

TIME MANAGEMNT GOLDEN RULE

Yesterday is a canceled check; tomorrow is a promissory note; today is the only cash you have - so spend it wisely

I have discovered the golden rule in time management and this is it. If you can control the daily use of your time then you have master your future. If you invest positively in everyday of your life, you have secured your future. Your everyday is important because that is what constitutes your future. It was Mike Murdock that said” the secret of our future is in our daily routine”. Your focus should be how am I using my day? Am I investing my time daily in my goals and plans? It is quite unfortunate that most of us invest our time daily in things that has nothing to do with our ultimate goal in life. That is a tragedy.  My focus is in my day and my day is my life. Don’t let it go. Neglect of time leads to a life of failure. If you will really take care of today, tomorrow will take care of itself. You don’t need any prophet to tell you where you will end just check the way you use your time. Ephesians 5 vs 16 say redeeming the time because the days are evil. As someone going somewhere you have to be able to account for the daily use of your time. You are not a mirage that will disappear someday. You are somebody that is created to make an impact. Sit up. It is time for us to go back to the drawing board and draw plans on how we are going to be investing our time daily towards our goals and purpose in life. Please whatever you want to do that will bring you closer to your dream start doing them today and now. Never push over or procrastinate because you may not get the time to do it again. There is no better time to do what is right except now. The number one enemy of time management is procrastination. You need to fight this as if you are fighting for life
