MY TIME IS MY LIFE

MY TIME IS MY LIFE

“If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”
-Bruce Lee

Just like flower is the major raw material we need to make bread so also our TIME is the principal raw material we need to become successful in life. It is the investment of your time in your life that determines your success not luck or chance. What you do with your time will determine where you will ultimately end. The successful invests their time positively while the failure spends their time negatively. Time is everything. You need to ask yourself this serious question. Where am I investing my time? Because that is where your life is going. You can predict how you will end in life by checking how you use your time.  When you see people that have no value for time, you have seen people that are going no where. Your time is your life. So it goes like this, if you waste your time, you are wasting your life. Think of this, your time is part of your life so wasting it is throwing part of your life away. 

Every morning you wake up, you are loaded with 24 hours that can not be saved but use or wasted. We need to take the issue of time so seriously because that is our life. It is important for us to discipline ourselves in the use of our time or we wonder away. You need to value your time so dearly because you don’t have a million days to spend on this earth that is why you have to maximize everyday of your life in order to actualize your dream. Even if you plan to live for hundred years (100) old, you only have a maximum of 36, 500 days. Think of each day tickling away without you doing anything or making any input to become somebody in life. This will lead to a loss of destiny. Don’t be like Methuselah that has no imparts no imprint. The tragedy about life is that most people think they have enough time to do whatever they wanted to do only to wake up and see that the best years of their lives had gone down the drain without anything tangible to show for it. It is time to tame your time. Be in charge. Be responsible for your time. I have discovered that people don’t fail suddenly. People only fail in the process of time.

Think of this, whoever you are, whether you are poor or rich, a king or a peasant or even a slave, God has given everyone of us equal number of hours per day. It thus means that God has given everyone of us equal opportunity to succeed. God has not cheated on you neither has life cheated on you. If time is what it takes to succeed, it means everyone has equal chance to succeed. I remember Myles Munroe speaking, he said “God did not create the rich or the poor but He created people and everyone decided who they will be in life through the use of the resources available to them which time is the major one”. The same time it took a man to fail is also the same time that will take a man to succeed. Some are sleeping with their time; others are investing their time in things that will move them closer to their destiny. You have a choice. Remember you have only one life to live. Don’t experiment with it.

Life is not a football game because there is no replay match. There is no next season of your life. Rather than complaining about failure or lack of opportunity which most of us do, you need to ask yourself, why are some successful and other are big time failure. You know it is easy to blame someone for where we are in life rather than ourselves that is why Robert Schuler says” fix the problem and don’t shift the blame. It is simply in the right investment of your time.  God will never give you a task without a tool. The tool you have is your time.
