Appreciating Time

Hmm… we have become so familiar with our wrist watch such that all it means to us is just a fashion item (accessory) - what about its primary assignment?

I was at a meeting where I asked a member of the audience what his definition of time is. His response further establishes that there are some words that we are so close to and yet, we find them challenging to explain or define.

With a smile on his face, he said, “time is time.” One of my teachers back in those days would say, we should try as much as possible to do away with the word we are defining from the explanation or definition we are giving. According to this teacher, your ability to do this helps you to truly know if you understand the word you’ve been asked to define or explain.

A lot of us have become so “familiar” with time that we think and relate to time as just time. We see time as a "normal thing"- it is just one of those things. It is true that we have 24hours each day but the truth of the matter is, we can never experience the same thing we did yesterday today. Yesterday is gone, today is is another day and tomorrow is yet to come but, what we did yesterday and what we do today tells what today looks like and what tomorrow will look like respectively.

That a man wears a wrist watch is not an indication that he values time or knows what time it is.

This piece is meant to challenge you to see time as a scarce resource and to provoke you to make the best use of every moment and make it count for good. The time you have today will never be there again. Today is an opportunity to determine what your  tomorrow's experience will look like.

It is my believe that this article will not only motivate every reader but will also provoke and propel you to getting the best out of every moment and stage of your life. God Bless you.
