In 75 years time almost every person reading these words will probably be dead. Some, like me, will be long gone before that time - unless, of course, some scientist creates a miraculous anti-aging pill. Scary huh? The way that so many people keep putting off significant life goals you would think that they had thousands of years to live. "Ah, I'll leave it till tomorrow / next week / next month / next year / whenever..." These words are thought and uttered by millions every minute of every day. Life is short. It's shorter than most people realize. When it comes to time everybody gets treated the same way. It doesn't matter whether you are a pauper or a king. Time does not discriminate. No matter how much money you have you will never be able to purchase any units of time. Time does not care what you look like or how talented you are. It doesn't care where you were born or who your parents are or what nationality you are. Apart from the air we breathe, water, food and shelter, it is our most precious commodity. From the moment we are born we begin to use it up. Why then are so many people prepared to waste time? You know that you are not going to live forever. You know that every passing day just reduces the amount of time you have to fulfil your life goals. Set a date. Make a promise to yourself. Put some checkpoints in place. Measure your progress on a consistent basis. How important are your goals? Are they significant enough for you to expend the required time on bringing them to fruition? Well? How just important are they to you? Father time will not wait for you. Make a start today. Write yourself a plan. Stick to it. Spend your time wisely. You will never get it back. Become inspired.
