Time and Life...Hand in Hand

I am 23 already. Can you believe it? I hardly can sometimes. 23? 23. I bet in 30 more years, I will kill to be 23 again. But, also, I know when I was 15 I thought that I couldn't even fathom what it would be like to be 23. I am two years from 25. And 25 is half of 50. Weird. I am almost 30.

Really, I just write all of that to try to prove a point. Can you believe how much time impacts our lives? In some areas of the world, it is amazing to make it to 23. For some, 23 was the best time of their life, and now they are constantly living in the past. For others, they lived horrible lives when they were younger, and they would never go back to that age. To be 23 is young to some, and it old to others. It is desireable for some, and it is scary for others. And to think - some people on earth do not even know or care how old they are.

So what is my point? My point is this: time and life go hand in hand.

Do you want to make the most of your time on earth? Then live. Live such a life.

Do you want to have a great life on earth? Then value your time. Take advantage of time.

We are all given 24 hours each day. We can never get today back. We can never get our time back. It is the most precious commodity that we are all given in equal measure. Tomorrow is not promised. Yesterday is not revived. There is today. There is life in today. Or at least there should be life in today.

What are you doing with your time? What are you doing with today? If you are waiting for life - stop. If you are going through the motions today - stop. I would hate for anyone to be near the end of their life before they started to open their eyes. I would hate for anyone to be in regret over time wasted and lost. I would just hate for anyone not to experience life, and life to the full.

Therefore, I will end with two questions I have often asked myself and now I pose to you. So what are you doing with your time? What are you doing with your life? They probably go hand in hand...
