How Will You Spend Your Time This Year?
Peter Drucker, a well-known management consultant and author wrote, "Time is always in short supply. There is no substitute for time. Everything requires time...All work takes place in, and uses up time. Yet most people take for granted this unique, irreplaceable and necessary resource." *
Time seems to have gotten away from me in the last 9 months. My writing took place in the classes I taught, when planning for workshops, and in emails to friends. I no doubt wasted a lot of my time as well. So I as the clock ticks to midnight and the beginning of 2014, I have resolved to get back to writing regularly in my blog. I miss the connection that I get from putting my thoughts on "paper." To that end, today's topic is time... inspired by the fact I don't manage it as well as I once did; it's something everyone could use more of; and it's something rarely given despite its value.
There is no greater gift than to give of one's time. There is no greater resource when learning new things and making changes in one's practice than being allowed the necessary time to consider, plan, implement, reflect and revise. Time is of the essence. Time heals. Time marches on. Time can be frittered away, or used to do great things. It only requires a moment to make a difference - to touch a heart, to share a smile, to do the right thing. Time spent with our children, our significant other, our families and our friends is just as valuable for us as it is them. There are many choices that we can make with our time....every day! Consider how you might spend your time ....
A time to dream
A time to do
A time to relate
A time to renew
A time to inspire
A time to prove
A time to consider
A time to move
A time to uncover
A time to review
A time to unlock
A time to make new
A time to give
A time to receive
A time to follow
A time to lead
A time to question
A time to explore
A time to cherish
A time to adore
A time to reflect
A time to pray
A time to relax
A time to play
A time to be sorry
A time to forgive
A time to commit
A time to let live
A time to laugh
A time to share
A time for silence
A time to care
A time for courage
A time to retreat
A time to overcome
The throws of defeat
How will you choose your time each day?
Who will you influence by what you do or say?
Choose to make a difference, to love and give thanks.
Choose to be kind, find good, - leave nothing to chance.
And when it is all said and done.....Time will tell.
