TIME, ONE OF GOD'S GREATEST GIFTS TO MAN

Most people wonder why others are having results and they don't have. Results are only for time investors not for time wasters. Show me a man who has results without knowing how to invest time, I will show you a failure. Because he needs time management to maintain his results{wealth}.

For most of the big{rich} men we see in our society today, if they are not investing their time personally to produce results, then there are people they must have employed who are investing the time on their behalf to have that result. No man ever succeeded without acknowledging time and its importance to humans.

The reason why time is one of the greatest gift God has given to man is that, It has been given to all men equally. God did not give some people higher than others. God was kind enough to give the same measure of time to all men. But the difference between people and the products{results}they have is in how well they use their time. Now lets look at the definitions of time.

Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future. Can you see how time here progresses and is also irreversible? So for every time you waste you cannot get it back. It is not just that for every time you waste you can't get it back, but for every moment the clock ticks its never regressive but progressive.

Oh God! I wish people could understand how important time is to everyone on planet earth. The amazing thing here is that time has been given to both, the Christians, Buddhist, Muslims, atheist and in fact, to all men. God wasn't partial.

He didn't  give it to a group of people in greater measures than others. Oh! what a merciful God!

Time melts away but a lot of people are still ignorant of it.  Please don't allow your time to melt away before your very own eyes. Always invest your time into producing results. Your worth is measured by how much time you invest into producing results. Lets look at another definition of time.

Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole. The definition of time here tells you how much it doesn't wait for any individual who decides to waste it. Time can never wait for the good, bad, or ugly.

Time does not want to know if you are black or white, if you are pretty or ugly, if you fat, or thin, if you are from a wealthy home or a poor one, if you are tall or short. My dear friends, time has no respect for anyone. Time is only answerable to those who make use of it. Some people might wonder how time is answerable to those who make good use of it. I am going to explain that to you.

If you are a keyboardist and you say to yourself I want to learn all the minor scales on keyboard within one month, and you went ahead,  investing that time everyday learning and perfecting your skills, you sleep just 4 hours out of 24 hours. And even before the one month is over you learnt all the minor scales you have ever heard of and even went ahead to invent your own. That is how you beat the time and that is how time respects you for being the man of your word.

Decisions are very difficult to make but brave men make the greatest decisions of their lives. Great leaders are never time wasters, they are time investors. For you to be an effective leader you have to be a time investor. For men reckon only to people who have results.

If a 10 year old child invest his or her time and make a products out of it, the world will forget that there is a 60 year old man leaving the next door after that child. Why? because people want to associate with men of results. Men who have something to offer to humanity.

 Take the decision today to make your every seconds, minute, hour, day, and year productive. I bet you, you will never regret it. If the people you call unbelievers are being productive with their time, how much more you who are called by his name?

"I would I could stand on a busy corner, hat in hand, and beg people to throw me all their wasted hours"
                                                                                                   -Bernard Berenson

A man was wishing that he could stand in a busy corner to beg people to give him their wasted time, so he could invest it into producing results that can help humanity. But the same time that has been given to all men equally, some waste their own time doing what will not profit humanity. In the same time, some pastors are using it to play politics in church, some members are fasting and praying for 21days of miracles. Some churches are holding irrelevant religious activities that do not teach members how they could start being earthly relevant.

I also wish I can penetrate the heart of everyone on planet earth that is not yet using their time wisely, to pour out my heart to them, telling them how time flies and why it should not be taken for granted.

If you wasted any seconds, minutes, hour, day, year, and you can't account for it, then you have just wasted life. Because time is life and life is time. You have to learn to take charge of your time which is your life. Don't allow it fly away without you making good use of it.

Time is also deceptive, that is why some people are always carried away by it. Build your everyday to be a productive day. Before you sleep draft out things you want to achieve the next day, don't allow yourself to be carried away by the glamour and distractions on planet earth. You must be a critical thinker.
It is only the lazy man that does not know that time is deceptive and smart. For example, a man has scheduled to do a particular thing and its 20 minutes to the time, for him  to do that thing, he will say Oh the time is still far let me sleep a little more. And at the end of the day, that same thing wasn't achieved. He then moves it forward, for next time. Procrastinators are time wasters, they do not take charge of the time that is their life.

The question is "How do I invest and take charge of my time?"
Well, In my next article I will show you practical ways on how to go about taking charge of your time which is your life. Thanks so much for stopping by to read through this my little piece. Hope it was helpful?
