You need new information or a new commitment to action an existing knowledge to enable you have new outcomes in life. I want to share a brief but extremely important message with you. A message that, I believe if you embrace, will deliver outrageous value to you.
What do you want out of life?
This is one of the most important questions you could ever ask yourself. Very few people know what they really want out of life. Anybody doing anything worthwhile in society has a clear vision of what they want and the willingness to convert their time to realise their vision. The truth is, your vision is your share or space in life. Living without a clear vision is a major reason for the restlessness plaguing the masses. Life really is not about what there is or has been done; it is about what YOU want. If all we do is repeat what there is or has been done, there will be no real progress in life. Life was designed to be progressive. Have a clear vision of what you want out of life and go for it. It is that simple.
Time is your greatest resource
Time is your greatest resource. It is the purchasing power for whatever you want. Time is the only resource the rich and poor have in common; yet the use of time is what makes them different. Your time is your life. If you waste your time you have wasted your life. Time is a limited and depleting asset. Therefore trading time directly for money all your life is not a wise use of time. In the creation account we see God trading six days (time) for everything He created. Time is the raw form of what it takes to create whatever you want. Whatever you require to succeed can be acquired by exchanging time for it. The whole of 2018 is time. What are you going to exchange it for? Salary? That will be an unfair trade.
Convert time to be fruitful
You would have to, at a point in your life, convert your time into products or systems that deliver services and then exchange these for material wealth. The successful conversion of time is what makes the difference in life. Don’t just watch time fly, take hold of it and convert it into anything you want. A wise man said ‘What you don’t have is what you have been unwilling to exchange time for.’
Do not focus solely on what you are getting from the job but also what you are becoming on the job. Become the highest version of yourself this year. Use time to create depth and capacity in yourself. Increase your value by exchanging time for wisdom.
Joel 2:25
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. [Emphasis mine]
Get rid of modern locusts and cankerworms, caterpillars and palmerworms that eat your years. Any gadget, ‘friend’ or platform that eats your time is stealing your life. Watch it!
Live Boldly
You require boldness to take a hold of time and use it profitably. You can have what you want. Don’t live at the mercy of another human being. You have a destiny that is intended to make you a net contributor.
Do you really want it?
You cannot afford to consume your time by watching television and being in every social gathering. You just cannot afford it. Anyone who will spend his or her time on negligible things will end up poor even if they started rich. Do you really want to live your highest life? Then place value on your time and you would have placed value on your life.
Rule and subdue the earth!!
