Time - How Do You Manage It?


Thanks to one of our leaders Michelle Daugherty for sharing with me.

If you had a bank account that credited your account each day with $86,400.00, that carried over no balance from day to day, allowed you to keep no cash in your account, and every evening cancelled whatever part of the amount you had failed to use during the day, what would you do? Draw out EVERY cent, of course!

Well you have such a bank and its name is “Time”. Every morning your account is credited with 86,400 seconds and every night it rules off, as lost, whatever of this amount you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balances. It allows no overdrafts. Each day it opens a new account with you. Each night it burns the record of the day. If you fail to use the day’s deposits the loss is YOURS! There is not going back. There is no drawing against “tomorrow”. You must live in the present, on today’s deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in HEALTH, HAPPINESS and SUCCESS!!
