INVEST YOUR TIME WISELY

Time is the one resource we all share equally, it is one of the major equalisers of nature. Everyone has it in equal amount, but how we choose to spend it determines the quality of our lives, our success, and our fulfillment. Unlike other resources, once spent, time cannot be regained or recovered, and that is why investing our time wisely is one of the greatest favour we can do for ourselves, and the ultimate key to a meaningful and productive life. 

Time is a non-renewable resource, money can be regained, opportunities can resurface, but time moves in only one direction. Every minute wasted on distractions, procrastination, or negativity is a minute lost forever. You must realise that time is your most precious asset, and spend it on what truly matters. Eliminate activities that waste your time from your schedule. Be intentional about how you spend every minute. Mindless social media scrolling, excessive entertainment, toxic relationships, and indecision drain your time.

The best investment you can make with your time, is in yourself. Knowledge and skills compound over time. Spend an hour a day learning something valuable, whatever it may be. In five years, that daily hour will translate into something beyond ordinary, it will become expertise in that area you have decided to invest in. Time spent nurturing relationships with family, friends, and positive minded acquaintances pays lifelong dividends. Endeavour to surround yourself with people who make your time with them worth the while.

The best time to invest wisely was yesterday. The second-best time is today. Do not wait for the perfect moment to come, it does not exist anywhere. Small, consistent actions compound into extraordinary results. You are the architect of your own life, and time is your most valuable material. Invest it in growth, love, purpose, and in building a life you would be proud of. As Steve Jobs once said, "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards." How you spend your time today, will determine what you see when you look back tomorrow.

To a better you, Kamikun John.
