WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH ALL THIS TIME?

"What is your name and how old are you?"

It was 1987 as my Grade 1 teacher asked me with a smile.

Identity and Age - why these 2?

I could understand why my identity was important,
For them to identify and for me to be identified.

But Age??

Age is a measure of the time we have existed.
It rationalises our achievements to a common standard.

We all have 24-h"ours" in a day but what we do with it,
Mostly remains "our" choice.

All the things we do, require time.

Time is therefore a fundamental ingredient for all our endeavors,
Hence our existence is measured against it.

It is a measure of our choices.

Therefore if you choose to do something,
Make time for it.

This is the first step of showing up.

Exercising....needs time.
Relationships....need time.
Praying....needs time.
Work...needs time.
Learning needs time.

Often, we list things we want to do
But neglect to allocate time for them.

Resolutions do not mean anything,
 If we do not allocate time to the things you must do!

Success or failure is first and foremost a result of what we consistently do with our time.

Show me how you use your time,
I will tell you your potential outcome.

Note that the word "potential" here refers to the limit of what you can achieve.

The first step to changing your outcomes is changing what you do with your time.

"What is your name and how old are you?"

Yet as adults, a silent question always follow:

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH ALL THIS TIME?"

(- watch TV, really??)
