6 to 8 hours of sleep + 6 to 8 hours of school and work = roughly 8 to 12 extra hours… that’s a lot of hours left over.
My question to you is what do you do with these extra hours?
Character, purpose and spiritual disciplines are essential in the development of ones life. These three things sum up the essence of each persons identity. If a person has bad Character and is not disciplined spiritually then he will probably not full fill his purpose. If a person is disciplined spiritually and has a developing Character then he has a good chance of fulfilling his purpose. These three things go hand and glove but they all need to be developed. Now I know we all have to work or go to school and I hope all of you all get at least 6 to 8 hours of sleep but my main concern is what are you doing with those potential 8 to 12 extra hours? Are they being wasted or used wisely?
In those 8 to 12 hours I’m sure includes time for 3 to 5 meals and I’m sure it includes time getting prepared and washed and I’m sure it include time of driving and traveling but that should make up a good 2 extra hours leaving you a solid 6 to 10 hours left in your beginning 24. I hear often times “man, I wish I had more time” what’s funny about this is you have plenty of time but are you using them wisely?
What if you and I were more frugal with our time like some of us with our money. What if we used every minute with a purpose? I wonder how much would really get done and developed in our lives?
Time is the only thing you CAN NOT get back. You can get your money back if you have a receipt even now without one, you can get an ex back if you beg, you can even rededicate your life back to God if you slip but there is one thing you can never get back and that is lost time.
What are your goals what are your dreams? What is it that is burning in your heart to do? Listen You are not waiting on God, God is waiting on you and is considering leaving if you tarry to long, because if you don’t do it or continue to waste time He already has a plan B C D E F G …… ITS UP TO YOU! We have to much time in our day to complain we don’t have any. What about all the successful people with huge corporations and meetings all day and year long tours, they have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay much more on their schedule than you do and they manage, what’s crazy is they have the same 24 hours as you and I do. So why complain? Complaining takes up time!
Think about it…
What if you spent less time on face book, less time talking on the phone, less time caked up, less time clubin on the weekends, less time eating in the café or at the restaurants what if you spent less time doing things that will not give you a return and invest in your future.
Today calculate the time you are using doing certain things and see how much time is either being wasted or being used wisely. Your purpose hangs in how you effectively use your time. Only time, that is used wisely, will bring a return never time that is wasted.
Analyze your life and see how you are using those extra 8 to 12 hours and from this day on live every minute on purpose, not to be extreme with it, because there is time to chill and relax and kick it with the fam and your peoples but if it interferes with something that is more important like your DESTINY then you have to do what you have to do. Remember God is more concerned about your eternity than your earthly life He wants you disciplined he wants you to live life for a purpose and he wants you to have His Character and these are only developed during time used wisely
Today don’t waste time use it wisely!
