On more than two occasions my mobile phones had been stolen. And each time it hurt me to the marrow. Because I usually felt cheated each time my phone got stolen.
No one ever thought of losing their property but it happens. The one that was the most painful to me was the phone I used just for two days. I got it on Saturday and used it on Sunday, pheem, on Monday it was not my own again. I nearly had psycho because I could not explain it, it was like a miracle.
One of the reasons I don't usually like thieves stealing my stuff is because of the value I usually place upon anything that I own. And the first thought that usually comes to mind is they would not know the value.
Most times thieves never lose and usually, they don't care about the value of what they stole. Hence, they sell it at a ridiculous price. Even if they stole a phone that worth let's say seventy thousand, they can sell it for thirty or twenty thousand. Meanwhile, the owner will never sell it that low. And the difference is that one cares about the value while the other doesn't know the value hence care not about it.
One of my friends once told me that whatever one values one will always find time to do it. And I heard this from my pastor, 'whatever you care about, you place value upon.' So the point is how much do you value your life? If you place value upon your life then you will care about it. And if you care about it you will place value upon it.
Many don't really care about who they are, what they have or what they will be. You can easily find out from the way they live their lives or their perspectives about life.
Let's take time, for instance, no one who values his or her life would ever joke with time. Knowing fully well, that time belongs to nobody.
If you value your life or what you are going to become you will never joke with time. Because time is the gap between what you have now and what you are going to have, where you are now and where you are going to be. In other words, the distance between here and there is time. We must always endeavor to make every minute or even seconds of our time count.
Because what many don't understand is that the seconds will roll into the minute, minutes to an hour, hours to a day and on and on like that till it roll to a year, years to decades. That time you fail to make count will eventually tell in not too far future. We are all in time as humans and we must do whatever is it we desire to do in time.
If you place value upon your life or you care about your life, you will never joke with time because time after time, the time has told us both in parable and plainly that it belongs to no man. Once you are able to understand this you realize that you save time by using time and not the way you save money.
And one of the ways to save time is to understand the power of saying 'no.' You can't help everybody, you don't have to be in every party, you don't have to watch all matches or movies, you don't have to turn a cinema to your second home. Understand the power of saying no simply means avoid any form of distractions.
Distraction is what makes some people waste their time on things that do not really matter. Setting your priority right will go a long way in helping you to say no. Successful people understand the power of time even the so-called internet fraudster never joke with time.
We must begin to realize that we don't have all the time to ourselves, that which you ought to do today never leave it till tomorrow. Tomorrow's activity is there waiting.
Again, if you value your life and that which you desire to be you will value time.
I once wrote a few liners poem;
"The difference between here and there is time
And it is time that will tell the time of time
It's time to consume the time for that which edify
because the time of time might be too late."
Remember, keep being you and keep being good.
Remember, keep being you and keep being good.
