Time Isn’t Money

Time!

It’s so important and it’s not like all the other things we have in this world. Clothes, you can give and get back. You can even loan money and even get MORE back than you gave. But time is different. Once you use it, you can’t get it back.

So what will you do with the time you have on this earth? What will you purposely invest it into? We all have those choices: Hang out with friends or finish reading that book. Work out or sleep longer. Learn an instrument or watch Maury. Everything you do requires your INVESTMENT of that resource we call time. And believe me, you will get a nice return on your investment.

Look at your day. What are you investing your time into?
Look at your goals. What will you invest your time into?
Look at your life. Are you getting what you want from it?

Facebook and Instagram will forever be here. Opportunities may not. Even the small minutes you are using on these to “pass the time” or just because you are bored could be well used for whatever else you may want out of life.

Where will you invest your time now?

Challenge Accepted

If you had the opportunity to live your purpose, and then your life became difficult after accepting the call, do you give up?

There is no other choice but “yes” for a man who has a destiny. The movie “42,” based on the Jackie Robinson story could not be more relevant to the human experience. He was breaking a tradition of a culturethe very way of life of a group of people. No he wasn’t just swinging a bat. He was creating acceptance where colored people were once rejected. When men are burdened by the very goals they wish to accomplish and contended by the authorities, the mindsets, and the lives they wish to change, they are continually presented with the question: is this worth it?

But Jackie had a fight, and it was a completely new way of warfare. Armed with the weapon of humility, which was in turn his perseverance and strength, he even had to fight himself by restraining when he could have lashed out. When hit with baseballs coming at him at 90 mph, when denied access to places where he could lay his head, when being called everything but his government name became common and when his morning greetings became death threats, he had to remind himself that this life was not just for him. What he was doing was not just so one man could earn a paycheck—that was already taken care of.

And He also had to love what he was living for. It’s like being in love or being married. It’s what you do when you live on purpose. When the object of your affection becomes your source of discomfort, love is the force that keeps you from reacting out of anger, out of the trespass against your personal principles. It makes you think twice before quitting or even speaking negatively about the very thing you’ve given yourself to. Purpose is the cause within that makes you turn the other cheek when the death sentence seems as the just penalty toward an enemy. But love covers a multitude of sins and the truth will overcome. When you feel like it’s not worth it, are presented with “a better opportunity,” “when someone else can do it better,” when old comforts pursue you stop believing, when intimidation, insecurities, and fears come…for whatever reason, do you choose to quit?

No. You’re destined. You have purpose and if you’re still breathing, surfing the web or reading this blog, then all you have is a destiny, a reason why YOU were born into your specific situation, with your desires, gifts and responsibilities. When the time is right, the opportunity will come. Accept it. And never forget who you are and why you are doing what you are doing. You can’t do it alone and the life you’re living is bigger than you.

Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:12-14 NASB)
