EPISODE 1: What is time REALLY telling?

(To those who don't like theirs hot, pardon the bias)

When you boil water for tea/coffee, you know how you like it really hot? - yes I do too

And how that the warmth creates a unique taste and soothing feeling in your body...

After boiling water this morning, a concept dropped in my mind.

(Stay with me)

Sometimes, some us don't fill our mugs completely with the hot water,

while some even fill it to a quarter level and dilute it until they are satisfied.

What stood out for me is that for those who use more hot water and fill the mugs halfway, they dilute with more quantity.

But those who fill their mugs with less hot water dilute it with less quantity.

(Of course exceptions come if you drink yours really hot)

So,

The more the hot water = the more quantity of water to dilute

The less the hot water = the less the quantity of water to dilute

This insight further proved that time has a direct relationship with quantity.

Time might seem to always be on the move, but it moves your investments as well

↳ (be it negative or positive).

Time might seem to wait for no one,

but it compounds your investments and pushes them to the future to wait for you.

Now how does this concern you, you might ask?

↳ If you are spending time on anything now, know that it is an investment that will be compounded into minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years saved or lost.

So, if you spend a chunk of your time doing things that will not profit you,

know that the future will demand you to work more!

But each day you do an "ROI time investment" with

• Yourself

• People

• Places

• Things

(even animals),

Have it in mind that you are SAVING in the bank of time.

Picture this...

• You decide from today to spend 3 hours a day to learn and build yourself in your career and purpose and 10 hours (split into bits of 30 minutes, spread across each day), to practice what you are learning...

In 90 days, 270 hours would have been spent of self development and 900 hours of practice.

With this fact, you save an extra 120 hours of intellectual learning in just 2 months!

Now, think of what you would become when you start practicing!

So, "What is time REALLY telling?"

→ It is telling you that you have 4 more...scratch that. 3 months and 22 days left in 2024

→ It is telling you to connect with Value Adding Personalities (VAPs), not Value Draining Entities (VDEs)

→ It is telling you to think of what the future you would say to YOU now and do it!

Time is REALLY telling you to spend time investing in yourself now, so you can save time spending tomorrow.

What lesson(s) did you learn from this?
