Time is a Gift- Day 5 of 30 Days of Positive!



Imagine for a moment that a bank suddenly announced this new policy:


"Every morning your account will be credited with $86,400. You can carry no balance from day to day. Every evening your account will be canceled, and whatever money you have failed to use during the day will be returned to the bank."


What would you do? Why, you'd draw out every cent of the $86,400 each day and spend it, save it, or invest it. Before long, you could be a wealthy person, indeed!


Actually, you have a bank account with a similar policy. It is called time. Every morning, you are given the prospect of 86, 400 seconds. At the close of that twenty-four-hour period, the moments you have failed to withdraw and invest into a good purpose are ruled off your ledger. Time carries no balance from day to day. It allows no overdrafts. Each day a new account is opened to you. If you fail to withdraw and use the day's deposit, it's your loss.


Those who truly love life use time to the maximum. Make your days count rather than counting your days!
