This is Time whenever we use him as a scapegoat for all the things we won't do.
There are twenty four hours a day. That's one thousand, four hundred and forty minutes. This is how only two minutes feel like. How was that? Long? You have seven hundred and twenty fold of that in just one day.
Most of us have stuff we want to do and never get around to doing it because we assume we don't have the time. The truth is- you don't have the time not to do them.
Invest in yourself. Sure, there are tasks that take a priority over others. But keeping your mind and body and heart happy are just as important. How much of your day to you put aside to making you a better person?
Sit alone when you need to, and think about where your life is going. Write down your weak points and what you want to do about them. There's time for that. Read about something written from a totally different perspective to your's. Watch documentaries about the history of places you've never been to. If you've had a good day, write it all down. Don't always trust your memory to remember everything. Look up your beliefs and re-evaluate them. Start from zero, and change them if you need to. Study because you're interested, not just to get a degree paper that will claim you're educated. Enroll in a random online course. Solve a Sudoku puzzle everyday. Take walks. Drink lots of water. Have long, silly laughs with your family. Trust me- there's time for all of that.
Remember the future you is the friend you need to take the most care of!
Need this.
ReplyDeleteI love the last sentence.
you have to give me the link to that online course thing!
ReplyDeleteExcellent post! I've done all things. Still do.

Aww, so true...I really should be writing down and not trusting my cluttered memory. Such a good post!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, really inspiring and true!
ReplyDeleteA really thought provoking post ! The last line is completely meant for me
ReplyDeleteExcellent post! Thanks for stopping by today and Happy New Year! :)
ReplyDeletePerfect start to the new year (: 'twas a lovely post, though I guess at this point it goes without saying... ^^
ReplyDeleteAwesome post. I really needed this stroke of inspiration. I have two exams tomorrow and i just needed this motivation. Sometimes i think reading all these blogs makes me a much better person than I am. Love xo
ReplyDeleteThis is beautifully written, I think a big problem is people procrastinate to much. I know certain times of year I'm much more productive than others.
ReplyDeleteHello Ghadeer, thanks for visiting my blog. Love this post. Time is so valuable and I seem to squander it, even though I keep telling myself it's the one thing I can NEVER get back. And for sure, I can't trust my memory for anything so really rely on notes.Best of luck with your writing! Come back to see me. I'm signing up to follow you--for more words of wisdom. :)
ReplyDeleteSalaam! I agree! I think I need to step back and figure out what is distracting me from acheiving my goals for the day/week and eliminate those distractions. I like to make lists when I have a lot to get done. And I don't do anything that is not on the list until everything is done. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, sorry I haven't been commenting. Ive been out of town and my phone wouldnt let me comment for some reason. =/ loved the last posts, though!

I spend alot of my time worrying ~ lol! It's wasted time and wasted energy. I do journal with my time, though, but if you think about how much time Allah asks us for, it's so small compared to everything He has given us and continues to give us. That is why I need to make some changes in my life in order to follow the straight path that He has laid out for us.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes am too hard on myself when it comes to my worship, though. Sometimes I take myself and life too seriously, when I know that is not the right way to be.
Well, either way, we truly do have enough time to do the things we want to do. With the proper planning, we can lead happy and fulfilling lives by listening to our own hearts instead of always filling it with mindless tasks and facebook, right?! lol
