Control Time

We Need To

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 12 months ago 1 min read
When We Control Our Time, We Control Our Lives

“Guard your time fiercely.

Be generous with it,

but be intentional about it”

A famous King once said:

“Of all the losses,

time is the most irrecuperable

for it can never be redeemed”, (Henry VIII).

“Time”

is the one ‘element’ in our Lives

which we can never get back.

We can only ‘Control’ our day

through planning,

but once gone,

we can never get it back.

We want to fill our Time with

Positive,

Happy and

Strong ‘events’.

We need to be Sensible and Wise

in how we fill our Time,

either alone

or

in the company of our loved ones and friends.

At the end of every day,

think about what ‘YOU’ have done

and the effect it has had

on ‘Your Life’.

Was it Positive?

Was it negative?

The busier we are

in Positive activities,

the less room there is

for negativity.

Let’s be ‘Passionate’

about ‘how’ we fill our Time

and ‘who with’,

so that we will always

have that

Positive influence in our Lives.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
