Thing more - Time is an asset, the most important one we have

Time is your most valuable asset, but it slips through your fingers quicker than water. Invest it wisely. Dont invest in those who make you feel like that they dont want to invest their time in you or they are doing you a favour in doing so. You should always invest to make a profit, when you invest in others you should profit by being uplifted, cared for, you should enjoy your time with those people, you should want to continue to invest in those people. Invest time in yourself, your well being, exploring who you really are, learning to love yourself the way you are but also love yourself enough to change that which is not benefitial about yourself. We have a limited amount of time that we can actually invest, sleep, illness etc rob us of a lot of that time. Remember your job is an investment of your time in which your get a financial reward however if you are not receiving an emotional reward as well, then you need to determine if it is worth the investment. There are so many "commitments" in life, these "commitments" are still an investment of your time and are actually, completely, 100% optional. Just because there is an expectation that you attend this event or that does not make it worth the investment and disappointing those with the expectation may be the outcome and unavoidable but in the long run the right decision. I would say that even legally required commitments are somewhat optional however you have to be very cautious in refusing to make that investment, however there may be a time when investing time in this would be more damaging than investing more time later dealing with the consequences and ramifications of refusing to invest initially. You cant save time and build up a reserve, the time you have now is all the time you have, the time flowing through your fingers, is time that can be invested and a profit returned or invested for a loss. We either chose the investment or the investment is chosen for us.

So true, @ClockFace . Very wise words. Once I turned 50 I started to think about how fast time goes. Nothing can make you realise the value of time when you're own age seems to tick over faster each year. I try to slow down. To think about each moment, each day. I don't wish for tomorrow to come sooner anymore. I hope it helps me.

Thank you
