Time...

"Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you." - Carl Sandberg

It seems as though there aren't enough hours in the day to get things accomplished. We've compromised our health by giving in to our tiredness by visiting fast food restaurants or "preparing" instant meals. "But it's easier, no hassles" you tell yourself.

Think of it this way - in the time it takes to drive to a fast food restaurant and wait in the drive-thru (because you know there are others with a similar mindset) and finally drive home, you could have prepared a simple meal at home that would taste 100 times better than any fast food fare.

"But I don't have time to exercise" is another excuse I have heard lately. I think when people hear the word "exercise", they imagine some huge production that takes at least an hour to complete.

I submit this - can you find 10 or 15 minutes to walk around? Have a stressball at work? Squeeze that ball 20 times in each hand (10 reps/2 sets), there's your exercise. It doesn't have to be an involved process. 10 minutes of exercise is better than no exercise at all.

You can find the time to make a good meal or exercise, you must be committed to that end...


"Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow." - Denis Waitely
