“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 Waitley

“Forgive yourself before you die. Then forgive others”
Morrie Schwartz ( Tuesdays with Morrie p.164)
______________________________________________________________________________________
Why is it so important to forgive ourselves? Why is it so important to forgive others as soon as we can?
Forgiving ourselves and others is an act of letting go, it is also an act of selfishness because when we let go, we let go of the emotions that are poisoning our day. Who needs these emotions? Shouldn’t we use our limited time and energy for more exciting activities?
Morrie said “Forgive yourself and others before you die”
But since we don’t know when we are going to die, why not forgive NOW?
If we know that we will eventually forgive, why wait?

“No matter how small and unimportant what we are doing may seem, if we do it well, it may become the step that will lead us to better things.”

Socrates said many years ago “A life unexamined is not worth living”
Well, why is it that most people don’t take the time to quiet their minds and take a look at their lives?
Why don’t they don’t ask themselves some important questions like;
Who am I?
What do I want to do with my life?
What are my natural talents or skills?
What makes me happy or unhappy?
What am I afraid of and why?
Who do I like to spend time with?
Do I like my job and why? Why not?
Why am I afraid to change my job?
What can I do to improve my circumstances?
What do I control and what don’t I control?
How much time do you invest trying to answer YOUR important questions?

I must figure out what I have control over and what I don’t have control over.
So what do I have control over?
I have some control on the choices that I make here and now.
In every 24 hour period, I try to make the best choices possible with the knowledge, the resources and the opportunities that I have.
Every minute, well not every minute but as often as possible, I try to become aware of my thoughts and my decisions. When I try to choose correctly at every moment, I should have a good and productive hour, when I try to choose correctly every hour, I should have a good and productive day, when I try to choose correctly every day, I should end up with a good and productive week, and month, and year and decade ….
What control do you have over your daily choices?
