the most important thing

It is the only thing that you have a limited amount of it. So to share it is the most precious thing we have to give someone, to give a stranger in need, to give to a loved one, to give to nothing- to waste.

Your time.
Use it wisely.
It is YOUR time, no-one else's.
Reach for your dreams.
Know what those dreams are, and go get them, with ALL your heart and ALL your determination.
Don't let anyone, including yourself and your habits, or anything else waste your time; it is yours, and yours alone, and it is the part of your world that you never get back to use again.

How we spend our time tells us (and the world) what is important to us, who is important to us, and what we want to get out of life.

Make sure that the people closest to you know how important to you they are, before your time runs out... right now. We don't know when our time will run out.

Do something before it is too late....

a plan

It has become clear that to get to where we want to go in life we absolutely need to know, beyond a doubt, where we want to go; we need a plan.

Only in the last few years have I had the opportunity to expand my goals and dreams to include the next 10 years of my life. Before that, I had goals, but none set to a time line. I just hoped they would be achieved, somehow, sometime. Now that they are set to a time line I am able to back track in such a way that I know what I need to do, and by when. This being said it is not easy to stay loyal to these time lines, as old habits of procrastination and of our friends and family to keep us in their "safe zone" get in our way and slow us down; hopefully just slow us down and not stop us from achieving the goals and dreams we have, and want to achieve.

Do you have a bucket list? How many items are on this list? What are you working on now, to getting to where you want to be?

The point: make a plan... and do not let anyone steal your dreams, ever! Your dreams are really the only thing, besides God, that is truly yours!
