“Time is one of the greatest
teachers but unfortunately it kills all its students” - Louis Hector Berloz 1803.
A lot of us are unaware that we live on borrowed time so to speak; any visions or dreams we have planned to achieve have to be fulfilled before it runs out or before it is taken away, literally. Many of us postpone a lot of things that would perhaps give us the life we want or answer the dreams and visions we have. We procrastinate with the mind-set that we will look at it later; we will get time to do it there is no rush and forgetting that later might never come.
One important thing to consider is that, “time wasted is golden” and getting it back is never an option. May be it is one
chance in a million one may be tempted to think. That is a lie, it is not even a possibility, once it is gone, and you will
never get it back. The chances you get can never compensate the time you lost. If it does come, it is never the same as before. Why not
use every single opportunity you have to make the best out of each second,
minute and hour. There is no painful thing as regretting
never using your time wisely and postponing everything for later.
Paulo Coelho sums up this point nicely in one of his novels The Alchemist, "Postponing things for later is like promising yourself or others what you do not have yet, therefore in the process you lose your desire to work toward getting it." At the end you risk wasting a lot of time. The courage to move forward and attaining your goals and dreams is entirely on you, receiving the fruits of that is for you to enjoy. So stop procrastinating, thinking that things will turn out great and it is just a matter of time. NEVER, whose time are you talking about? Is it the same time that you and I are unable to control? Remember this is borrowed time!

The dreams you have cannot and will
never be achieved without putting the necessary effort to make them come
true. Take note also that, your dreams and goals are connected to TIME;
the amount of time you invest in them also concludes the results you get. If
you invest an hour into a lifetime vision or dream you will surely get an
hour’s worth of it. Some people have a million
ideas in their heads on how to be successful or be better than what they
currently are or at, but the truth is that those ideas are worth nothing if you
do not invest the necessary time. Put in the time and you will surely enjoy the
fruits of your work.
The next step from dreams and visions being connected to time is that, they are also connected to hard work. For many this is taboo, hard work never seems to exist in both their vocabulary and in their daily lives. Ask yourself, how will you achieve anything without putting in the time and hard work? You won’t achieve anything. I know smart heads are already mumbling easier said than done, but bottom line is if you are not disciplined you will never move, you will always be stuck in one place, again wasting a lot of time.

At this moment tell yourself that
time wasted is golden and you will do all in your power and might to use all
the time you have and stop complaining. No-one can do it for you. Your parents;
guardians and loved ones can only take you thus far and the rest is all in your
court. GOOD LUCK!!!
“To realize one’s destiny is your
only obligation. All things are none”. Paulo Coelho
