TAKE ALL THE TIME YOU NEED
Friday, July 30, 2021
 
 
Time spent is time served.
 
Now that depends on where you are, what you’ve done – and you can never be sure whether you’re in for a treat or a disappointment.
 
It could be prison, marriage, indentured servitude, or being trapped in a lifestyle career choice gridlock of impossibility. The CEOs, the homeless ones, the brave ones, and the cowards – are captives of something, both equally simple and complex.
 
Time spent.
 
Time invested.
 
It’s just time – no matter what you call it, we are all equal in that we have the same amount every day, our daily allowance. At the end of every day, however, we’ve used or wasted our time, we reset to zero – and then midnight comes, delivers us another 1,440 minutes, another gift, another day.
 
How many things can we do in a day?

WHATEVER WE DO
Hello Mark, I like the idea of making a choice to be positive.  I’ve been accused of having rose coloured glasses but now I shall just inform people that I’ve made a choice to wear them, MJ from Ontario    
 
Right on my friend to the North!!! We choose. Such a simple little lesson, but it becomes more and more important, GB, Waukesha, WI
