One afternoon whist writing my book Arise and Shine I heard two older gentlemen talking outstand my dining room window and I was very intrigued by their conversation. One of the men was telling his friends how he wished he had used his time wisely and actually did the things he wanted. He was now in 70s and he was not able to do all the things he could have done when he was in his 20s. He spoke about how wonderful his life could have been if he used his time wisely, were he could be living, what car he would be driving, what sort of people he would hanging out with. He was nearly 75 years old and he was looking back at wasted years, he was looking back at the time he used to go out partying instead of working on His dream. He was looking back at his youth with regret and he could not turn back the time, I looked outside the window just in time to see the two men go their separate ways and I could see the disappointment in the man’s eyes.
This is the story of so many people around the world today, they spend the majority of their time not working on the things that matter. A lot of us think we have time on our side but we don’t take in account the fact that every day that time is ticking away and a day will come when will not have the time or enough time to lead a quality of life we could have lived. Whenever you look at your at your dream and you think of putting off for tomorrow, I want you to remember that in a few years’ time you will be looking back to this day with gratefulness or with regret.
