"Under the blue canopy of Heaven": An open air workers' handbook
Our days are like identical suitcases, but some people pack more into them than others That’s because they know what to pack. Everybody gets twenty-four hours, but not everybody gets the same return on them. The truth is, you don’t manage your time, you manage your life. Time cannot be controlled; it marches on no matter what you do. Nobody, no matter how shrewd, can save minutes from one day to spend in another. No scientist is capable of creating new minutes. With all his wealth Warren Buffet can’t buy additional hours for his day. People talk about trying to ‘find time,’ but they need to quit looking: there isn’t any extra lying around. Twenty-four hours is the best any of us is going to get. Wise people understand that time is their most precious commodity. As a result, they know where their time goes. They continually analyse how they are using their time and ask themselves, ‘Am I getting the best use out of my time?’ In his book What To Do Between Birth and Death: The Art of Growing up, Charles Spezzano writes: ‘You don’t really pay for things with money; you pay for them with time. We say, “In five years, I’ll have enough money put away for that vocation house we want. Then I’ll slow down. “That means the house will cost you five years; one-twelfth of your adult life Translate the pound value of the house, car or anything else into time, and then see if it’s still worth it.Buy Your Daily Devotional Rhapsody of Realities ’Rhapsody of Realities July Edition
