Thoughtful Timekeeper?

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at MNSU chapter.

365 days in a year.

We don’t have enough time to visit our extended family every year.

12 months in a year.

We don’t have enough time to accomplish monthly goals.

30 days in a month.

We don’t have enough time to make a healthy breakfast each day.

24 hours in a day.

We don’t have enough time to call our moms, even just for an hour.

86,400 seconds in 24 hours

Some days we don’t even have a second to slow down and catch our breaths.

 

And of all that time we have, it still isn’t enough. We still don’t have enough time to get everything we need in. We certainly don’t have enough time to get everything we want in.

Here’s the thing about time: It’s going to start speeding up. It won’t ever slow down even a little. The clock is just going to keep on ticking. Second by second. And it’s our job to fill that time with what matters most to us.

So, you thoughtful timekeeper, give yourself the time to do what matters the most to you.
