Today is a king in disguise. Let us not be deceived. Let us unmask the king as he passes. ––Ralph Waldo Emerson
When we want to change our finances, we should change our weekly schedule. The content of our hours determines our conditions. Money problems are abundant for those who spend time without purpose.
We reap what we sow. Our conditions reflect our time.
“Don’t say you don’t have enough time,” advises H. Jackson Brown Jr. “You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.”
We may have twenty-four hours in a day, but we don’t use the hours with equal value. We must schedule uncommon hours into ordinary days. We must the plant daily seeds for financial prosperity.
“The value of life lies not in the length of days,” said Michel de Montaigne, “but in the use we make of them. A man may live long, but get very little.” Ordinary lives are the result of ordinary hours.
“Time management is the sun,” Brian Tracy said, “and everything else revolves around it.” Our weekly schedule reveals our purpose.
Benjamin Franklin wrote: “Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that’s the stuff life is made of.”
Time is also the stuff our conditions are made of.
