DON’T waste your time and don’t waste other people time. Time is moving and does not wait for no one. BY JONAH NYONI Last week I said some people are going old, but they are not growing up. Growing up is a choice. Time is moving, and you are growing old. You might waste your time, but time will reveal your mediocrity. There comes a life in time when you are feeble, frail and powerless, but there is nothing to show for it. When I was in my teens I thought I would do everything when I am in my twenties. It didn’t take long, I was in my twenties, but there was this lie which said life starts at forty I made myself believe it. I have discovered that life starts when you live consciously. One day all of us will die, what will be remembered of you? What will remain in your name? Don’t waste time on people that don’t invest positively in you. Don’t waste your time on people that do not respect your significance. Don’t waste your time on people that are not serious about their time, they just want to eat into your time. Most people want you at their mediocre or average level and they will make an effort to waste your time through frivolous activities that do not add value.

What matters is how many hours you spend slumbering. Enrich your minute to enrich your life. Time will expose you The way one uses his or her time shows where they are going. Time used positively, will yield positive results. Some have said time is money. If time is money, money is not the only available currency, but time is one of the currencies. If you use your time badly now, expect to receive a similar result. Count your minute Ecclesiastes states well that there is time for everything (Ecclesiastes 3) and I should think this is not just a time for anything. There is a gap between an important thing and an urgent one. Do not delve into trivialities, but into matters of worth and substance. If it’s not urgent, not important and not in your schedule don’t get involved in it. Invest in your time, value it and manage it. At times things might need urgency yet they are not important in making you realise your dream. To risk partaking in them is simply risking the downfall of your dream. You plan your time to plan for other things. Time the most valuable currency We do everything in the realm of time. If you fail to do a thing in its season you endure the pain of tying to recover. If you do a thing out of season more effort is needed. Time has to be budgeted for and this proves time to be the most valuable currency. You might be having all the
