Fast Forward into the Future

Each of us has the same amount of time, rich or poor, young or old.  We often heard people said that time is money but do we really realize that without time we certainly could not spend the money to get what we want. Time is actually the most important ‘raw material’ in life. We can save any other type of raw materials for future use but not time. Time cannot be saved for later use. Time is irreplaceable as we never make back time once it is passed. It is not how much time we have, it is how we use it for our priorities.

No one can manage time but we can manage those less important things that take up our time. Goal-setting in all the six areas of life – financial and/or career, health, education, family, social and spiritual would enable us to visualize what we would be in the future – like a fast forward into the future. Create plan of actions. It would make us able in a way ‘save’ time as we will always know what to do next. Our effectiveness and productivity both as individual and as part of the larger community will be increased significantly when we have the habit of setting goals.

Just a gentle reminder that we need to be able to roll back to the present time. As our past is something we can learn from and our future will be determined by what we do at the present time. Start setting goals, create plan of actions and carry on with our activities according to their priorities and impacts to ourselves and others.
