TIME IMPACT SERIES | INTRODUCTION |

Posted by : Dele Agbogun Posted date : November 10, 2013 In Marriage 0

The subject of time is critical to every area of our lives. There is a sense in which time affects these areas. It ticks like an eagle with wings which cannot be tamed to one place.

This time factor and the changes it brings our way needs to be clearly understood. Otherwise, we will be attempting to use yesterday methodology on today’s trend of activities. You may possibly get some results, but obviously never as much as you would have if you have upgraded yourself. This brings me to the need of keeping your mind continually flexible and adaptable. This will help your openness to continuous learning. When this is in place, it helps your successful transition from one phase to the other in every area of your life. When this is not the case, it has the potential to ruin that area of your life. But for the purpose of this post, I intend to narrow it down to family life. But it is a principle that applies to every other aspects of our life.

There is a need to have certain mindsets about time before we go into specific areas in your family life.

1. Everybody have equal number of hours in a day, irrespective of your age, status or location. Dennis Waitley said; “Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can’t buy more hours. Scientists can’t invent new minutes every day”.

2. Most people don’t optimise the use of their time. You must resolve to have a good handle on your time management. William Penn said that; “Time is what we want most, but what we use worst”.

3. Time is not considerate of how you feel. It certainly doesn’t wait for anyone. You may delay in your case, but time will not.

4. Realising that the way things are at the moment will obviously not be the same one, five or ten years down the line. Family, people, places and time are variables you will experience as you travel along this route that is premise on time.

The next post will start focusing on specific areas in family life. Welcome on board as we travel through this adventurous journey.
