The Price of Submission

Everything has a price. Each time we make a decision, we may have to decide to forgo a second mutually-exclusive alternative. Often, our time is the price that we pay.

Time is the currency of our very existence but it is also the great equalizer. Each day each of us-- young or old, financially well-to-do or struggling, male or female--receives 24 hours, or 1,440 minutes, or 86,400 seconds to invest how we choose.

We can spend the time on nonsense or we can invest the time in ourselves, in the ones we love, in our passions.

We can also simply get up and go through the motions, because doing the same thing tomorrow as we did today is comfortable, convenient. But did your actions and intentions get you where you wanted to go today? If not, then do you honestly think that spending your time on those same actions and unfulfilled intentions will garner you any additional satisfaction tomorrow?

Have you actually accepted decisions made by others, and have conformed your actions to work toward their success at the peril of your own peace and your own success? Could it be possible that you made an initial decision because you truly believed that you could achieve your objectives, and only later discovered that your investment of time had become a waste of your time?

Tomorrow you will get 86,400 seconds to invest...or to spend wastefully.

TODAY'S QUESTION: Are you investing your allocated time for YOUR benefit, or to simply pay the price of submission for another individual's benefit?
