I start my post with a number One thousand, four hundred forty. We are given 1,440 minutes each day. So no matter how poor, how rich, how evil, or how righteous that number is the same for every one of us. What makes you who you are is how you spend those moments that you are given.
Let’s break those moments down a little if we can. In an ideal day the doctors say you need eight hours of sleep (I type this out at two in the morning wide awake after just a couple hours). So sleep occupies 480 minutes from our day. Those minutes are filled with dreams, rest, and relaxation. Unless you’re like me the. Those moments are filled with stress, overthinking, tossing, and turning.
Moving on from sleep an average work day is between 480 and 600 minutes. So it’s basically another third of the time God gives you every day devoted to work, being on that grind, making that money. This time allows you to pay your bills, buy what you need, and dream about what you want. If you are wise you have found a way to spend this time doing something that makes you smile.
So far we have accounted for two thirds of the time you are given every day. We have accounted for rest, and we have accounted for work. What we haven’t taken stock in is life change. We haven’t counted the time spent with loved ones, seeing the smile on your child’s face because you’re doing something they have been wanting to do, we haven’t accounted for holding the one you love in your arms so they know you’re not just around but are really “there”. We haven’t accounted the time we should be spending each and every day reading the word of God, praising him in all his Glory, and thanking him for another 1,440 minutes.
What I’m trying to say is that life is measured in minutes, understand that the time you are given is the most precious currency you have. When your time has passed you can’t get it back and you can’t earn anymore. Make your 1,440 count.
Life begins in a minute, it ends in a minute, and lives can change in a minute. Give me a minute and let’s change the world.
I love you.
