If there ever was a waste in life, it would be that of a second. Seconds move so quickly that we seldom value them at all. If only we realized how they are the building blocks of life, then perhaps we would not waste so many of them. On their own, seconds are insignificant, although…
The Value of One Day
Where did the day go? How many times have we asked that question and wondered where all that time went? Most of us never plan out the day yet we all want more time. That is the one thing we will never get because there is no such thing as extra time. What is more…
The Value of One Year
Age is a foolish thing to control, foolish because it is one thing completely out of our control. In periods of life, we want to be an age that we are not. Children try to be as old as they can, claiming eight and half years old rather than eight. For the person who will…

Life is hectic. But how much of the rush is caused by our own decisions? After thinking about it, most of us can readily admit this is true. When you acknowledge and take responsibility for your decisions, you can identify things done on a regular basis that create your rushed lifestyle. Here are three simple…
