Taking Advantage Of Time And Using It In Your Favour

It is true that everyone has time equally, but how it is used is entirely dependent on each person. There are things that are bound by time, which if their times passes, it may be rendered invalid. For example, in agriculture, there is a time to plant. If that time passes, going to plant your crops may lead to poor or no yield. It is by aligning with time that you gain the blessedness of the moment. Life has fairly given everyone equal time. It is now left for you to give back to life by utilizing your time well. The truth is that a time that is lost has gone, so use time wisely.

There are things that happen with time and season. Understanding of time will make life easier. Time is a very valuable asset that if understood and taken advantage of, will bring benefits to you. Many people may complain about lack of opportunity but if they look well, they will realize that time itself is an opportunity on its own. During our school days, on one of our vacations, while many students were doing things that are not worthwhile, we organised ourselves (a group of 7 students) and started community services.

We started from the neighbourhood and then proceeded within the locality. In the one month of engaging with these services, we created impact within the neighbourhood and not just that, the tips we got from people that normally appreciated our good works were what we used as "pocket money" when school resumed. While others wasted their time on irrelevances, we engaged our own for something profitable. Throughout that particular session, we did not run out of money because we had saved what to take us through to the end, and even had enough to give to others. You see, everyone was given the same amount of vacation time, but the results that were gotten differed because of how the time was spent.

I remember a similar story that a friend of mine told me. If you stay in this part of the world, you would have already known that ASUU (Academic Staff Union of Universities) has been on industrial action strike, which has put a very many of University students out of school since February. At the start of the strike, many people hoped that it will be called off soon so that they can return back to classroom, others also stayed docile and waited for action to be taken. However, a friend of mine told me that she wanted to learn how to sew clothes - and that was in February. She enrolled in a fashion academy within her neighbourhood and utilized her time effectively.

This is almost about 7 months of the strike and it is yet to be called off, but she has graduated from her 6-month fashion tutorials and now sewing clothes for people in her house. While other students may be busy with other things, she used her time to acquire a skill that will be putting money in her pocket. Now when the strike gets called off and they resume school, she will have what to depend on instead of waiting for friends and family to assist her through financing her academics.

Those that invest time make profit in life. Right from where you are, you can turn your time into something worthwhile and use it for your benefit. Just as opportunities do not wait for you to ready, time does not also wait so that you will get ready to take actions. You should stay ready and then take the opportunities as they come. The actions that you should take today, it is not good to procrastinate it to a later time. Procrastination does not only waste time but it kills opportunities. What you have to do now should be done now so as to get the maximum result.

Many people that complain of lack of opportunities are only unawares that time is an opportunity. They wait for when an opportunity will arrive as a opportunity but they sit and watch time go by. It is worthy to note that anyone that cannot maximise time itself will not be able to maximise an opportunity even if it is handed over to them. So as you go out each day, remember that time is among the very essence of human existence and should not be wasted on inactions or doing things that are not worthwhile.
