Decisive action

The potential value of time is always coming your way, yet it’s also departing just as quickly as it arrives. So you must be clear about how you intend to utilize that potential.

Don’t waste the one resource you can never get back. Be sure to make good and meaningful use of the time that comes to you every day.

You’re never going to get another opportunity to live this day. Keep that in mind when choosing how to invest its irreplaceable hours.

That doesn’t mean you have to spread yourself too thin. It does mean you would be wise to fill each day with as much richness and purposeful activity as possible.

As you go through the day, you have the ability to transform fleeting moments into enduring value. Always keep that in mind as you set your priorities and make your decisions.

The minutes are quickly passing right now. This is the time, with decisive action, to make them count.
