What is the value of time?

This post will tie in to work I will do later. It is important to pay attention to detail. I have noticed that some threads change from the original intent. This may be perfectly acceptable in many circumstances. This thread will be open ended, in other words, free-form. Please take it where ever it goes.

When one thinks about time, does one consider the value of a minute or an hour? What is your time worth? Can a value be put on your time? If so, what would that value be?

I could really elaborate on this but I'll keep it short for now. Precious minutes for me turn into hours and there is nothing that I value more than time. Everything I do is based around time and a big pet peeve of mine is time wasters. By wasting time we cannot have anything. Growing up I remember hearing being told so many times "don't put off tomorrow what you can do today, yesterday is history" from my parents. It resonates with me and is how I live my life today. I cherish every minute I can spend with family, friends and what little time I usually have for myself. Living in that moment and those warm feelings of togetherness are the memories that are the most valuable to me. I have a lot of friendships also through my business contacts that I enjoy very much and I can't place a dollar amount of so many of those relationships. In business my time is minutes and it's all accountable but I also give much away happily as I always know that it is appreciated and has always come back to me in tenfolds.

We have a gift to live our lives to it's fullest, to be kind to one another to benefit us and our neighbors.

I'm sure that everyone realises that Time becomes more valuable, as your age increases.

If one second is wasted, it cannot be recovered.

One second wasted in your younger years, does not seem to be as valuable as in your Golden Years.

As I regularly state: Enjoy Every Precious Moment

This is what I don't understand about all the Negative members.

The time that they have lost, complaining about the RV.

Has it helped?

2,040 hours in a 9 - 5 work week. That is 23 % of your life.

If you make 20,000 a year, that's $10.00 / hour.

$50,000 = $25 / hour.
$100,000 = $49 / hour.
$500,000 = $245 / hour.
1,000,000 = $490 / hour.

What's your time worth? Is it worth more or less than someone elses? What is the time worth that another invests in you? Do you appreciate value? Do you use your time wisely to create value?

Just a note for clarification. The 2,040 number includes one paid week off in a year.

"There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven."

Is not the duality of the verse profound? Everything under heaven! Do we recognize in our daily lives that each moment has a purpose. When we are in that moment, do we fully commit our intent to that one thing? Do we reflect on the mystery of that moment, briefly before moving to the next? To we take our lessons well, and apply the wisdom to future moments? Before we enter another moment, do we still our mind and dedicate ourselves fully to the purpose at hand?

Considering the value of time...

Stop and think, be honest, how many hours over the past year, or however long you have been in Dinarland up to one year, have you devoted to Dinar related activities?

What might have happened if that time had been used to develop a business?

Sometime tomorrow I will post an exercise to help you get going. It will be in the general section. It is a homework assignment for anyone interested. It will be the first aspect of a learning exercise that will build from this. It is amazingly simple yet very powerful.

Your time is one of the greatest gifts that God has given you.

I am reminded of the parable of the talents everyone has the gift of time, it is a gift ,how much of it is wasted on the world with no purpose not benefiting anyone, even yourself. I guess the best example would be how Jesus used his time and compare our life to that.Getting to the ultimate purpose of life depends on how much we love God and others. doodoo quoted the beginning of Solomon's view on life here on earth here is the end of the book.
Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Ecc 12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
I have more to say but will have to add later.

Lately I'm thinking about that.

Also, look at the Hicks tie-in to purposeful time segmenting (power of thought).

Time is Priceless, the stuff of which our Life is made-- True value in life.

Living in each moment in the Presence of The Divine, empowered by His Spirit, manifesting its fruit, honoring and glorifying Him... Loving people as He does... Blessed and a blessing...

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow, but a dream... Today, well lived, makes each yesterday a good memory, each tomorrow a vision of Hope..
