Decisions Are Footprints
Decisions are footprints we leave in the sands of time. We are remembered by the impressions we make in the lives of others, created with the use of our time. We cannot escape decisions. To not decide is a decision. Each decision leaves an impression. Our decisions are marked with each tick of the clock!
What is the point? Decisions create our legacy. Positive decisions move us and others forward. Negative decisions hold us back and can hurt others.
We complete our legacy with the impressions made with our time. Think!
This is productivity strategy #63 from the book Attack Your Day! Before It Attacks You co-authored by Mark Woods and Trapper Woods, time management experts.
When Time Windows Close
A time window is a period of time that brings with it an opportunity. Once that window is closed, the opportunity is lost. For example, an elderly couple regrets not traveling while they still had good health. It could be a person saddened because they lost a loved one lost to disease and didn’t cherish the time they had together. Or, parents look back with sorrow because they didn’t play with and enjoy their children while they were young.
When time windows slam shut and we didn’t live the opportunities, we experience time remorse. Good time managers live the windows of opportunities and end up with great memories. “Memories are times that you borrow to spend when you get to tomorrow” (from Paul Anka’s song Times of Your Life).
Are you looking at a time window soon to close? Is it time to make a memory? Is it time with a loved one?
Quote: “But what minutes! Count them by sensation, and not by calendars, and each moment is a day.” ~Benjamin Disraeli
