If Only Time Were a Renewable Resource

Imagine if time could be renewed, recycled, or extended. A lot of us are struggling to fit everything into the 24 hours of every day, and some little bit more would be great to have. Often, our schedule is chock-full of work, family, personal projects, or even just rest, and there seems never to be enough time to do all we need to do.

It seems like I am racing against time and can never accomplish all that spills over into the next day. Upon reflection, however, it dawned on me that the problem actually does not lie in the lack of time but rather in how I manage the few hours that I have.

Whatever is limited needs to be planned and prioritized, just like any other resource. The time we have is fixed, no matter how much we may desire more of it. Another essential fact to remember is that once lost, time cannot be retrieved. We cannot turn the clock backward, nor can we retrieve it; hence, every moment is valuable.

This issue is especially important to remember for young people because sometimes youngsters feel like they have all their time in front of them. Hours, days, or even years can pass by uselessly without any sense of direction or purpose if not utilized wisely. Fpr many young people, time usually brings to them regret at a later stage of life when they realize that the opportunity for learning, growing, or starting new projects has slipped away.

Mostly in life, at one stage or other, we seem to think that we have all the time in our hands. But, as most of us grow to understand, time often passes from beneath our feet much quicker than we tend to envision, and if we're not careful, that backward glance may bring regret for not pursuing that business, getting that education, or taking that risk while the time was ripe.

The bottom line is, planning and executing our goals within the time we have is critical because usually, missed chances never return. Sometimes, all of us would want to turn back the clock, take back some of our actions, or live some moments all over again. Since this is not to be or possible, the best thing is to live intentionally, making the most of every day and every opportunity.

The wise usage of time is one of the most best choices we could ever make as it leands to a life of no regrets and to the satisfaction of knowing we tried to make the most of our days. While time can hardly be renewable, we can still make the most of it within our disposition, in a meaningful way, so as to make every moment worthwhile.
