Time

I was reading this chapter on stewardship and it talked about how we use our time.

The more scarce something is, the more valuable it is. Gold would not be precious if we could pick them up by the side of the road.. and in a similiar way, time would not be so precious if we never died..
What a way to look at things but there is truth in it..

It occured to me that I've been a bad stewart of my time. Agonising through situations I cannot change or dwelling in history to a certain extend (like what Ndrw said) I guess often I do that not because I like to, but because I'm unhappy about the way certain things turned out and I .. am guilty of thinking too much..

It also said that not only is time short, but what remains is fleeting. When I stop and realise that 293 months of my life has gone by and I'm only left with perhaps 300 months if I die at 50yrs old.. is a truly morbid thought.. but in reality thats not a long time.. month after month goes by with a flip of the calender..

So guess as much as I'm reminded, I should embrace the discipline to make not simply full use but good use of my time and thoughts that pass with it.

Like the 2 men who were chopping the tree, the one that had more rest managed to chop the tree in a shorter time.. because he stopped to rest and stopped to sharpen his axe..
