Know
the Value of Time
If we take care of the moments, the years will take
care of themselves.
In order to effectively use any
resource, we should be conscious of its value. If this consciousness is
missing, we will not be careful with the use of that resource. Time is a
valuable resource, but we are not conscious of its passing since we don’t see
this resource through our eyes. We are able to see other resources such as
money, petrol and water to know what the balance is. But we can only feel the time passing, if we choose to
do.
Do you know how long one minute is? Do you know how long is five minutes? Do this exercise to understand how
unconscious we are about the passing of time.
Close your eyes and resolve not
to open your eyes for two minutes. Stop reading this page and actually do this
exercise. Most of you would have opened your eyes before two minutes! You would
have felt restless and anxious to know if two minutes were over. Do this
exercise every day, gradually increasing the duration up to ten minutes. Over a
period of time, you will become accurate in noticing time passing. This
consciousness will make you to value your time as a scarce resource.
