TAKE YOUR TIME BUT DON'T WASTE IT.

Good day, Hive!

How's it going? Happy new April!
This is my first time making a post here.🤭 I really hope this meets you well and hits the right spot.

Yes, my title. I like to explain my reason for the choice of my title before really delving into the main deal.

So this day, I was seeing a movie titled "Abbatoir" and it is quite funny that the person that made that statement was actually hurrying someone to do something fast to cover up his tracks.

The context in which that statement was used wasn't appealing but the statement itself. It made sense to me and I thought to write about it.

"Take your time but don't waste it."

I know you have heard so many adages about 'Time' such as:

"Time is precious!"

"Time waits for no man!"

"Time can't be reversed or recovered once lost!"

All these and more are very correct statements about time.

You see, the unit of destiny is time.
How well you use your time determines how well tomorrow will turn out.

However, so many people use their time in different ways to suit different purposes.
There's a popular saying that 'the end will justify the means.'
This could also mean that your results will show what you have used your time to do.

Now, this is my point...

Tick, tock! Time is running.
You would not always have the time to do all that you have to do now later! Does it make sense?

'Later' will never completely replace 'Now.'

Time runs with strength. The more you grow, the more strength you use and dissipate.
There might be time later but strength might not be available...

Now, you have both time and strength.
So you see why you have to be very discreet with using your time and strength wisely.

Now, many people are supposed to have launched into doing so many great things. But in their own terms, 'they are taking their time.'

Like I mentioned in one of my writ here, it is great to take your time and not rush.

But be very sure about the reason you're stalling on doing that big thing...

Are you really taking your time? Or other circumstances are behind you not pushing through your goals?

Resources. Lack of a Compass. Procrastination. Laziness. FEAR. Insecurity. Low self esteem and what have you.

THE GIANTS.

Get rid of whatever baggage that's weighing you. Sometimes you have to face the giant headfront.

Facing the giant takes discipline.
Now, no discipline brings joy but later on it will pay off handsomely. (ref: Hebrews 12:11)

A giant you ignore and run away from 'now' will find a way creeping in 'later.'

I just want to encourage you that time is the essence of life!

There's time for everything...
You can do the right thing at the wrong time and vice versa!

Please, take your time but don't waste it.

Anything worth doing at all is worth doing well and doing it right on time.

It's better done now than later.

I hope you get to know the difference between now and later. I hope you use your time appropriately. I hope you learn discipline with time.

Need I say that discipline is an herculean task. It's not going to be easy—plain truth!

But you'll be happy you did whatever it takes to drive to your desired destination!

I know I have said a lot. I just hope one thing appeals to you!

Take your time but don't waste it.

Cheers!
