Don't wait, time is ticking...
By Ronald Curtis Jr
Ok, so this is just as much a reminder for me as it for you reading this right now. Tick, tock, tick, tock, do you hear that? Every second that goes by, tick, tock! How many seconds do we have left in our lives anyhow? That is the question of all questions, and the reality, no one knows the answer. I raise this question, are we doing everything we are capable of while we are still here? Or, have we somehow become passive and taken life a bit for granted? Honestly I think all of us have moments in our lives when we could do more, yet there are other times when we are in the zone and really going at it! Which scenario are you currently experiencing? Let's talk about being in the zone, that is where I prefer to spend most of my time anyhow. Have you ever played a basketball game and just knew you were unstoppable. It seemed as if every time you touched the ball it was guaranteed you would make the shot. That my friends is being in the zone! I don't know about you, however, there is no better feeling than knowing you give your best at everything you do. At the end of the day when you lay your head on your pillow, exhausted, knowing that you met all your responsibilities head on, that is a feeling you cannot replace. Think about it this way. If you were to leave this planet tomorrow, did you give it everything you had while you were here? Would your family be taken care of, or would life as they know it completely fall apart? (Yes they will miss you, that is not what I am asking here) Would you be remembered or quickly forgotten after your funeral? Tick, tock, tick, tock, time keeps on ticking. Life is way too short, let us choose not to take it for granted and maximize what time we do have left right now! If you are reading this, then I thank you for spending the last couple of minutes with me. Now, I challenge you to start living your life on purpose! In Christ,
Ron P.S. That thing you have been wanting to do but keep putting it off until tomorrow? You know what I am talking about, tomorrow never comes does it? Make the decision to do it NOW! You can thank me later.... :-)

One of the things I used to love was cross country running. It was nothing for me to set out and do 40 to 50 miles in a day (sometimes forgetting to turn round at the half way mark!). The trouble with cross country running is that it is an end unto itself. Runners run because that is what they like to do. Runners also like to return to their track and look at what they passed during their run. There is nothing more satisfying than having a great run and then having a leisurly walk to smell the roses that might have been passed. Time is the gift we receive - it is not the collar that we wear like a cart horse. The pleasure and luxury that we can extract from time by being sensible in its use are immeasurable. One man's success is another man's waste of the God given right to live his own life according to his lights. What is it about pleasure that so many people feel guilty about? Yes - the clock is ticking - all the more reason to pile the pleasure between the ticks. One of the worst things I ever heard said about a dead friend was "He was a good provider". The fact that he spent little time with his family so that his children hardly saw him at all was the real tragedy of his short life.
