Time Well Spent
-- Ralph Marston

What if you could decide, at the beginning of each day, exactly how your
time would be allocated that day? How many minutes, or hours, would you
allocate for being angry, resentful, envious, frustrated, or consumed
with
spite? Probably not any. It would seem foolish to block off any of your
precious time for such useless and destructive pursuits.
And yet, during the course of each day most people let these things eat
away
at time that could otherwise be focused in more positive directions.
Think
about it. Does that make any sense at all?

The fact is, you can decide each day how your time will be spent. You
can
decide not to let yourself automatically react negatively. You can
decide to
devote all your priceless time to positive, fulfilling pursuits. You
control
your thoughts. You control your behavior.

Before you automatically react to something, ask yourself, "This morning
when planning my day, would I ever have decided to devote my time to
this?"
You cannot control what happens to you, but you most certainly can
control
what you do about it.

Make each response a positive, productive one and enjoy the immense
benefits
of time well spent.
