If I asked you, “What is the most valuable commodity?” What answer would you give me? You may respond with “gold,” “oil” or the “Apple iPhone 20” with the telepathy application set to release in 2020 (don’t bother Googling iPhone 20, I’m just joking around here). Or, you may take it a level deeper and respond with more practical commodities, such as “food,” “shelter,” or “water.” ...Or you may respond with an emotional answer such as “love,” “health,” or “family.” These are all excellent commodities and are extremely valuable, even priceless in many instances.

However, what if
there was a commodity that could interconnect all of the responses above. What
if, we responded with “time?” Time is a commodity that we cannot buy. Once we
use it it’s gone. There is no additional source, unless you are one of the
privy few who has invented time travel, but even time travel may have
unexpected consequences.
Time is valuable,
because our lives here on earth will eventually end. Ponce de Leon’s fountain
of youth, hasn’t been channeled to reflect the water’s mysterious powers to the
rest of us to provide immortal powers. The more we understand that time is the
most valuable asset, the more we cherish it. The more time we want to spend
enjoying life – cherishing moments with our family and friends, accomplishing
bucket list items or doing whatever activity makes us feel free and alive.
Whatever your
activity is, it may not necessarily involve “work.” As time becomes more valuable,
especially as we get older and have less of it; time becomes even more special.
The time we have is precious. How we choose to spend it may determine our
overall happiness and fulfillment in life.
As time becomes
more important, it’s valuable for us to cherish it doing activities that we
ENJOY and SHARING those activities with people we love. We don’t want to look
back one day in our old age and go “I wish I did that,” or “too bad I didn’t go
here.” Additionally, we are not going to say “I’m really glad I saw every
episode of Entourage.” It’s the moments, such as experiencing the first snow
fall, taking a long hike, or teaching someone how to set up a tent that we will
remember. These experiences are valuable and help us grow in our own life
journey and reward us with passionate memories of life.
