Enjoy every minute of it. We must be present and focused as it is a rare delight.
We don’t know how many days we have left on this spinning globe so it’s best we squeeze every ounce of joy out of our moments together.

Enjoy The Passage Of Time
That may be the best description of life’s purpose.
I heard Jimmy Carr say this recently. If that was all you did your whole life, you’d probably be one of the happiest people on the planet.

Timing
A second earlier and that car may have hit you. One minute later and you might have been part of the robbery.
Getting to the event one hour early meant you could speak with the keynote speaker in person. Being born in a western country after 1970 meant you have lived way beyond the experience of 99.9% of all humanity that ever existed on Earth.
Timing. Good timing can be invaluable.

Times Up!
Deadlines are wonderful things. They help to ensure something gets done. However, often we fool ourselves into thinking we have time before we really need to start, or it will be fine, or even the deadline is not a hard deadline.
Try that thinking with life and death.
Should you really leave it all to the last minute? If not, then you better treat everything else the same way. Don’t put it off. Don’t wait for disaster to be right around the corner.
Attack every minor item on your to do list with gusto and get it done now! Otherwise delegate or delete it.

10 Years
What seems impossible in one year could be totally possible in 10 years. Being at the top of your sport, industry, or craft in just one year is highly unlikely. However, if you put 10 grinding and effective years of work in, to training and honing your skills, you certainly could be at the top.
You can build a billion dollar business in 10 years. Go from being 10 years old and dreaming of playing in the NHL, NBA, MLB, or Premier League and in 10 years, at the age of 20, be playing for your favourite team! The Beatles were only together for 10 years and look how well they did!
What if you dedicated the next 10 years to personal growth, systems and structures? What could you accomplish, achieve, create?
10 years…. You could achieve anything.

Best Time?
Was 1920-2000 the best 80 years in history to be alive? One may be able to make an argument for it.
The greatest wealth increase per capita seemed to happen in this period. There were huge social changes and great technological changes too. Voting rights and laws were improved. The tv, radio, airplane, medicine, peace, and the internet all became ubiquitous in this time. So did indoor plumbing and electricity!
There was no 24/7 information access. There was no AI. Jobs and houses were easier to come by in that era.
Perhaps this century is an even better time?! It depends how you look at it.

Down Time
Enjoy a bit of time all too yourself. Be sure to carve it out and hold that time in your day. Otherwise, you’ll work, sort out kids, parents, friends, do admin, side hustle, charity work and that Board you’re on and forget, or run out of time, for you.
Guard your down time!
