Kind of puts things in perspective..

Imagine that you had won the following prize in a contest: Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400.00 in your private account for your use.

However, this prize has rules, just as any game has certain rules.

The first set of rules would be:
  • Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you.
  • You may not simply transfer money into some other account.
  • Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400.00 for that day.
The second set of rules:
  • The bank can end the game without warning; at any time they can say, Its over, the game is over! They can close the account and you will not receive a new one.
What would you personally do?

You would buy anything and everything you wanted right? Not only for yourself, but for all the people you love, right? Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right? You would try to spend every cent, and use it all, right?

Well actually, this game is REALITY.

Each of us are in possession of such a magical bank. We just can't seem to see it.

The MAGICAL BANK is TIME!

Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life, and when
we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us.

What we haven't lived up that day is lost. Yesterday is gone forever.

Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time....WITHOUT WARNING.

SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds?

Those seconds are worth so much more than the same amount in dollars.

Think about that, and always think of this:

Enjoy every second of your life, because time passes by faster than we realize.

So take care of yourself.

Be Happy, love deeply and enjoy your life!

    I read this somewhere else before. It was worded a bit differently but this one is just as good.

    It definitely does put things into perspective. Thank you for posting this.

    Yeah my mom sent this to me in an email, I instantly knew it was something worth sharing on here. The original email was kind of hard to understand so I made changes as needed.

    Glad you enjoyed the read!
