When we love something it is of value to us, and when something is of value to us, we spend time with it, time enjoying it and time taking care of it.

         Imagine for a moment that your bank suddenly announced this as its new policy:

         Every morning your account is going to becredited with 86, 400 dollars. You can carry no balance from day to day. Every evening, your account will be emptied and whatever amount of your account you have failed to use during the day will be returned to the bank.

         What would you do? Why, you'd draw out every scent of the 86, 400 each day, and spend it, or invest it as wisely as possible. Before long, you could be a very wealthy perosn indeed.

         Actually, you have a bank account with a similar policy. It is called "time". Every morning, you are given the prospect of 86,400 seconds. At the close of the twenty-four hour period, the moments you have failed to withdraw and invest to goood purpose are ruled off your ledger. Time carries no balances from day to day. It allows no overdrafts. Each day, a new account is opened to you. If you fail to withdraw and use the day's deposit, the loss is yours.

         Those sho truly love life use time to the maximum. They make each days count rather than counting days.
