Time Quotes

    “When we’re forced to do something, suddenly the time is there.  Which means it’s there all the time, but we’ve just chosen to limit ourselves by believing that it isn’t.  Ever notice how if you’ve got six months to do something, it’ll take you six months to do it, but if you have a week, it’ll take you a week?  Once you understand that time, like the rest of your reality, is in your mind, you can make it work for you instead of being its slave.” ~ Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass

      “It never ceases to amaze me the precious time we spend chasing the squirrels around our brains, playing out our dramas, worrying about unwanted facial hair, seeking adoration, justifying our actions, complaining about slow Internet connections, dissecting the lives of idiots, when we are sitting in the middle of a full-blown miracle that is happening right here, right now.” ~ Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass

        “If we want to be high-functioning and happy, we need to re-learn how to be still. When we feel like there isn’t enough time in the day for us to get everything done, when we wish for more time… we don’t actually need more time. We need more stillness. Stillness to recharge. Stillness so that we can feel whatever it is that we feel. Stillness so that we can actually enjoy this life that we are living.” ~ Christine Carter, Greater Good

          “Understand the value of time. Life ends up being really short, no matter how long you live. You can recover money, you can rebuild houses, you can re-buy glassware — but you can’t get back time.” ~ Nick Crocker, Medium

            “The greatest reflection of your priorities is your time. Whatever you say about what matters to you, the true test is where you place your time. So if you say your priorities are your partner or your kids or your family or your health, that statement will only be true if your calendar reflects it.” ~ Nick Crocker, Medium

               

              “Given the choice, would you rather save time or money?  Most people focus on dollars. But how you spend your time is much more important than how you spend your money. Money mistakes can often be corrected, but when you lose time, it’s gone forever.  Your priorities determine how you spend your time, and time is precious.  The following statements may help you put time in perspective:  To know the value of one year… Ask the student who failed the final exam.  To know the value of one month… Ask the mother of a premature baby.  To know the value of one week… Ask the editor of a weekly newsmagazine.  To know the value of one day… Ask the wage earner who has six children.  To know the value of one hour… Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.  To know the value of one minute… Ask the person who missed the plane.  To know the value of one second… Ask the person who survived the accident.  To know the value of one millisecond… Ask the Olympic silver medalist.  Your time is priceless.” ~ John C. Maxwell, Today Matters

                “Your journey has molded you for the greater good, and it was exactly what it needed to be. Don’t think that you’ve lost time. It took each and every situation you have encountered to bring you to the now. And now is right on time.” ~ Asha Tyson
