The Power of TIME and Result.

TIME is a most valuable diminishing resource! What you make out of time shows as
RESULT. Time is the ever present invisible opportunity to create value and Result is
the summary of the use of time. It is time that gives credence and understanding
to seasons’ which is why we can talk about seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks,
months, years and more. The calculation of the use of time is what determines the
value of effort. Result is the name you give to the produce or product of a stipulated
Time. I read in one of my mentor’s books “if you take your bath for 15mins daily by
the time you are seventy years old you would have taken your bath for 4.5 years.”
This analysis and many others startled me to be conscious of time. Even you
reading this, time is at work. Everything we do in life is a tenure, I think its best we
appreciate that and stop being unreachable because your tenure on that task,
assignment, position, project, account or job is LIMITED by TIME and thru the time in
your tenure your results will either be enjoyed or endured only for you to know
when your tenure ends, your real RESULT will show by what the next person will be
doing. Therefore TIME is an opportunity but a diminishing one.

Results create a change but dependant on what kind, result tells the use of time
and have fervent power to recommend, decapitate, promote, attract, challenge and
cause a resolution. Result helps value the trust invested and makes an inroad for
big ticket opportunities. 2010 by 31st December carries a report card of various
events in life, sector, work, institution and ministry. What is yours going to say?

Life is a time game that why it is called lifetime. Every passing time tells us about
how much we have done and how much we need to do. Time affords us an
opportunity to recount and have memories, how many people have you
encouraged?, how many you have frustrated, how many you have embarrassed by
virtue of how you have done your job, lived your life, spent your money, display
your faith, managed your time, show concern, served, your spoken words, your
manners, your dress sense, your family life, your ignorance, your hypocrisy and
your expertise?.

Why is time a diminishing resource?

Simple! TIMES FLIES & FADES! To determine anything or everything in life you need
TIME. Time makes everything history and challenges the present to dictate the
future. Times scores everything be it wealth, poverty, knowledge, greatness etc.
This is the basic reason why no event or circumstance last forever, time will limit it.
Only God is eternal. Ever wondered why we have probation period, promotional
exams, end of day. Work hours, birthdays, Tenure, expiry date or fatigue? Time is a
diminishing resource because the creator said “surely there is an end” and so
he fixed time and sealed it saying there is a time for everything….”. He
said as your days so shall be your strength (Time & Result)
Life is a game! Why? Every game has a life span which upon expiry we see result of
the use of the time in the life span. Look at your CV, Imagine a football final match
or end of year target? Hmmm.. So many things went thru your mind I guess? That is
just a tip of the iceberg into the power of TIME and RESULT. Why is there always a
rush when the time for a task is running out, where does the energy, the ideas, and
the courage resonates from? WHAT WILL BE THE RESULT when TIME is over?

How to use TIME to get RESULT!

A famous scholar said “our lives are like identical suit cases but some compact in
them than others” so we all are entitled to equal time per day but our use is
unequal so our results differ.

Time can either be wasted or invested. Your result will show which category you
belong time is meant to be invested and not wasted. When we waste time all of our
senses cry, we talk it, we see it, we feel it, we hear it, and we even taste it.
Therefore some methods among others of investing time include

- THINK: Time spent thinking progressively is invested if your thoughts are

documented and you are determined to work your thought. Your mind is the
most powerful resource center available to you. Thinking is not worrying.
Worrying is thinking about the things you cannot change which eventually
degenerates to high blood pressure & stroke but thinking is constructively
painting the mental picture of solutions to a challenge. Whatever is too big
for your mind is too big for your hand.

- Exercise and Read: Exercise revitalizes your body since your body is the
home of your strength. The body manifests the physical power of the mind
and reading keeps you in form at all time because as you learn you grow.
Waiting time can be converted to reading time whether in restaurant, lobby,
in a cab or on a queue. Engage your mind and expand your horizon, the
knowledge acquired will speak some day. Every knowledge is a treasure
when its time for use shows up. One revelation via the study of the word of
GOD can save you a lifetime of struggle. Ask Jacob in the bible.

- Observe: unquantifiable education comes via observation. The bulk of what

we see today are recorded experiences based on observation. Observation
broadens your outlook, enlarges your perspective, gives you depth of
understanding and sharpens your wits to make you allergic to opportunities.
Time spent observing an issue of interest is invested and the result will come
with the inference you have drawn.

- WORK: idling away only shows the emptiness inside you, so do something
meaningful always, especially ones that tally with your vision. Idleness makes
you available for experiment. God has been working, HE is still working and
 HE will continue to work. He neither sleep nor slumber, do you now wonder
why HE is GOD?

- Praise and Pray: These two weapons fatten your spirit man for exploits. By
praising you acknowledge your victory and renew your strength spiritually. By
praying you transfer the battle to GOD and enhance your strength for issues
beyond you. Commend & admonish your team.

The summary is this HAVE YOU BEEN WASTING or INVESTING TIME? Your result will show
how you used your time this year and what will your result look like by this time 2011.
Remember time ticks progressively which indicates that we ought to progress with time and
also know that time is passing away and the tenure is elapsing! What will be our result? Will
the boy you were be proud of the man that you are? Those who look forward go
forward, backbiters remain behind. Don’t stay at the back move forward!
