This might make ya’ll think.
Life is real short.
Life is not really long.
Let’s say the average person 30 years old.
If you’re 30 years old, you’re not but about 7 years old.
How can I prove it?
Add up all the 7 8 9 hours you slept for 30 years.
Out of 30 years add up all the nights.
Last night you went to bed and woke up this morning, you don’t remember a thing.
You’ve been unconscious for about 8 years if you’re 30 years old.
You’ve slept about 8 years.
How much travelling have you done in 30 years?
The television station to home, to another country to another city, to school, to church.
You’ve probably travelled 2 years, your life was spent just getting back and forth
of to you’re going.
So there’s 8 years of travelling, 2 years of sleeping, there’s 30 years of your life
before you accomplish anything.
How long do you sit in school?
In America, we stay in school from the first grade to the twelfth grade.
Same here?
Six hours a day for twelve years, break it down, you sat in a classroom for three years
without leaving.
Okay two years of travelling, eight years of sleeping, three years of school, how many
movies have you went to?
How many wrestler matches?
How much entertainment?
How many movies, theatres, live plays, baseball games?
Probably 2 years of entertainment.
So you add up all your travelling, add up all your sleeping, add up all your school,
add up all your entertainment, you probably been half your life doing nothing.
So by the time you have children, by the time you’ve made a way for your children, by
the time you’ve paid for your home, you’re pushing 60 years old.
I’m thirty five years old.
30 more years I’ll be sixty five.
In those thirty years I have to sleep nine years, I don’t have thirty years of daylight.
I have to travel back to America take six seven hours, all my travelling, and probably
for four years of travelling in the next 30 years.
About 9 years of sleeping.
Television, movies entertainment, about 3 years of entertainment.
Out of 30 years, I might have about 16 years to be productive.
So it’s how we can all break individual lives down.
I want you to look at this sand timer, and let this.
I want you to think about your life.
The sand in the top of the glass represents the future.
The sand in the bottom of the glass represents the past.
Now you know, we know what’s in the past and yet we can’t do anything about it.
You know what the trick is?
You don’t know how much sand’s in the top of the glass.
You may think you have a lot, you might only have a little.
Then again you may think you only have a little, but you might have a lot.
And I have found that people that win, are the people who make up their mind, they’re
not gonna waste the minutes.
They’re going to be productive.
They’re going to make it happen every minute.
What are you gonna do with the time you have left?
What are you gonna do?
I say, that if you don’t reposition yourself, you could miss the best time in your life.
If you don’t know what time it is, time will get away from you.
And you won’t know where it went.
I have only just a minute, only 60 seconds in it.
Forced upon me, can’t refuse it, didn’t seek it, didn’t choose it.
But it’s up to me to use it.
I must suffer if I lose it, give an account if I abuse it.
Just a tiny little minute, but an eternity is in it.
