By Jackie White Seasons of Love (525,600 Minutes) Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes Five hundred twenty five thousand moments so dear Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes How do you measure? Measure a year? In daylights, In sunsets, In midnights, In cups of coffee, In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife In five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes How do you measure a year in a life? How about love? The song Seasons of Love from Rent, is a great reminder that life is all about time and how you spend it. One year from now what will be different? Do you have goals you were hoping to accomplish this year? I know, we are supposed to talk about this stuff in January and then forget about it in February - right? So, let’s get to the truth of it all, the only thing we have is time - that is, until our time runs out. Each year we get 525,600 minutes. Some people change the world in that amount of time! Some people are disappointed that “another year” went by and yet the goals remain untouched. The weight is still on, they are still going to the unfulfilling crappy job or they didn’t get together with friends and family as much as they had hoped or maybe their kids and spouse aren’t getting attention they want to give them. But how do you find the time? What single thing could possibly change the constant wasting of time? And whether you mean to or not, it is a wasting of time when you are not giving attention to those things you find important in life. The antidote to that is living life with intention. When you live life with intention, you can change your life quite drastically. Today is the day you can begin living life with intention. Here’s how you do it: ONE: Identify what are the goals you want to accomplish.
