All You Have Is Time

April 30th

“Nothing, Lucilius, is ours, except time. We were entrusted by nature with the ownership of this single thing, so fleeting and slippery that anyone who will can oust us from possession.”

—Seneca

Letters From A Stoic

The only true possession we have is time.

It's a unique gift that nature has bestowed upon us, but it comes with a catch—it's incredibly elusive. With each tick of the clock, it's slipping through our fingers, and we can lose it to countless distractions unless we guard it fiercely.

Have you ever thought about how you're spending your days? Are you letting trivial matters or the agendas of others steal your precious moments?

Treat every second as sacred. This isn't about meticulously planning every moment or fearing its loss. It's about mindfulness and intention.

When you wake up, do you reach for your phone to scroll through social media, or do you pause to decide what truly matters that day?

Next time you're about to commit to something, ask yourself if it’s worth your irreplaceable time. Is it serving your goals, your growth, your joy? If not, perhaps it’s time to rethink how you let your minutes, hours, and days slip by.

Your time is your life's currency—spend it wisely.
