"It is already end of Feb, and we didn't get to know our targets yet! The year is flying by...!" We all feel the "need of time" when it comes to target achievements! In the corporate world, I know quite well the frustration generated when "targets setting" is taking time and getting quite late. You do feel that everyday passing in the year is a lesser chance/opportunity for you to deliver on the agreed targets expected from you and the team. "If I only had just couple of weeks more..." A statement you don't wanna see yourself saying in December..late action on your goals leaves you with fewer months to perform and excel..and you don't want to end short of achievement because you only didn't have time or just wasted what you had! It is true, I also feel the time pressure when we do get close to a due date...i guess you can even link it to your days of studies..when the exam was knocking on the door, the most valuable thing becomes TIME that you might have wasted in the early few months of the year.
No wonder the writer of Ecclesiastes (سفر الجامعة)-an amazing book in the bible- draws our attention to not waste the days of youth..the early days of your life..the first few months of the year...the time when DO have time and life in front of you. We have seen lately lives "cut short"..young women and men departing before we thought they would...this puts even more time pressure! The verse goes like this:
Remember your Creator while you are young, before the bad times come—before the years come when you say, “I have wasted my life.” (Ecclesiastes 12:1 ERV)
فاذكُرْ خالِقَكَ في أيّامِ شَبابِكَ، قَبلَ أنْ تأتيَ أيّامُ الشَّرِّ أو تجيءَ السِّنونَ إذ تقولُ: «ليس لي فيها سُرورٌ». (الجامِعَةِ 12:1 AVDDV)
One thing for sure I don't like hearing myself saying.."if I only knew earlier..if i only acted when i had time..wish I could turn back time!"
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for the days you have blessed me with and I pray that the remaining ones are lived for you, for the goals you have set in front of our eyes..for the days, hours and minutes that pass by..passing by acting for the Glory and a Better life You have promised. I know it is NEVER too late with You..Give me the strength to start NOW. In Jesus Name, Amen!
Make each day worth it, my friends!
