I don't have the time...

I found a little something today that i thought was really neat, and next time i think i don't have time for something, this will ring in my ears...

"I don't have the time...
But time is all you have. It's the one thing we are given to use as we choose. You can spend it in traffic, or watching TV. You can spend it staring at the little video game man who is having more of a life than you are. You can spend it working yourself into a lifeless shell. Or you can spend it on the things you love..."

I read this today, and although wasn't all that keen on how it judged, it did ring true. You can spend it seeing friends, or staying home, or out in the rain, or on a hill top, a beach, a meadow, wherever you deem important. You can use it as you please and it is the one universal entity that is at your complete disposal.

I guess it all comes down to choice, and priorities. We all get 24hrs in a day, and we can choose how to use it. I used to think people who played video games all day were wasting their lives, but now i know that that is their choice. If that is what makes them happy then who i am to say it is a waste. For me, getting out there, in the elements, seeing the sights, feeling the world, that is my choice. And by doing this i have come to the realisation that choice is everyones undeniable right, and that feels quite significant for me.

If it makes you happy, then it is the right thing to do. I always say "Live the Dream", and now i understand that everyones dream is different, diverse, and able to teach others a huge amount. That i like.
Alot.
