A favourite song of mine is ‘Gone’ by Switchfoot. (Listen to it here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YISE0wk9XbY&feature=related) While I have listened to it hundreds of times the reality of the song really hit me anew this past week. How quickly time passes, it seems like it was only yesterday when a boarded a ferry away from Thetis Island, BC but look at the time that has passed? What did I do with the time?
I imagine you have heard the saying time is money. It is also said you can follow your money to where your heart is. Now this may seem elementary or like one of those “NO DUHHH!” things, but again, it struck me. If it is true that time is money and you can follow your money to find what you love it is interesting what you might find. What do you love? What do you spend your time and money on? Is it worth it?
These are questions I have been asking myself. To be frank, the results of my thoughts are disappointing. I found that much of what I do isn’t worth the time it takes.
The thing is, it’s hard to change. But the longer I spend wasting time, the harder it is going to be to break out of the mold I have formed by and for myself. I can’t take back the time I’ve wasted in the past, it’s gone. I also know that the present is going to be gone before I know it. It’s time for me to stop wasting time.
Hey Matthew, I didn't know you had a blog. So, remember that time we went to the switchfoot concert? But now that is so long ago, I can't remember if they sang Gone at the concert. They did right?? Well, anyways I enjoyed reading your post.
