The greatest resource you have is time - you either spend time or you waste it. Spending time means using it constructively, profitably, and ideally in a way that is fulfilling to you. Spending time might be working toward your success, a dinner with good friends, or sitting and doing nothing. Wasted time is any time spent with people you do not enjoy. Time spent doing busywork with out the benefit is also wasted.

Time is the most precious thing you have. When you allow people to waste your time you let them steal your life. We all have the same 1, 440 minutes per day, but this time is lost forever unless you invest it in your future - by acquiring knowledge, learning skills, making business contacts or enhancing your personal life.

You don't have to respond to the demands of others. Only your value judgments keep you spending your time the way you want. How you decide to spend time has everything to do with the quality of your life and the level of success you can expect to attain. Meditate upon any changes in the way you spend your time that would serve you.
