When asked "what's the biggest mistake we make in life?", the buddha replied, "This biggest mistake is you think you have time.".Time is free but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. And once it's lost you can never get it back.
That average person lives 78 years.
We spend 28.3 years of our life sleeping. That's almost a third of our life but 30% of us struggle to sleep well.We spend 10.5 years of our life working but over 50% of us want to leave our current jobs.
Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you can never get more time.We spend 9 years on TV and social media.
We spend 6 years doing chores.We spend 4 years eating and drinking.
We spend 3.5 years in education.We spend 2.5 years grooming.
We spend 2.5 years shopping.We spend 1.5 years in child care.
We spend 1.3 years commuting.That leaves us with 9 years.
How will we spend that time?
Steve Jobs said "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life."So there's good news and there's bad news.That bad news is time flies, the good news is you're the pilot.
