86,400

Someone sent me an email the other day with a good "food for thought" story.  I don't know who originally wrote it, but I wanted to share it with you.

Imagine that you had won the following prize in a contest: Each morning your 
bank would deposit $86,400.00 in your private account 
for your use. However, this prize has rules, just as any game has certain rules . 

The first rule would be: Everything that you didn't spend during 
each day would be taken away from you. You may not simply 
transfer money into some other account. You may only spend it. 
Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with 
another $86,400.00 for that day. 

The second rule is: The bank can end the game without warning; 
at any time it can say, "that's it", the game is over! 
The bank can close the account and you will not receive a new one.

What would you personally do?

You would buy anything and everything you wanted, right? Not only for
yourself, but for all people you love, right? Even for people you don't
know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right? You
would try to spend every cent, and use it all, right?

ACTUALLY This GAME is REALITY!

Each of us is in possession of such a magical bank. 
We just can't seem to see it.

The MAGICAL BANK is TIME!

Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life, and when
we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us. What we haven't lived 
up that day is lost forever. Yesterday is gone forever.

Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account
at any time....WITHOUT WARNING.

SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds? Those seconds are worth so much more 
than the same amount in dollars.

Think about that, and always think of this: Enjoy every second of your life, 
because time races by so much quicker than you think.

So how are you spending your 86,400 seconds?  Who is controlling your 86,400 seconds, YOU or YOUR BUSINESS? 

If it's YOUR BUSINESS, then we need to work together to make it YOU. It can be done.
