The most precious and valuable resource today is not real estate, it is not gold, it is not sex, it is not oil or gasoline.
The most precious and valuable resource is time.
Time is more valuable than money.
You can make more money, but you cannot make more time.
Time is perishable, and the decisions you make about how to spend your time will largely determine the quality of your life.
The decisions you make about how to spend your time will determine how efficient you are at your work. The decisions you make about how to spend your time with loved ones will determine the quality of your life in your relationships.
Time is the great equalizer.
We all have the same 24 hours in a day as everyone else.
No matter how much money you accumulate, you cannot write a check at the end of your life and purchase more time.
In my quest to discover what makes someone 1000 times more successful or wealthy or more fulfilled than someone else, I found many secrets that the leaders of every field already know.
Great leaders are great time managers.
For most people, the vast majority of waking hours are spent at work. Let me clarify. Most of your LIFE is spent at work. Therefore it is imperative that you are engaged in work that you truly love. This doesn’t mean to quit a job you don’t enjoy, rather get to working on an extra stream of income in the subject of your passion and start working towards YOUR dreams, not someone else’s.
The foundation, the philosophy of The Time Commandments is to honor TIME as a precious resource. This means making a study of Time Management and Life Management. This means working on yourself more than you do your business. This means re evaluating your values and priorities so that you are assured your life is moving in the direction of your greatest desires. No one can do this for you. Once you learn this formula for success, you will gain clarity, confidence, energy and excitement. You will naturally and effortlessly integrate it into your everyday life.
You must invest in yourself. Invest time into reading books and teachings (like this one) and invest in audio programs that help you learn and grow. Master your time and you will reach your goals faster than you ever thought possible.
Next, you must follow your bliss.
Your Goals should revolve around your passions.
When you are doing what you love, your work bypasses your brain and comes directly through the heart. Oprah Winfrey knows this. Bill Gates knows this. Warren Buffet knows this. Tiger Woods knows this. Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin knew this. I know this. In fact, my bliss lies in talking to you right now, and helping you make positive changes in your life.
How can you incorporate more of what you value, more of what you love into your daily life?
"If you want to make rapid changes in your life, you must arrange and design your life so that your GOALS and DREAMS are at the FOREFRONT of your days, instead of them being an afterthought." -Jill Koenig
Most people think that following your bliss is something you do after everything else is done. To experience true joy on a day to day basis, make a habit of incorporating your greatest loves into your days everyday.
Don't be like most people and suffer through the day Monday through Friday and try to squeeze in morsels of fun and joy during the weekend. You might have to rearrange some things or even eliminate things to make room for more of what you love but it is well worth it.
Have you been treating TIME as a precious rescource?
Or are you going to wait until a tragedy, death or illness gives you a wake up call?
Think of 5 ways you can begin to incorporate your bliss into your life everyday.
Do one thing today to get started.
Do it now.

Put Your Trust in God Entirely From the book: "Conversion of The Church" By Sam Shoemaker
Put Your Trust in God Entirely God speaks in six great ways: in nature and creation; in the moral law; in the Scriptures; in Jesus Christ; in human conscience; and in history. All these things are, of course, forever imperishably true. And all of us know them to be true, and have known it for years; yet many of us believe no more now in the practical Voice of God than when we first heard them.
