Henry Ford famously stated, "Time is money" and in industrial capitalism that is true, in YOUR LIFE that statement is not true. With the consumer fest that is the holiday season upon us I wanted to point out that if you are in the role of employee at an organization, you give them your time and they give them you money. You may in turn swap that earned money for stuff. Some stuff is necessary: food, shelter, clothing. Other stuff is not necessary (fill in your own blanks here)
Now look around at all the stuff around you. How much is truly necessary? And how much is more than a few years old? Every time you give your money for anything - you have swapped your time for it. Time that might have been spent with your children, family, loved ones; pursuing your life goals; searching for meaning; helping others
When you choose to spend your time. Choose wisely
