Time, time is an amazing thing and a thing I never gave a lot of thought to in previous years in my life. It is one of the most important things in life, without time we have nothing, waste our time on things that don't matter and don't give us anything in return and we have regrets! put our time to good use and we create amazing possibilities & wonderful memories!
I value my time a great deal more now than I did whilst I was drinking, I felt anytime I was not drinking I was just waiting and almost wasting the time I had until I could finish whatever boring or obligatory task I was doing and head to the pub or the bottle shop, thinking about it now, it almost felt as if my life was not complete without having that drink, I wasn't having fun I wasn't living, it's amazing looking back now and thinking about how I had allowed myself to be so consumed by a substance I clearly no longer controlled.
Today is very different, I cherish each and every minute, I plan my days and any downtime I get as anyone who has read my previous blogs would know, I spend with family and spend on projects like this blog. These two things alone are plenty to keep my mind occupied and my drive and passion for life to burn brighter than it ever did while I was drinking alcohol.
I am going to keep this post short as time is something I will be writing about rather often as I use my time differently over the months and years, but one thing I really want to drum home in this post is how important time actually without time we have nothing.
Think of time as the currency of the mind, teach your brain to use time to your advantage to create awesome memories and to plan and set up your life to be more comfortable in future years.
All too often we use our time to sparingly, wasting it on doing nothing to better ourselves our relationships or our life in general.
We all only get one life and we all have the choice in what way we spend the time given to us, just always be mindful that at some stage your time will run out, and will you look be looking back on the time you spent in your life and have wonderful memories filled with achievements & success, or a life of regret, wastefulness & disappointments.
I know the life I had infront of me if I continued drinking and living the lifestyle i was, was not going to be fun, it would not have created happy memories and it definitely would not have been filled with achievements & success. But I left that life behind in February 2015 and my new, better life is completely different, the drive passion and love i have in my life now is all I need to create the wonderful memories, achievements and success.
Success built from failure,
