Tshepo: Time is Money

Do you sometimes feel like time is against you in terms of your financial status? Do you feel you have seen and perhaps reached the fine line between the Prime Time (a Slowly trend) and Peak time (abundant cash flow) of your financial growth? As you get older do you wish you could’ve done something’s different in the early stages of your life whether being money decisions or certain things that were simply a waste of your time? Well maybe now is the time to stand up and do something about it, time waits for no man.

I once read a quote that says “Being rich is having money and being wealthy is having time” – and ever since I heard it, guess what I’ve been investing in more, yes you guessed it, Time. The reason I do this is because time is not of abundance as money is. Money inflates and goes down in value ever so often, but time is one thing that you can only be control of for that particular moment, as you don’t know when it will run out.

Most people coming up in Business invest a fair share of money and lots of time into their ventures and the worst thing that one can do is to not put enough of both. Time comes with valuable and priceless lessons; although can money really teach you the same stature of lessons? Franklin Roosevelt once said “Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort”. Money alone cannot make one happy, although what it does is give you the time to do all that you want to do and pay others to maintain what you least fond of – therefore giving you the access of time that you need and require.

The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all your money, what determines that though? Time right, well the whole point of this article is for me to show you the importance of time and money in that order. Why money becomes hard to make when you don’t invest enough time to learning the rat race. But the most important point that I want to drive home is the fact that time is one gem you can never get back, and money is at its abundance at all times. So the next time your boss says’ Time is Money, look at him and say this quote to him “Waste your money and you're only out of money, but waste your time and you've lost a part of your life”

Thank you for taking the Time to read this article, now start investing time in all that you do. I merely produced this as conversation and a brief write up not to tell you which of the two is important but much rather as a platform for you to further dig deep and research what is most important to you and which one you lack at this point. This is not a step by step article for a reason. You are the designer of your own destiny and faith and only you will have the right answers about this matter, better answers than I would in most cases. So get up and take initiative and start awakening that hidden gem inside of you, there’s not much left, or maybe there is. You will once again have the better answer than I would.
