Hi Leaders of Valor (LOV),
If you are like me, you may dwell on an argument, a disagreement, or someone's untoward behavior for hours, days, weeks, months, or even years after the occurrence. Whether I dwell on it because I wished I would have said more or harsher words in that moment or even if I wished I did more to hurt the other person's ego, I have often replayed events for days...and days...and days until those days became weels, months, and yesrs of wasted time. Have you done the same?
As I replayed a recent event of such magnitude, I rehearsed the "next time I'll say..." moments. During that incident, I was reminded by GOD that time spent dwelling on things that do not matter are a waste of precious moments and time I'll never get back. GOD asked me, "If your life ended today, would this incident matter?" HE knew the answer, yet the question was for my growth. At that moment, I vowed to try my best to let the little things pass me by without giving a person, a situation, or an inappropriate interaction the power to dictate the course of my day. That's not a power I'm willing to hand to situations and people who don't matter in the big scheme of things because those issues or people won't matter when I'm living my last moments on Earth. They cannot have that power!
What about you? Think about it: How much time have you spent on things that were insignificant? How much power have you given people who aren't important? How much time have you wasted by focusing on issues that were not worthy of the limited yet most precious resource we've been gifted - TIME?
Let's vow to do as Moses said in Psalm 90. We must remember the brevity of life and number our days so that we may grow in wisdom. That means refusing to let unnecessary drama and people control our hours, days weeks months, and years. If today was your last day on Earth, what would a review of this day show? Use time wisely. We have so little of it. Don't waste time on frustrations and situations that won't matter when we close our eyes. There are many more important things to do with our time.
Remember to live for purpose, in purpose, on purpose, and with purpose. Be blessed.
Dr. Trin
