..Tick.. Tick.. BOOM!

How much do you think an hour of your time is worth?
Take into consideration:
That you're functioning at your maximum capacity and living to your full potential 24/7.. you sweat excellence and doze with an agenda..
That you've worked your entire life.. every hour up until this very second.. to live THIS hour in the best way you can..
That with each passing moment you are getting better and better and better.. because your soul is hardwired for progression.. that you're either moving forward or backwards.. and if you're working your guts out there's no way you're moving backwards..
That every second you spend doing something to better yourself helps you increase the value to your hour..

Now add to the mix that life is short... that there are only so many hours to live.

A diamond is forever. It's the symbol of love.. class.. and wealth. It's prettttyy safe to say that diamonds are extremely valuable.
Now if when you went to a playground.. the gravel.. or the little ugly bark thingys that they have now.. were replaced by diamonds.. you planted your flowers in straight diamonds.. and used diamonds to file your nails.. clearly their value would diminish. This magnificent sparkly rock.. would be just that. a sparkly rock.
The value of a diamond is so great because they're hard to obtain.. there are a limited amount.
If diamonds paved the streets.. you better believe i wouldn't put one on my finger.. we as a society would pick a new sparkly rock to worship.

I love sugar... who doesn't. It makes life better. You can buy it anywhere.. and you can get it cheap.
Now imagine a world where there was only one bag of sugar left... TOTAL!! Never to be made again! The value of it would be priceless!! No one would be able to pay enough money for something that was so incredible and so rare.

Simply because there are less of something available.. the value of it increases tremendously.

Life is short. there are only so many hours to live. Every hour is like a diamond. like discontinued sugar.. the value of it is priceless.

Now have a moment of honesty with yourself..
How are you wasting your diamonds? Pouring your precious last bag of sugar down the sink?
How are we spending the hours of our lives?
Is it worth it?

Like the 'tool test' i did in my last post.. there are many things that i could put in front of you to help open your eyes to the value of your own life and time.
- every trial .. add 90 points..
- every year of wisdom added through school.. add 100 points..
- every time you've applied something you learned.. add 100 points..
- every time you've learned from a mistake.. add 100 points..
- every time you've given your all.. add 100 points..

But there are an infinite number of things that you would be forever adding to your list.. and i would be wasting your time and my blog space.
Too many of us spend these precious hours worrying.. crying.. feeling sorry for ourselves.. gossiping.. and trying to figure out ways do to the least amount of work possible and obtain the most from it.. thats retarded.

Think of your life as a job. For the value you bring to every hour of your life you are paid a certain amount of money that's put into a bank account that you can cash out at the end of your life to use in the life after..
would you be in debt?

The most important thing in your life should be the relationships you form with other people.
Are you surrounding yourself with people that are worth your time? Are you giving the people that you love the most the time they deserve?

A man that spends his precious life in an office.. without his family.. loving his computer and his iphone.. will end life in debt.
The same man that puts in the hours at the office.. and gives his family every precious hour he has outside of it.. loving them to death.. will end life with a WHOLE lot more money in this bank account.
School is important.. jobs are important.. sports... music.. they're all important.. but when we break it down.. the only things that matter.. are the relationships we form with those we love.

When you think about it in dating...
Why would you go on dates with guys you aren't interested in? Why waste your precious time and his.. when you both could be using the same time to find someone you ARE interested in..?
Why spend time in relationships that are 'comfortable' at best.. that you KNOW aren't going to work out.. yet you don't want to end it in fear of losing the comfortability..? The second you KNOW something isn't right.. get out of it! Your time is too valuable to spend it wasting your life away with someone that doesn't make you happy! On top of that.. in any form of detrimental relationship you add hours of worry.. anxiety.. even hours of just trying to figure out what the heck is going on! Relationships shouldnt be THAT hard! Simply being with someone shouldn't feel like work..
Yes you have issues.. everyone has issues.. and working through legitimate FIXABLE issues isn't a waste of time at all! in fact its in these hours that you grow the most.. together and individually. But there are solvable issues... and dumb issues that can be solved if both of you realized that hey.. this isn't working. We're wasting our time trying to fabricate a relationship that both of us can agree is tolerable at best.

Guys get SO offended when a girl wont go out with them because she's not interested.. GUYS.. SHE'S DOING YOU A FAVOR! Get off your male ego high horse and realize that she has just made an executive decision for both of you that she doesn't need to waste your time and money when she absolutely is sure that it wont go any further than you buying her dinner.
The whole "give him a chance" thing..? are you people on crack? If you're not attracted to someone.. then you're not. If someone isn't what you want.. then they're not. Attraction can GROW.. but be friends until that point! When there's anything mutual.. then duuh.. it changes things.

Girls.. don't be afraid to say no to a date that you have no interest in going on. and don't wait around.. wasting hours of your life away waiting for some guy to call you back when.. if it wasn't right for him.. it will be for some other lucky guy!

Don't be so hurt when something doesn't work out! It's a blessing in disguise!

And when you form a relationship that you DO see going somewhere.. then give it the time and effort it deserves!
We are in a time in our lives that dating sucks.. everyone agrees. But we're making it waaaaay harder than it needs to be.

So many people stay in relationships to avoid the sting of loneliness... kiss people to make sure they aren't getting out of practice..
If you're being the best you... you wont be lonely long.. and then hey.. you'll get all the kissing practice you need!

Make a list of priorities in your life.. and prioritize your time accordingly.. remembering that PEOPLE are worth more than THINGS.. and those you love will help you shape your own character.. bringing further value to each second of your life.. and those you associate with by default probably wont add to your self worth as much.

Don't spend time with people that make you worse. Spend time with people that make you want to be better!

Don't nap or cry or worry your life away.. spend it loving and living and laughing and striving to be the very best you that you can be! Work HARD to jack up that bank account waiting for you when you bite the dust.
Live the CRAP out of every hour you have.

Until Later.. xoxox
