Your life is a collection of minutes.
Moments in time and moments of time.
They are your minutes to be used however you see fit. They can be powerful or inert. Meaningful or meaningless. Memorable or forgettable. It’s all optional and it’s all up to you. If you live to eighty, your minutes will total forty-two million. Give or take. Of course, you’ll be horizontal for about fourteen million of those but you’re still left with a pretty handy and considerable twenty-eight million of the awake variety. Like yesterday and the day before, today you have one thousand, four hundred and forty minutes at your disposal. Given that significant things can be achieved in a minute or less, today presents you with a myriad of opportunities to do something positive and powerful that could impact your life or that of someone else. A life-changing decision, a courageous acceptance, a courageous refusal, a creative question, a humble apology, a generous offer, a brilliant idea, a non-negotiable commitment, a first step, a kind smile, a forgiving gesture or even a loving hug can all be the conscious outcome of just one of today’s minutes.
Powerful or inert. Meaningful or meaningless. Memorable or forgettable.
It’s up to you.

Great post. Tonight I read 8 books to my Autistic nephew just before bedtime. Character voices and all.
In the 40 minutes of reading with him from a totally crap hectic day, many of moments above I shared with him, making all those other things insignificant.
Nice use of your minutes Anon
Wow! This is really living in the moment or minute! Thanks Craig, what great thoughts to start the day. It has given me a sense of excitement for the minutes ahead. So it’s off the fence and into action.
Use them well Annie
Love it. Keeping it. Using it in my training courses. With acknowledgement of the source of course!

Hi Craig, it seems to me sometimes that you’re a psychic because you’re always post something I need to read at the time
Greetings from a fan:)
Some people say ‘psycho’ but thanks IIze
Craig, what a beautiful and powerful perspective. Thank You.
You’re welcome Brizer (that’s your name in Australian)
Beautifully written and a powerful message. So very very true.
You’ve given me just the kick up the backside I needed today! My daughter has Scarlet Fever and I’ve wasted far too many of those precious minutes wishing I was able to get on with the ‘stuff’ that seemed to much more important that just being with my daughter. Silly woman that I am! Got it now – Being with her, snuggling on the sofa IS the important stuff. Durh!
The more I think about and focus on time, the more I waste it…So I try and just LIVE and DO and CREATE!
