There are 525,600 minutes in one year, what have I done with those?! Thinking about it, did I spend much of those minutes in things that truly count? Or have I merely let them pass, or spent them in things that didn’t really matter?
525,600 minutes.
What can I do with just one minute anyways?
In one minute –
1. I can sing a song.
2. I can kiss my loved ones.
3. I can shake hands with a new-found friend.
4. I can smile.
5. I can pray.
6. I can embrace a friend.
7. I can jump!
8. I can dance.
9. I can say ‘thank you’.
10. I can say ‘I love you!’
Looking back however at the 525,600 minutes that have passed, I ask myself these questions:
1. How many kisses have I given away?
2. How many smiles have I shared?
3. How many songs have I sung from the heart?
4. How many times did I jump for joy?
5. How many prayers have I uttered?
6. How many friends have I embraced?
Looking back, I must have slept most of the time.
I must have complained a lot of times.
I must have worried so many times.
So many wasted minutes.
So many moments that were supposed to be mine,
to enrich my life and that of others.
It is not too late however! It’s enough to have spent a few minutes looking back. But now it’s time to live the moment. May the next minute count therefore, and may it be truly blessed!
Find hope in your darkest hour.
