How many years do you have left? How many months? How many weeks? How many days? How many hours? How many minutes? How many seconds?

How many more smiles will you see? How many more frowns will you see? How many more times will you be happy? How many more times will you be sad? How many more hugs will you give and receive? How many more sunrises and sunsets will you see?

How many more holidays will you experience? How many more parties, celebrations, and milestones? How many more times will you see your family? How many more times will you share laughter with friends? How many more animals will you pet?

Time is our most precious resource. It is a resource that you can give and will not get back. You can make more money. You can find more food. You can get make more clothing. You can build more shelter. But time spent is time lost.

Be mindful how you spend your time. Be wary of people who make demands of your time. Be wary of people who steal precious moments from you. A moment of meaning is not trivial. A beautiful memory is not trivial. All we have is now. Cherish it and reject anyone who would take it from you.
