Ever heard the story of the fool who kept throwing stones in the river in the dark, and when the day broke, he found himself with a handful of diamonds, the rest of which he had mindlessly thrown away from himself, never to be found again?
Isn’t it funny that a guy could lose all that wealth just by unknowingly throwing away the priceless treasure he had found?
Before you laugh at the foolishness of that fictional man, pause and consider whether you are any different. Sure, if you found a bag of mysterious stones, you’d wait until daylight to throw them away. But you do have a treasure of your own, much more precious than a few diamonds that you throw away every day. It is your time.
Each day presents us with a limited and precious treasure. That’s 1440 precious minutes, which make up our day. All of us have exactly the same time. And even though it might seem that the time you have is never enough, you actually have exactly how much you need.
After deducting 8 hours for work, study, and sleep, you still have 2 hours for meals and entertainment. That still leaves you with 4 hours, which could be used for anything in the world, but rather we use it for mindless and unproductive disagreements and altercations.
What we need to do with these 4 hours is use them in a way that is critical for our well-being and an elevated existence.
We need to look for the higher purpose in life for which we were born. Now the first response to such a suggestion is usually that we seem to barely have enough time to manage our everyday struggle. Who has the time to go on a spiritual quest in the middle of the weekend?
But that’s where we are deeply mistaken; unless we know the deeper meaning of our lives, all these trivial pursuits will fail in the long run. This is like overworking your body when you have a very prominent injury in some part of it. You keep ignoring the pain, saying that you need to train because the marathon is coming nearer.
Throughout this time, the injury continues to worsen, to the point where on the day of the marathon, you are unable to even get out of bed, potentially resulting in a lifelong injury.
Do you now understand the importance of seeking the way of God? It will not just enlighten your life’s mission, but it will also help you deal with your everyday life in a better way. It will enhance your understanding of the world with its toils and troubles, and it will teach you how to get over these setbacks.
When you have the support of the supreme Creator, you can easily navigate through any problems that arise from his creation.
To fully enjoy the gift of life, you must introspect and utilize your time more effectively.
