A Blessed Sunday to everyone! How’s your day going?

I am sitting here inside a coffee shop planning my calendar ahead and doing some pro-bono and freelance work. Life is hard. Haha.

It is halfway of the month. I repeat. IT IS ALREADY HALFWAY OF JANUARY 2017.

Wow. Time sure is flying by so fast it’s so hard to notice. Parang kelan lang nung sinabi ko na “2016 — Best Year Ever.” and you know what, I realized, it’s going to feel and be like that. Every. Single. Time.

And we can’t do anything about it. We can’t buy back time. We can’t rewind it even yet fast forward it. We can’t control it. Time is so precious nowadays that even people invented Uber. We don’t even want to wait in line anymore. The line is already long!

Think about it. How to these apps become ultra-successful anways? Why is it the hottest thing? Is it people just happened to want to develop something like fire? Or is it because you just want to beat energy gap?

I think not.

What do Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Uber and Snapchat ultimately have in common?

They make connecting to people EASIER and more CONVENIENT.

It is because the most precious, most expensive and most valuable asset to people is TIME. The people who invented Uber wasn’t the most intelligent bunch in class. The people who invented Instagram had some trial and errors. Heck, even Mark Zuckerberg lost friends making facebook. They too even had their challenges. They just plowed through it every time. They just capitalized on that one idea — TIME.

A famous man once said that, “Talent is only being able to do things at a much faster rate.” Well, if that’s the case, we normal human beings just have to double time our efforts don’t we?

Rumi also said that, “Discipline is remembering who you love.”

So my dear friends, who do you love?

Let that sink in.

Are you laying low this Sunday?

Are you waiting for February for that New Year’s Resolution?

Or March? Lol.

I guess it is up to you.

We can’t control time. But we, can act on it.

Let’s start strong. No excuses.

Cheers,
