The Gift of Time: How to Cherish What Matters Most
Time.
The most precious commodity we have.
The one thing we can’t get more of, even if we would love nothing more.

We look up one day, and the hands on the clock have moved ever so quickly. “It’s going to be 2025 in a few days? I felt like 2024 just started!”
I feel that way too. For the past seven or eight New Year’s Eve, I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing. The scary thing: New Year’s Eve 2016 felt like a week ago. Eight years have come and gone in the blink of an eye.
I need to do more with my limited time.
