A Message to Oneself

Source

I've been here long enough to understand what life is about, I'm not here to preach or advise, I'm writing this as a reminder to myself, and to everyone who needs to be reminded.

Time is the ultimate form of wealth; you can turn time into money, a healthy body, a lovely family, and many other adorable things that we all yearn for. That's the one thing you're never allowed to waste, for as easy it is to compensate money, you never get a chance of compensating one second of your life, and you never know when death occurs. If every second was worth a dollar amount, would you waste time as you do now? I bet you won't.

Smoking has done more damage to my than my enemies could ever dream of. It's like the small insignificant drops of water that let iron rust over years and lose its strength. It's cost me my health, which is a bigger price than I could ever afford. I could've been running a marathon right now given I never smoked. I'm not here to regret what happened, but rather to decide that enough is enough. I'd never allow anything to kill me slowly and rob my health. I deserve to live a healthy life free of whatever takes away my health, power and well-being.

Pay much attention to who you surround yourself with; most of these people around you they pray for the day you fall. They know you're doing better in life and they wanna drag you down to their level. Life is shorter than having a temporary company that you know a couple of months or even years later wouldn't be around, they'd probably still be at the same place doing the same things.

You're given the greatest of all blessings; life. It's the opportunity to make your dreams a reality through hard work and consistency.

Six months of consistent hard work will get you exactly where you need to be, is that much to ask for?
