What do you do when your whole life seems to revolve around other people. People around you only seem to care about other people. Other people other than you. Do you really matter? What role do you play in everyone’s lives. Is it an important one? Sometimes, you can feel so lonely, even when you have so many people around you. Emotional loneliness is the worst kind. Talking to somebody isn’t always an option. Especially when the only person you can talk to; the only person that understands: is yourself.

Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with £86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening, the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every penny, of course? Each of us has such a bank. Its name is time. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night, it writes off as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to a good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day, it opens a new account for you. Each night, it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day’s deposits, the loss is yours. There is no drawing against “tomorrow.” You must live in the present on today’s deposits. Invest it so as to get it from the utmost health, happiness, and success. The clock is running. Make the most of today.
