Knowing is not enough.

A treasure buried under the earth.
Honey encassed in a beehive.
A healing medicine.

If you don't know these exist, they are of no benefit to you. If you know they exist, but sit back and do nothing, they are also of no value to you.

You must dig out the treasure. You must carefully extract the honey. You must take the medicine.

Knowing is not enough. It's a start, but you need to act and you need to put in the effort. 

Effort is what makes the treasure useful. Effort is what allows you to enjoy the honey. Effort is what eliminates your pain and sorrow. 

A Finite Resource and an Invaluable Treasure

Time.

None of us have enough of it.  All of us fritter it away.

Do you think the last five years went too fast?  Do you think the next five are going to go slower?

Our life is extremely precious, our mind invaluable.  Can you imagine losing the treasure that is your mind?

The only way to make the most of this treasure is to use our time wisely.

Value mindfulness.
Practice being present.
Stop (some of) the nonsense.

In mindful presence, a world of opportunity naturally arises.  Clarity appears.  Insight dawns.  Kindness radiates.

You can use this precious treasure, this precious life and accomplish something meaningful.

No matter how much time you have left.
