86,400
Everyday I get $86,400 deposited in my account, but am I wealthy?
In our fast and changing culture
Is there no longer the need,
Time with our friends
Time with the family
Time for ourselves
Balance
An even distribution.
The ability to remain upright.
Tilted rocks leaning on one another,
Or a single twig standing up all by itself.
Is success measured by what you do for yourself?
If so, I would spend the $86,400 I get daily to benefit myself
Is that the right way to approach life?
Simply doing things for myself
Is the right way to go
Making memories for my future
Through spending all I have and living every day to the fullest
Every chance I get I create something to remember
Unless I take each cent and create an impact,
I am not getting use of
The 86,400
By spending it all on myself.
I thought about wasting it
I know that the clock is ticking and I have a lot to do
60 seconds, 60 minutes, 24 hours, 1 day. 86,400 seconds
Perfect balance, like anything perfect, is an asymptote we can only strive toward.
Sometimes balance is broken and one needs to look at the situation from a new perspective.
Please read going upwards.
