One Day..

One day and only one day, when I am all grown up...

Will I wake up and have no troubles, there will be no wondering of what next, there will be no ulcers there will be no 'not now, maybe later'. There will be no next month, there will be no'only R100 93 please'.

There will be a offroad trailer in the driveway, there will be time to enjoy and not worry, there will be only laughter and joy...

This is my wish, but not just for me, but for everybody!

I have a good friend who taught me one of the most important lessons in life. He taught me that although money buys you things, the most important thing that money buys you is time. Time to enjoy with family and friends, time to spend with your children, time to spend exploring the world, time to read and relax, or just time.

When I first heard this it immediately rang true and it also highlighted the difference in how people perceive the world. People who are financially sound know the value of time, whereas people who are not financially secure crave after worldly things. You see the camper van and a sense of envy starts to rear its ugly head, you see the overseas holiday and you immediately think 'what have I done wrong', or 'that lucky bastard'...but you don't see the thing that it is all about, you don't see the time.
We don't see that his money gave him the opportunity to spend time doing what he loves, that time that helps us to unwind and reset after a strenuous event.

So where does this leave me?
It leaves me with the following...

One day, and only one day, when we are all grown up...

There will be time to spend with friends and family, there will be time to explore, there will be time to sit around a campfire, there will be time to teach and a time to learn...

This is my wish for you...TIME.
