JAY’s TOTD: Dedicate your time and energy to the things and people you deem important.

My TOTD was a short daily encouraging text message that I started sending to my closest contacts over the last four years and now I’ve decided to make it a tad bit longer and post on the site. It is my personal experience and/or opinion, written daily to encourage you, inspire you or to tell you that you are not the only one going through! Enjoy.

Hey guys, sorry for such a long break…as you know it is not easy writing and blogging and I do it on so much levels.

I live in NYC and we recently experienced a tremor from the earthquake in VA and in the same week, we experienced Hurricane Irene.

Major occurrences like these in life tend to make you look inside, draw closer to family and God and hopefully make a change for the better..

While we still have time left on this earth, we should dedicate our time to the things that matter and that are important.

Why waste your time on insignificant things, people, functions, activities, gossip…well…that is unless you think it’s important.

Personally, I have been ridiculed for things I never did and never said or the truth that I have said. People can be mean and hurtful. But I refused to wallow in lies and even self-pity for things that don’t matter. It’s all about conditioning your mind. Trust me, I have a strong water-proof back that things easily roll off of….things that do not matter.

Time is not promised, so why waste what you can never reclaim?

Start a hobby, spend real quality with your family and very close friends, create and execute a “bucket list,” do things you have never done before, travel, explore, live, breathe…..exhale!

I just wanted to share this with you today.

Be blessed,

Jay
