My Time Is More Precious Than Gold

Og’s 5th Scroll is ostensibly focused on the idea of living each day as if it is my last. Although I have instantly embraced each of the other scrolls, when I balked at this one, it felt uncomfortable and foreign. What do I do about this?

If I had to put a word to how I felt it seemed “morbid” was appropriate and also descriptive.

However as time went on and days passed, I came to the awareness that this scroll was not really about death or one’s final day, it was about how I use the time given to me.

It was about making good use of my time, using my time wisely, taking advantage of every moment and making sure that each moment is well-spent. On my last day I realize more clearly the truly precious nature of each moment of my life.

And then it dawned on me… I have been wasting a great deal of time lately. My refusal to embrace Scroll 5, my block in understanding its true meaning was my subconscious holding on to the old blueprint. I must create a revolution in how I spend each moment.

I must re-evaluate the currency of my time, deliberately raising the value of a moment and refusing to spend a moment doing something less than its actual worth to me. I must make a conscious decision to elevate a moment in time to its highest and best use.

I must stop living in a reality of my own creation in which the currency of my time has been devalued. I must demand of myself the best return for each moment.

And what is that highest and best use? Serving others, following my WPOA, working toward my smart goals, creating the new blueprint, and promoting a positive mental attitude, all tied up with my elevating and focusing on my Definite Major Purpose. My view of time is really an attitude. Using my time wisely is a positive mental attitude I must choose and cultivate.

I am now thrilled every time I read Scroll V and complete the accompanying obituary exercise as I work to make these beliefs real.
