86,400

Email I got from my dad that I wanted to share. Kind of goes along with my Life is Short post.


Imagine that you had won the following prize in a contest:
Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400.00 in your private account
for your use.
However, this prize has rules, just as any game has certain rules.

The first set of rules would be:
Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken
away from you.
You may not simply transfer money into some other account.
You may only spend it.
Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another
$86,400.00 for that day.

The second set of rules:
The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say,
Its over,the game is over!
It can close the account and you will not receive a new one.

What would you personally do?
You would buy anything and everything you wanted, right?
Not only for yourself, but for all people you love, right?

Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly
spend it all on yourself, right?
You would try to spend every cent, and use it all, right?ACTUALLY, this GAME is REALITY!Each of us is in possession of such a magical bank. We just can't seem to see it.
The MAGICAL BANK is TIME!
Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life, and when
we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us.
What we haven't used up that day is forever lost.Yesterday is forever gone.Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account
at any time....WITHOUT WARNING.SO, what will YOU do with your next 86,400 seconds?Aren't they worth so much more than the same amount in dollars?
Think about that, and always think of this:
Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker
than you think.So take care of yourself, be Happy, Love Deeply and enjoy your life!Here's wishing you a wonderful and beautiful day!!!

  2. This was a really neat concept! I was thinking about how all my cousins would have brand new vehicles and homes! Your blog is SUPER cute - I love the font, too!! Maybe I need some blog lessons from you. Is this a template or did you make it yourself?
