5 Timeless Ways to Find the True Value of an Hour

#hwtujuibado

   

"One hour at a time, one value-driven decision at a time.  That’s all we’re really talking about here.  Just maximizing the significance of our short lives, and making a small difference along the way."

>>We Determine the True Value of Every Hour

Our lives are measured by the value we provide to others.  This value arises from the things we spend our time doing.  And since time is quantified in hours, the value of our lives is equivalent to the sum of every hour we spend.
Opportunities to provide value are everywhere.  Some of them are anticipated, while others blindside us at midnight on an idle Tuesday.  Whether or not we choose to acknowledge and engage in these opportunities is up to us.
| How have you spent the last hour of your life?
Let this question sink in.  Let it inspire you…
Let yourself come to see just how precious a gift it is to find value in the loving gestures you display, the genuine conversations you have, the meaningful collaborations you engage in, and the deeds you do that bring peace.
:
  1. Build a bridge or two. – Some people build lots of walls in their lives and not enough bridges.  Don’t be one of them.  When you look at a person, any person, remember that everyone has a story.  Everyone has gone through something that has changed them and forced them to grow.  Every passing face on the street represents a story every bit as compelling and complicated as your own.  We meet no ordinary people in our lives.  If you give them a chance, everyone has something amazing to offer.  Open yourself up.  Take small chances on people.  Let them shift your perspective.
  2. Be present and listen closely. – If you think about the people who have had the greatest positive effect on your life—the ones who truly made a difference—you will likely realize that they aren’t the ones that tried to give you all the answers or solve all your problems.  They’re the ones who sat silently with you when you needed a moment to think, who lent you a shoulder when you needed to cry, and who tolerated not having all the answers, but stood beside you anyway.  Be this person for others.
  3. Be calm inside, even when those around you are angry. – People are much nicer when they’re happier, which says a lot about those who aren’t very nice.  Keep this in mind.  And also remind yourself that you can’t control how other people receive your energy.  Anything you do or say gets filtered through the lens of whatever they are going through at the moment, which has nothing to do with you.  Don’t take things personally.  Calmness is a superpower.  Just keep doing your thing with as much love and integrity as possible.
  4. Love exactly what’s in front of you. – Love what you do, until you can do what you love.  Love where you are, until you can be where you love.  And above all, love the people you are with, until you can be with the people you love most.  Fewer judgments, less resistance, more love… in this hour, and the next.  That’s the way we find happiness, opportunity and peace in even the most mundane situations.
  5. Be way, way kinder than necessary. – Think kindly of others, speak kindly to others, and do kind things for others.  Kindness always makes a difference.  Create the little outcomes others might be grateful for at the end of their day.  Be a bigger part of what’s right in this world.  And remember, the way we treat people we strongly disagree with is a report card on what we’ve learned about true love and real kindness.

🗨| Twenty years from now it won’t really matter how comfortable our lives were today, how easy we had it, or what we were “working on” when we were really just holding out on people.  Being perfectly in line and on time every second won’t matter either.  What will matter is how we lived, how we loved, and what we learned along the way.It’s our time, right now…To fill an hour with true value.To instill as much love, kindness and compassion into it as possible.And to do what we know in our heads and hearts is right, every step of the way.


All The Best 🤝

Learn to be more human again.

#hwtujuibado 👋 | Hello everyone .   My hopes.... life's treating you just the same way you treat it. My eyes are on social media today... and with this 'short' article,  I hope to open your eyes too on some  impeccable reality about it.  | We think we need all those text messages, social updates, memes, and perfect Instagram pics ! If it entertains you now but will hurt or bore you someday, it’s a distraction.  Don’t settle.    Don’t exchange what you want most for what you kind of want at the moment.   Study your habits.  Figure out where your time goes, and remove distractions.  It’s time to focus on what matters. A good place to start? Learn to be more human again.   Don’t avoid eye contact.  Don’t hide behind gadgets.  Smile often.  Ask about people’s stories.  Listen.  You can’t connect with anyone, including yourself, unless you are undistracted and present.  And yo...

Compromise.

#hwtujuibado If you cannot get what you love out of this life, then learn to love and cherish the things that have been handed to you, because they are there and they are yours, don't chase the impossible, if you can't be who you want to be in life then learn to be the things you're not, and if you can't get what you need from life then learn to need the things that stop you from dreaming, but by all means necessary keep moving on, and should the universe turn its back on you then do the same, don't let the universe get the best of you, just COMPROMISE. Our goal this year, after many years now, is to turn setbacks into comebacks, journey with Me as we re write our fates.

Facing Fear

" Everything you have ever wanted, is sitting on the other side of fear ." Fear keeps us in the background. It convinces us we can never accomplish our dreams, tells us to keep quiet, and separates us from the ones we love. Fear has an unparalleled ability to freeze us in our tracks, and limit what we are willing to try. Fear makes us lead a smaller life. The things that we are afraid of may be different, but our reactions to fear are usually the same – our palms sweat, our mouths get dry, our stomachs churn — and we would do anything, make any sacrifice, just to make it go away. How many times have you turned away from an opportunity or even a relationship because you were too afraid to go for it? Fear is not a bad thing. It exists for our protection as an early warning signal. But there is a big difference between the healthy fear that tells us to step away from the edge of a cliff and a constant fear that keeps us from living our life. All...
