NOT LATER!

There was a man who toiled day and night to make things better for his family. Even evenings were spent attending classes to equip him for promotion in his main career. Whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he would point out that he was doing all this for them. After all, he too, craved for time with family.

His hard work paid off and he kept getting promoted to better salaries and greater responsibilities. The situation turned better for the family, but he was still constrained for time to spend with them. Eventually, one fine night, he declared his decision to give up work to spend time with his family. He died in his sleep that night!

The best of intentions cannot be procrastinated upon to a point where they become irrelevant or inconsequential. So often, in the quest to enhance existence, we give up on the things that constitute living. We have to be better at adding the value of timeliness to all our important priorities… especially the important ones.

Houses require money, material and maintenance, but homes thrive on relationships, which grow only with a sense of belonging between family members, which is aided by sharing of smiles and sorrows, of hopes and worries, of dreams and teams… not just as an occasional emotion kept for later, but as a regular recurring action… again and again!

Don’t put off priorities for later, things may not be the same
Let’s BE BETTER at regular timeliness… again and again!
