Time Is More Valuable Than Money

People chase money because they believe it gives them freedom. But the truth is, money without time is worthless. What good is a bank account full of dollars if you don’t have the days to enjoy them?

I’ve seen people waste their time chasing what doesn’t last — status, applause, temporary highs. And I’ve seen others invest their time in what multiplies — their faith, their family, their purpose. The difference between those two lives isn’t the amount of money in the bank. It’s how they chose to spend their most sacred resource: time.

Time Is the Silent Teacher

Time teaches without words. It humbles us as it passes. It reminds us that seasons change — babies become children, children become adults, dreams either die or they bloom depending on how we nurture them.

Every tick of the clock asks us the same question: What will you do with me?
Will you waste me in regret? Will you bury me under busyness? Or will you redeem me, and make me count for something eternal?

In Choices, I wrote about character, hope, obligations, charisma, energy, and sacrifice. Behind all of these pillars stands time. Without time, you cannot build character. Without time, hope has nowhere to live. Without time, energy fades and sacrifice has no place to take root. Time is the stage where all purpose unfolds.

Redeeming the Time

The Apostle Paul wrote, “Redeem the time, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:16). Redeeming the time doesn’t mean adding more hours to your day. It means treating every moment as sacred — turning wasted minutes into purposeful ones.

If you’ve lost time — in bitterness, fear, procrastination, or distraction — it’s not too late. You can’t recover yesterday, but you can redeem tomorrow by what you choose today.

Time and Legacy

At the end of our lives, people won’t talk about how busy we were. They won’t remember how perfectly our calendars were color-coded. They’ll remember how we spent our time with them.

Did we love? Did we serve? Did we pour into others? Did we chase something bigger than ourselves?

Our true legacy is measured not in money, titles, or possessions, but in the way we invested our time.

Conclusion:

As I reflect on this 50th blog post, I can’t help but recognize that time is the thread connecting every word I’ve written, every business I’ve built, and every choice I’ve made. It is the true commodity of life — the one resource we can’t earn back.

So I’ll leave you with this challenge: Audit your time. Ask yourself, if your calendar revealed your true priorities, would you be proud of what you see?

Because at the end of the day, “The Strands of Life Bond Together Over Time Creating a Stronger Tomorrow.” What you do today is not just about today. It’s about weaving a legacy that tomorrow’s generations can stand on.

Time is not your enemy. Time is your greatest ally when you use it with intention. Don’t just count your days — make your days count.

🔥 Motivational Closing Line:
The clock is ticking, but your purpose is still alive. Don’t waste another second — step into the time you’ve been given and make it eternal.
