Your Magic Bank Account

Life without living in the moment is like life without paying attention. Paying attention is a very economical and most efficient way to live. The way God meant it to be and the easiest way. Each moment that we pay attention, we get something back in return.

When we pay attention to what is going on around us, we can then live happy, joyous and free in each and every moment, . We appreciate and give thanks for everything we are given. If we grumble about what is being taken away from us, each of these moments is lost. If we can find what is being given to us in every moment, we are living a full life.

Yes, I know that not every moment, due to life around us, is all fun and games. perhaps, it may work for you to do as I like to do, and that is to pay attention to what lesson we may learn from even the bad moments.
"Author Unknown ... 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 had rules, just as any game has certain rules. The first set of rules would be:
1. Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you.
2. You may not simply transfer money into some other account.
3. 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:
1. The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say, "It's over, the game is over!"
2. 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 awakening morning we 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 lived 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. WELL, what will you do with your 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, and enjoy life! Here's wishing you a wonderfully beautiful day!!!"

With Warmest Wishes,
