What does Time mean to you?
Time a age old question. What does it mean? How does it work? How do i get more of it. In these questions have plagued society for centuries. Time can consume even the strongest who dare to oppose it.
Time has been a enemy of mine for so very long. Having to much or not enough has at times drove me to the edge of insanity. As i wrote my updated profile i included time sacrifice and reward in my bio and it has driven me to write more on it.
1.Time
What does time mean to me. Well to be honest it means everything. Time drives us to complete our daily lives from waking up on time to going to bed on time. Ariving to work, school, meetings, doctors, dates and so on. We live by the clock as it was our only source of life. We can consume time to the point of a unhealthy life. We can be manipulated by it and i myself have been a victim of time manipulation. So how can these actions have such a strong impact on our existence. That unfavorable term known as sacrifice.
2. Sacrifice
Wow! just writing that word ties knots in my stomach remembering all the times i sacrificed time to try and gain in something else. Sacrifice has many different meanings to everyone who performs it. I myself have had to sacrifice time to gain time. Sacrifice family time to gain time with my career path. Sacrificing time over time like i am struggling to figure out what bill to pay instead of another. It as well can be all consuming deciding on one sacrifice after another to try and gain time. Not all sacrifices are bad. A lot of sacrifices i have made throughout my life have brought me happiness. And that is were sacrifice can also lead to Reward!
3. Reward
Reward we all want it we all strive for it. Some rewards are just want we wanted and some fall short of our expectations. When we perform any action we do in life we get a outcome by that action. Whether great small or not even recognized their is a reward in any form presented to us. For some of us and myself included we usually follow simple rules to achieve some type of reward.
So now what does this all mean to me. As i go on about my daily life i usually am restricted with some type of time restraint. I try using a simple formula to help me decide. What kind of time and or how much time am i willing to sacrifice to gain the reward i am seeking. Time-sacrifice=reward. It as helped me not only everyday but on some of the biggest decisions i have made in my life. How does this apply to wealthy affiliate for me. I look as wealthy affiliate as a opportunity to achieve financial freedom. The time that i use to educate myself in affiliate marketing means what am i going to sacrifice to allow me to achieve my goals to get that reward. What sacrifices are worth the time to me to allow more time perfecting my skills. I look at all the questions analyze the problem and decide my next course of action.
So after reading this think to yourself what these questions mean to you.
1. What does time mean to me?
2. What am i willing to sacrifice to gain more time to achieve my goals?
3. What rewards are worth the sacrifice in time to me?
As always i thank you for taking the time out of your life to read this and i hope this helps some of you as it has helped me. Please leave a comment to the questions above so we can all see everyone's view point on this topic.
Best Regards
Ryan

Interesting post... Interesting interpretation, I haven't thought this way... Time for me is appreciation (could be age issue), time management - what was so important for my busy career, in some cases - lack of time - in some cases of poor management.
Thank you for your response.
As i said time to me will differ to you and on to the next. As i went about my life i have learned what is important about time and what is not. It may not be a solution or even a factor for everyone but as you said you have not thought of it in such a way as i described. Thank you again for interest in my blog post.
