In the United States, we currently experience Daylight Savings time each calendar year, except for the States of Arizona and Hawaii, in which on the specified date in the Fall, when the clock strikes 2 AM, it thereupon goes back to 1 AM, which provides one extra hour in the day for people to take advantage of. For some people, this change isn’t really noticeable as they simply sleep a bit more, or spend more time on their social media; whereas, for others they may spend it reading, working, doing chores, or doing something else constructive.
Imagine, though, that there was a construct in which, for one day each year, each of us would receive a free 24 hours of time, and then time would go back to normal. That is to say, we would repeat the same day, twice, of which, the second time, we would have no obligations to work or to engage with anything else. For some people, this would be a godsend, and a real opportunity to get some things done that they were either putting off till the right time or else were short the time to attend to. Then there are others, that despite this extra 24 hours of time, wouldn’t really do much of anything constructive or of worth.
Indeed, how we treat time reflects what we are as a person, and those who simply let time waste away, aren’t going to do much good with extra time, whatsoever, because they aren’t motivated to do much to begin with. In other words, as much as so many people complain that there isn’t enough time in a given day to get done what they need to get done, there are plenty of those that profess those words, but don’t actually mean it, for when given the opportunity to do exactly that, they don’t.
So, free 24 hours or not, or extra holidays or not, some people just can’t seem to get themselves started on what they could and ought to be; whereas, others will find having that extra time to be of value and will get done that which they know that they should get done. This signifies that the stark difference between those that do, and those that don’t do much of anything, really comes down to whether or not, an individual values time or sees each day as pretty much being the same as the previous day, ad nauseam.
What we become has an awful lot to do with us doing our part to make way where we can make way, which requires not only good effort, but also consistency, and often a plan of action. We are, in the end, the amalgamation of the decisions that we have made, or of the decisions avoided, so that those provided with a free 24 hours of time, that do not use such wisely, are the very same, that aren’t going to amount to much of anything, because they seemingly can’t comprehend that time has value, and those that value it correctly, are the ones that make progress, and those that don’t, progress not at all.
