Our Most Valuable Asset

What's your most valuable asset?

The best definition of the word "asset" I could find is "a valuable item that is owned".
So what is your most valuable asset? Is it something tangible, like a home, stocks or a car? Or is it something that you can't actually put your hands on? Your thoughts, a skill that you've acquired or even the air that you breathe?

I assert that the most powerful asset is one that we cannot get our hands on. We have no control of it. We can never get anymore of it.
We are all given two things when we come into this world. Time and Choice. Which is more important? I say the one we will never be able to get more of. TIME!

I love the fact that we are all given the same opportunities, and, in most cases, the same amount of time to take advantage of those opportunities. We all start off with a level playing field.
Things happen, as they are supposed to, to change the playing field for all of us. It appears some of us have a more difficult time, while some appear to live on "easy street".
There is a reason for all of that, which I won't get into, but, I will say, the only thing that truly levels the playing field is time.

There is no variable with time--it doesn't change. Why is it that some seem to get much more done, with the same amount of time? What are you doing with yours? Are you wasting it, spending it or investing it?
Take a look at your day, hour by hour; minute by minute. Your week. Your month. Your year! Do your accomplishments match up with the time you've been given?
Time is so valuable because it is an asset that can never be replaced. Kids grow up. Money comes and goes. Jobs change. Beauty fades.

Time is never changing. Do you own it???
