This document discusses different perspectives on time from various spiritual teachers, philosophers, scientists, and thinkers throughout history. It argues that time is an illusion and the present moment is most important. It encourages making the best use of one's time by finding one's purpose and living intentionally in the present.

2. So many
endless
things have
been & can be
said about
time…

3. And it can be viewed in
so many different ways

4. Spiritually, scientifically,
philosophically…

5. Psychologically,
perceptually, etc

6. Albert Einstein
has discussed
about it
many times
before

7. He said that time
is an illusion

8. Isaac Newton
too has talked
about time

9. So has the myriads of
great spiritual teachers…

10. Philosophers, thinkers,
scientists through
the ages

11. Of our current times…

12. Eckhart Tolle, a
German-born
spiritual teacher
& author said…

13. “Time is an illusion…
What you perceive as
precious is not time but…

14. The one point that is out
of time: the NOW…

15. That is precious indeed.
The more you are focused
on time -past and future-

16. The more you miss the
NOW, the most precious
thing there is.”

17. From the onset, let me
state that the intent
of this episode is…

18. To realize just one facet
of the illusion of time…

19. Resulting in a more
purposeful use of it

20. Now I say time is an
illusion because…

21. We live each day as if
all of our tomorrows
will come

22. It’s AS IF we will go on
living forever as we know
life to be each day

23. This is DEFINITELY
not the case

24. Do you know some
151,600 people do not live
to see the next day?

25. Here’s PROOF…

27. And some day this will be
true for you and me?

28. Are you aware the global
average human lifespan
ranges from…

29. A mere 69
years…
according to
The World
Factbook (not
Facebook!)… =)

30. To 71.5 years…

31. According to
the United
Nations World
Population
Prospects
2015 Revision

32. Here’s PROOF…

34. Our short lives are
based on time

35. All of us have 86,400
seconds each day

36. Not a second more…

37. Not a second less

38. To have a great life, we
need to steward the time
we are given well

39. With any
resource such
as time, money
& energy…

40. We can either INVEST,
SPEND or WASTE it

41. When we INVEST it, it
returns more than
what we put in
Input < Output

42. When we SPEND it, it’s
a breakeven deal
Input = Output

43. When we WASTE it,
it returns less than
what we put in
Input > Output

44. My mentor would remind
me just about every time
we meet and say…

45. BE PRODUCTIVE

46. Again everyone
has the same
amount of time

47. But the fruits of that time
vastly differs from
person to person

48. I have a specific way of
stewarding the time…

49. That’s given to me
every single day

50. Generally speaking…

51. The more productive a
person is, the smaller
their time blocks will be

52. Donald Trump is known to
have meetings lasting no
more than 15 minutes

53. Not sure if this is the
case since he…

54. Became the President
of the United States

55. Elon Musk
breaks his day
in just 5 minute
slots…

56. Wolfs down his lunch
during a meeting

57. At this point, I organize
time in 30 minute blocks

58. I learnt many years
ago that…

59. The past is the past,
NOW is all we’ve got…

60. And the future
“does not exist”

61. Because when the
future turns up…

62. It is a
new NOW

63. The late Alan Watts, who
was a British philosopher,
writer & speaker said…

64. “The future is a concept,
it doesn’t exist. There is
no such thing as
tomorrow…

65. There never will be,
because time is
always NOW”

66. Humans have for
a long time been
fascinated about…

67. Immortality, anti-aging
and life extension

68. Until we achieve it
(if ever we do)…

69. A much more pragmatic
way would be…

70. To use the
time we
have much
more
purposefully

71. Someone once said
“The trouble is, you think
you have time…”

72. The late Steve
Jobs said “Your
time is limited,
so don’t waste it
living someone
else’s life…”

73. Colossians 4:5 (ESV)
states “Walk in wisdom…,
making the best use
of the time”

74. The problem that most
people THINK they have
is “Not enough time”

75. Here’s the
solution…

76. To have “more time”,
MAKE THE BEST of the
time that we have

77. And what’s the best way
of making sure we…

78. Make the most of our
NOW moments
in our lives?

79. Here’s my take…

80. Go figure out
your personal
purpose,
mission &
vision…

81. Which I’ve discussed
before

82. If you have yet to listen
to those episodes…

83. I HIGHLY suggest
to do so

84. It won’t take longer
than an hour yet…

85. Will revitalise people’s
lives in many cases

86. Because until we’ve
figured out our
priorities…

87. There’s little point talking
about productivity

88. And until we’ve figured
out our purpose…

89. There’s little point talking
about priorities

90. Gary Keller talks about
this in his The One Thing

91. As a last point…

92. People’s actions
generally follow
what their
true beliefs are

93. You see…

94. It’s not what we know
mentally that dictates
what we actually do

95. This explains why people
quickly go through…

96. A COMPLETE
transformation…

97. In how they live their lives
immediately after a near
death experience

98. So…

99. What are you NOW going
to do with your life?

100. In closing…

101. I trust this has been
a great investment
of your time

102. To make this profitable
for yourself…

103. Decide at least 1 way
in which you’ll better
use time

104. Also feel free to go over
this episode again so you
catch the spirit of it

105. While this is my first
episode on the subject
of time…

106. It certainly won’t
be the last

107. Because while I have
the time to do so…

108. There’s so much more I’ll
love to share about time

109. Let me know what you
got out of this episode
