It takes time…

“I intended to text, call, email, etc… you back but got busy and time slipped through my fingers.”
Regardless of how busy we are, we need to take time for ten things:

1. We need to take time to work because it is the price of success
2. We need to take time to think because it is the source of power
3. We need to take time to play because it is the secret of youth, and all work does make a person dull
4. We need to take time to read because it is the foundation of knowledge
5. We need to take time to worship because it is the highway of reverence and washes the dust of the earth from our eyes
6. We need to take time to help and enjoy friends because our friends ultimately are going to be a major source of comfort and happiness
7. We need to take time to love because it is the sacrament of life that might be the most important–and yet the most missed–element in our lives
8. We need to take time to dream because it is the foundation upon which hope is built
9. We need to take time to to laugh.  It has been called the ‘music of the soul’
10. We need to take time to plan.  It’s the secret of being able to have time for the first nine things
