Give a block of marble to the average person and after a few weeks you will get a block of marble back. Give a block of marble to a master sculptor, and in a few weeks you will get back a beautiful statue. The difference is in knowing what to do with the marble.
In the same way, give 24 hours to the average person and what you get back is a lot of useless things that have little or no eternal value. But give 24 hours to a wise man and you will get back something of infinite and eternal value. The difference is in knowing what to do with the time. Make Today a masterpiece; yesterday is gone and you cannot change it. Tomorrow doesn’t exist, so you cannot do anything it yet. You have only today, and what you do today will affect what happens to you tomorrow. So make today a masterpiece so tomorrow will be a beautiful treasure.
If you kill time, you are the one who gets hurt. If you waste time, you will never have a second chance to use it again. Don’t waste time; it is too valuable. Don’t just spend time; it is too powerful. Instead, invest time, and you will gain infinite and eternal value.
There are two basic things you must do in order to invest your time wisely so that you make today a masterpiece: Make good decisions and Practice good discipline. Decisions without discipline accomplishes nothing. Discipline without good decisions leads to monotony without reward. Learn to make each day a masterpiece by deciding to invest your time in things that truly matter and then discipline yourself to follow through. (More on this later.)
