No amount of money can replace the time we’ve lost
That’s what the wrongly convicted, now freed prisoners in Texas are saying.
Some of these men have been imprisoned for 25 years or more. Can you imagine? Prison is a horrible place, as it should be for societies criminals, but to be there unjustly? To spend a third of your life there for something you didn’t do? Now granted, these men are being released and compensated heavily, but like one man said, "no amount of money can replace the time we’ve lost."
And this brings me to another thought. I waste time. I lose time everyday doing things that are of little value and will not bring me long term success or joy. Most of it on the internet to be fair. Time is precious, it’s the one commodity we can never obtain more of. What things am I missing? What is being lost? In 25 years no one is going to pay me for my lost time– and it wouldn’t satisfy me anyway.
So… what about you? Where is your time being wasted? And what are you going to do to fix it?



This is a huge one for me. I feel like the past 4 years I’ve been put in time out…like someday I’ll be able to live life the way I want. But this pain…has been keeping me from all kinds of things.
I don’t know the answer. Obviously I’m looking for headache fixes. Also, I think I should try to make better use of the time I have now. This is a good reminder.
