Time is an interesting concept, an intangible and an illusion. Often times we find ourselves bargaining for more. Have you ever wished you had just 10 more minutes or even another hour? Maybe because you are late or have too many tasks to fit into the 24-hour allotment that makes up a day. Perhaps you are enjoying your current situation so much that you wish it could last just a little bit longer. Â Time can mean so many things. You can’t be seasoned in your career without putting in the due time it takes to gain the knowledge and experience to perfect your role. What about sports or playing an instrument? You can’t be skilled or become a professional if you haven’t put in endless hours of your sweet precious time.
Time must be respected. Time must not be wasted. Time affords you the luxury of soaking up the sweetest moments in life. Do you choose to be too stressed to enjoy those moments? If you don’t capture them, then one day you may look back upon wasted time, knowing that you can never get those moments back. “The time is now,” I am sure you have heard that saying before. Â I am an opportunist and I thrive to fill my clock with as many adventures and experiences that I can. If I am lazy I will never gain those moments I yearn for. I am active now because I don’t want to wake up at 60 years old when it is too late to build up my strength. I am healthy now because I want the best, healthiest life I can have. I work hard so I can enjoy travel and count memories instead of years.
Time means so many different things. Will you make yours count?
Shakespeare once said, “Better three hours too soon than one minute too late.” I engraved this quote on the back of my Jord Watch as a constant reminder to respect time and to plan ahead so I make the most of each day.
What time quote is the most relevant to you? Let Jord engrave it on one of their handcrafted wooden watches so that you can keep inspiration close as you create memories and life experiences that define who you are. Visit Jord Watches to learn more about engraving.
I am a lover of nature and travel as much as I possibly can, so I can appreciate wearing a watch that not only blends with the outdoors with its wooden pieces that are sourced from all over the world, but also tells a story craftsmanship!
I wear the Hyde Series – Smoked Sandalwood & Olive with Ivory! I am obsessed with the contrast of the dark wood and the ivory colored face. Shop mens and ladies wooden watches from Jord and pick a statement piece that best suits your style!
