Time control

Does time control us? Or do we control the time? 

The most precious commodity we have is time. Ask someone who has lost a loved one who they cared about-what would you wish you could have again-there answer usually revolves around saying or doing something with that loved one. Another time/chance to speak to them. 

I heard it once said,"Wise people learn to get from the day." We're used to hearing "I gotta get through the day." What a change in perception. What a change in mind set. 

As I continue to grow in my role at Chick-fil-A, I learned one of the only things we control is time: our labor vs. sales. We can add people or take away people from the schedule at anytime. Now there's a good time and bad time to do both, but we are in complete control. 

I want to encourage you to think about the type of days you are having and see if you are like the wise and are learning from the day. 

You have 100% control of your schedule. If you gave away that control by making yourself available to work-that's your fault. But you have the power of choice. 

If you want some more, in the bible there's a chapter that talks about what you can do with time: Eccelesasties 3.
