The Magic Bank Account

Imagine entering a contest and winning the following prize…

Each morning you will receive a deposit of $86,400 into your private account. Here are the rules:

1. You may spend it on anything you desire.
2. Whatever you don’t spend during the day, you forfeit.
3. None of the money may be transferred into another account.
4. Each morning you will wake up to another $86,400.
5. At anytime, the deposits can end without warning.

What would you do?

You would buy anything and everything you wanted, right? You would shower your loved ones with gifts, right? You may even buy things for people you don’t know because you couldn’t possibly spend it all on yourself. Knowing it would be replenished in the morning, you would try to spend every penny, right?

Think about this… the game is real! Yes, that’s right. You are already a winner. The prize isn’t dollars, it’s seconds.

The prize is time.

Each morning you will receive a deposit of 86,400 seconds into your life. Here are the rules:

1. You may spend it on anything you desire.
2. Whatever you don’t use during the day, you forfeit.
3. None of the time may be transferred into another person’s life.
4. Each morning you will wake up to another 86,400 seconds.
5. At anytime, the the deposits can end without warning.

SO, what will you do with your 86,400 seconds?

Those seconds are worth so much more than the same amount in dollars. Time passes by so much quicker than you think. Think about this and remember to enjoy every second of your life. Take care of yourself, your family, focus on being happy, love deeply and enjoy life! 

Start spending.

… and don’t complain about growing old, some people don’t get the privilege!
