Jordan Fish, who operates under the alias Cobie on Twitter recently asked his followers to choose between $100m in cash and ‘You respawn at age 10, back in time, retaining all your current knowledge/memories.’ Interestingly 70% of the 73,167 people that participated in the poll prefers to go back in time with the same knowledge. But instead of these people dreaming of the past and wanting to go back, they should rather understand that they are time billionaires who should invest their most valuable asset wisely, now. Perhaps you are reading about time billionaire for the first time. It’s a phrase first used by Graham Duncan to describe individuals that have a billion seconds (about 31 years) to live. With an average life expectancy of about 80 years, anyone 50 years old or younger is a time billionaire. And don’t be like most people who think only of money when they think of wealth. If you have much time at your disposal and you are healthy, you are wealthy. Time Billionaire reading this, how do you plan to invest your time wisely? Personally, I want to spend my time to know God more through praying, studying the Bible and fellowshipping with other believers. I want to maintain work-life balance, making sure I work smart, spend quality time with my loved ones and rest well. I want to use my time to keep learning, teaching others what I have learnt and investing in the lives of others. Even if you are not a time billionaire, you too can take advantage of your ‘time-wealth’ and invest it wisely.
“Teach us to count carefully the days of our short lives. Then we will be wise in how we live.” Scripture
