Our two greatest gifts are time and the freedom to choose—the power to direct our efforts in the use of that time. The key is in not “spending” time, but in “investing” it—in people, in empowerment, in meaningful projects and causes. Like any capital resource, if we spend time, it’s gone. We dwindle away our inheritance. If we invest it, we increase our inheritance, and it will redound to the blessing of generations that follow.
