the magic bank account

A dear friend sent this to me.  Like the screaming headlines of  grocery store tabloids the title got me.

Click. I opened the email.  Surprise – I loved it!

I’ve been unable find out where it originated and as a result can’t give appropriate credit  for a lovely piece.

If anyone knows please get in touch and I’ll add author immediately!

Imagine that you won the following prize in a contest

Each morning your bank will deposit $86,400.00 in your private account for you to spend.
Contest Rules:
1. Everything that you don’t spend during each day will be taken away from you.
You may not  transfer money into any other account.
You can only spend.

2. The bank can end the game without warning. It can close the account and you will not receive a new one.

What would you do?

You would buy anything and everything you wanted. Not only for yourself, but for all people you love.  Even for people you don’t know, because you couldn’t possibly spend it all. You would try to spend every cent, and use it all. Am I right?

The game is real.

Each of us is in possession of such a magical bank.

The MAGICAL BANK is TIME!

Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life, and when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us.

What we haven’t lived up that day is forever lost.
Yesterday is forever gone.

Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time….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.

Think about that, and always think of this:

Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you think.

The past is over, it can’t be changed, life is in the present.

Take care of yourself, be Happy, Love Deeply and Enjoy Life!

Here’s wishing you a wonderful and beautiful day.

Start spending.
