Plenty of times when we think of actual time the image of a clock comes to mind. That image that causes many concerns and for others maybe not. We seldom evaluate the importance of time in our lives. We do not realize how quickly it happens and how many let it escape without using it properly. Our lives, even if we don’t understand it, are directed by time. If we use it to the maximum, we will have optimal results. If, on the contrary, we waste it, we pay the consequences.
When we think about having children, we do not consider the amount of time it takes to be an effective parent. Many times, due to work demands that time is limited. The important thing is that, even if the time we can dedicate to them is little, it is one of the highest qualities. The task is not easy and that is why I always say that the best thing is to plan the arrival of the children in our lives. If we cannot plan it, we have to create awareness that time is not only ours. The time we spend with our children is a great investment. Living with them each stage to the fullest and enjoying their development is a unique experience. If circumstances force us to divide it, we can do so with love, justice, and equity. Giving each of them our time and creating memories. Those memories are the greatest treasure we can give them.
