The Magic Bank Account

My mom happened upon this in one of her drawers - one of those lost and found treasures.  I’m glad she shared it with me.

“The author of the message that follows is not known. The note was found in the billfold of coach Paul Bear Bryant, Alabama after he died in 1982.”
                                          The Magic Bank Account 
Imagine that you had won the following *PRIZE* in a contest: 
Each morning your bank will deposit $86,400 in your private account for your use. However this prize has Rules.
The set of rules:
  • Everything that you don't spend during the day will be taken away from you.
  • You may not simply transfer money into some other account.
  • You may only spend it.
  • Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400 for that day.
  • The bank can end the game without warning.  At any time, it can say “Game Over!”  It can close the account and you will not receive a new one.

What would you personally do?

You would buy anything and everything you wanted, right?  Not only for yourself, but for all the people you love and care for.  Even for people you don’t know, because you couldn’t possibly spend it all on yourself, right?

You would try to spend every penny, and use it all, because you knew it would be replenished in the morning, right?
Actually this Game is real.  Shocked???? YES! 

Each of us is already a Winner of this *PRIZE*. We just can't seem to see it .
The PRIZE 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 used 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 it and remember to Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than You think.

So, take care of yourself, be Happy, love deeply and enjoy life!
Here’s wishing you a wonderful and beautiful day, Start “spending”…..
“DON”T COMPLAIN ABOUT GROWING OLD….!”  SOME PEOPLE DON’T GET THE PRIVILEGE!”

What a thought provoking message!   As I share it with you, I’d add only one thing that came to mind.  
Besides taking care of ourselves, being happy, loving deeply and enjoying life, I’d remind us to feel gratitude for each second.


May you and your loved ones be healthy and safe,
Mary
