How much sand is left?

If our life was represented by a sand timer, we would know how much sand we had left and therefore how much time.

However, we do not know how much sand is left in our sand timer.

We can not live every day as if it was our last but spend your time with people you love, doing things that matter, making your difference in the world, being kind, empathetic, compassionate, loving and having a laugh.

Create the things that you can and share them, don’t leave you dreams unchased, do not leave ideas unshared, do not wait for perfect moments, make life count.

Use your sand and cherish every grain as we do not know what is left for us.

It starts with you

People queue overnight to get to the shops today and in the UK we will spend over £4bn on the sales, and that is just 24 hours after unwrapping £billions of presents placed under a tree.

Many people then moan and say how ridiculous it is to spend all that money and the poor shop workers need a break too.

It starts with you, me and all of us.

If we think something is wrong or ridiculous, then don’t join in.

If no one went to the shops on Boxing Day, then the shops would close for that day next year and the staff could have a break too and we could all stop spending money on shit we don’t need.

We all have to be responsible and we can all make a change.

Or we can all do nothing, but don’t moan.
