  Dot com. Welcome to the Daily Quote, the
• 0:06
  podcast designed to kick start your day in a positive way.

  I'm host Anna McGivern and let's jump right into today's quote
• 0:14
  from Charles Richards, who once said don't be fooled by the
• 0:20
  calendar. There are only as many days in
• 0:23
  the year as you make use of. One man gets only a week's value
• 0:28
  out of the year, while another man gets a full year's value out
• 0:32
  of a week. Read that again.
• 0:36
  There are only as many days in the year as you make use of.
• 0:41
  We all get 365 days. Same calendar, same hours, same
• 0:47
  minutes. But Richards is telling us that
• 0:50
  time isn't equal. Not really, because it's not
• 0:55
  about how much time you have, it's about how much time you
• 0:59
  actually use. One person can live a full year
• 1:03
  and barely grow, barely create, barely experience anything
• 1:08
  meaningful. They showed up, the days
• 1:11
  happened to them, but they didn't make use of them.
• 1:15
  Another person can pack an entire year's worth of growth,
• 1:19
  learning, and achievement into a single week.
• 1:22
  They squeezed every drop of value out of those seven days.
• 1:28
  Same amount of time on the clock, completely different
• 1:32
  results. Here's what most people miss.
• 1:36
  They think time is the problem. I don't have enough time, But
• 1:41
  that's not it. You have the same amount as
• 1:46
  everyone else. The real question is are you
• 1:49
  making use of it? Are you spending your days
• 1:52
  intentionally or just letting them pass?
• 1:55
  Are you focused on what matters are scattered across
• 1:59
  distractions? Are you present or just going
• 2:03
  through the motions? The calendar doesn't determine
• 2:07
  your year, you do by how you use each day.
• 2:12
  So here's the question, are you making use of your days or are
• 2:17
  you just letting them happen to you?
• 2:20
  Because the calendar is going to keep turning either way.
• 2:24
  The only question is how much value you'll extract from it.
• 2:30
  That's going to do it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off
• 2:33
  for now, but I'll be back tomorrow.

  Same pod time, same pod station with another daily quote.
