Time you enjoyed wasting
is not wasted.

So, the important question would be to ask yourself
how you spend your time. You may find a few things
you’d like to change. The next time you’re tempted to
say “I don’t have time”, change it to “I choose not to
spend my time on that” and observe what comes up
for you. After all, it’s your choice! Or is it? Are you
valuing your time or giving it away to somebody else’s
dreams?

24 hours...
It could be argued that the most valuable
commodity you have, outside of your health, is
your TIME. In fact, the way you use your time
could actually have a major impact on things
like your health.
Every day each one of us is gifted with 24 hours of time,
and it’s how we use that resource that depicts the true
value of it. How often do we hear the words “I don’t have
time”? We all have 24 hours! It’s what we choose to do
with those 24 hours that really separates the successful
from the rest.
Think about it. Most things are re-obtainable. You can
make more money, buy another house, even find another
life partner, but you can never ever recuperate the TIME
you’ve spent. You can’t buy it, rent it, borrow it, store it,
save it, renew it, invent it or multiply it. All you can do
is spend it. There is no way you can “save” time either.
When people say they are “saving” time, they simply
mean they’re spending less time doing something.
So, you’re the only one who can ensure that you spend
your time wisely. How you spend your time reveals where
you place your highest values. Don’t let time trick you.
No one ever seems to have enough time, yet everyone
has all the time there is. Nothing is easier than being
busy, but the essence lies in the accomplishment related
to that busyness.
On his debut night of being a member, Gerrit Strydom
wowed the judges with his image Spring Is Near.
Gerrit didn’t only meet 1-star requirements of good
exposure and focus; he also surpassed all expectation
of a 4-star worker, winning the junior category. His
image is beautifully composed and tells a lovely story.
Wow! Well done, Gerrit!
Bruce Paterson’s Wildebeest Sunset, winner of the
senior section, takes on a mystical sense with its
low lighting and dark space. Beautifully lined by the
highlights of backlighting and the warmth of the early
morning light, this image tells a magnificent story,
almost transporting to the wild essence of the bush.
Beautifully timed and captured, Bruce.
Our next meeting ...
All meetings are on the last Thursday of every month throughout
2017. The set subjects are as follows:
July – ‘Long Exposure’
