Personal Relationships: Time is the Most Important Gift

Article Category: Relationships

Author Name: Ken Poirot

The greatest and most important gift we can give each other is the gift of our time – devoting our time to our personal relationships and those who matter most to us in life. Time is the one intangible we never get any more of, we cannot buy more, and none of us knows exactly how much time we have – which makes time even that more precious of a commodity.

Today with our fast paced, high stress lifestyle – work, school, children, deadlines, the every day pressures of life – we often find ourselves pressed for time.

In my personal relationships – particularly in my marriage which ended in divorce, I can say the main issue was lack of time. We overlooked the most important gift to each other was just that – each other and our time. Instead we concentrated on our careers – she was away on business days when I was home and I was traveling days when she was home. The best wake up call for me in life was when I was fired from the company I had made millions upon millions of extra profits for each year. I realized, why did I invest so much time and energy in a company that did not care about me at all? It was idiotic for me to have invested so much of my time and energy in a company and my career job versus my personal relationships. It was the greatest and hardest lesson of my life – time is the most important gift of all and it should be spent on our personal relationships.

Lack of the Most Important Gift of Time Damages Personal Relationships

I have seen the result of the lack of time devoted to children and the damage it can have on their personal relationships in the future. Having met many people in my life, I have noticed a pattern – so often parents will buy their children a gift in order to "make up for the time" they could not spend with them.

Later in life the child plays this out in their personal relationships – asking for gifts and thinking a physical gift is most important rather than the gift of someone's time.

I can point to two examples of personal relationships with girls I dated. One girl had a very busy and successful father when she lived in Vietnam. She rarely saw him, he never had time for her, but he would buy her extravagant gifts. She studied at the finest schools – boarding school in Singapore, traveled to the USA for her university education. Yet, she was always so unhappy and felt she missed the most important gift of all – his time. It played out in all her adult personal relationships and it was very detrimental to her. We talked about it on many occasions – she cried in my arms. It was easy for her to have male friends and be close, but not within a romantic personal relationship.

I saw the same patter recently on my last visit to Kiev. A beautiful, international model (the girl in the photo above) also whose father substituted gifts for his time – he was so busy being successful and running his business. Now, I will say, I do not hold anything against anyone who works so hard to provide for their family. It just seems many people do not realize time is the most important gift of all and in order to people to form healthy, happy, personal relationships later in life – they need their parent's time.

After my visit to Kiev and seeing this girl could not form a truly healthy adult relationship – I decided it was best if we were just friends. Interestingly enough – she asked me to buy her an expensive hand bag to "ease the pain of losing me". Hmmm...substitute a gift for my time. I told her time was the most important gift of all in life – not the hand bag:)

The Time and Energy We Invest in Our Personal Relationships – People Carry This Gift With Them

I am always fascinated by personal connections and how we can feel so connected to some people in personal relationships yet so distant and have no connection to others. As we have all experienced – those closest to us we are connected to, sometimes it is almost that we can read their minds.

As per my background in Science, and as a scientist at heart, I always pose questions, look for answers, and relate much to Science. I am reminded of Newton's Law of Conservation of Energy – Energy is Neither Destroyed Nor Created.

I will say the time and energy we invest in each other – in our personal relationships – people carry it with them. We transfer our energy to those people and it explains some how we feel so connected the more time we spend with that individual. At least that is how I see it. So as the most important gift – our time – we need to devote our time to our personal relationships and make them a priority. I think we miss that sometimes in our daily lives and I can say I was guilty until my wake up calls in life – losing my job and then losing my marriage.

This is why I want to have the time to invest in my personal relationships without being tied to a clock, place, or boss' whims. For this reason I started blogging for myself with a network - to have my own business.
