Waste - Words used in A Course in Miracles

 Every minute and every second gives you a chance to save yourself. Do not lose these chances, not because they will not return, but because delay of joy is needless.   T-9.VII.1:6,7

You do not recognize the enormous waste of energy you expend in denying truth.    T-9.I.11:1.

… all the waste that time seems to bring with it is due but to your identification with the ego, which uses time to support its belief in destruction.   T-15.I.2:6.

The basic decision of the miracle-minded is not to wait on time any longer than is necessary. Time can waste as well as be wasted.   T-1.V.2:1,2.

Choice is the obvious escape from what appears as opposites. Decision lets one of conflicting goals become the aim of effort and expenditure of time. Without decision, time is but a waste and effort dissipated. It is spent for nothing in return, and time goes by without results. There is no sense of gain, for nothing is accomplished; nothing learned.   W-138.3. (From the lesson: “Heaven is the decision I must make.”)

The children of God are entitled to the perfect comfort that comes from perfect trust. Until they achieve this, they waste themselves and their true creative powers on useless attempts to make themselves more comfortable by inappropriate means. But the real means are already provided, and do not involve any effort at all on their part.                      T-2.III.5:1-3.

Make fast your learning now, and understand you but waste time unless you go beyond what you have learned to what is yet to learn.   T-31.IV.4:7.
