Time

Schedule a sacred date with yourself - you deserve time for your life.

Time is a most fascinating concept, something we feel passing us by.
Time is something we created to help explain what we couldn't understand and to give us more hope that our life has a larger meaning - that it is part of a larger picture.
Time, like money, has only the power we give it... and yet if everyone around us uses time to gauge progress then even if we choose to ignore it we are subject to its implications.

What we choose to do with our life, our time is up to us. We can manipulate time itself!
By being more or less productive with each passing moment we can stretch or shrink each minute - and one moment can impact all others in your future.

Or, you can use time to erase pain. Or happiness....
Time dilutes emotion, and thank goodness or some of us would find ourselves still held captive by a bad decision, a moment of stupidity, the influence of someone who only desires our pain.
But time is only an easier way to say, "you'll work through it, you'll figure it out..."

Sometimes we don't yet have what we need to "see". We may not be able to tell why something happened, what we're supposed to do about it... but in "time" all things become clearer - or we slowly forget about them.

These days we spend so much time thinking about others - what they ought to be doing, how they make it look so easy, how they could "do that to us!"... How productive is this way of thinking?

Is it not, perhaps, a better use of our time to think of our life in terms of us? How can we help them? What do we have to offer? How can I move beyond them - to a place where their deception and selfishness will not affect me? How can I alter my thinking to better suit my needs? How can I get the most out of each moment?

Can I alter the rules of time?

Love,
M
