What, when its gone cannot be recaptured? Of course, its time!
When one is in their youth, time seems like a never ending resource that can’t go quick enough. In school, some classes linger too long and one wishes time away. The drivers license that gives one freedom, again can’t get here soon enough. But, beware, with freedom comes accountability and responsibility. Then the working days come along and again, one might wish that the day go by faster than it seems to go, so that the leisure time of the evening will arrive. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!
Soon however, one becomes two and the days start to travel a little faster. Again one sees the grass greener on the other side of time. Then, family starts, responsibility lurks and time, where can I get more! Ah yes, if we only had more time. Sound familiar? If I only had more time to…….. WHAT? Do more?
I would suggest that our evaluation of time is measured by how much we get done compared to how much we have to do. This seems to me to distort time itself. Then comes the time management books, seminars, etc. Someone again, telling us how to cram more into the same twenty-four hour day. HUH!! Now is the time to change our perception of time compared to accomplishments. It’s really us that is warping the time element of our lives. Perhaps, enjoyment in our lives, is what we should be measuring. Yes, we do have responsibility and are accountable for the quality of our lives, however, take time to enjoy what we work so very hard for, life itself.
Therefore, by making our ‘things to do’ list just one or two items shorter each day, we can enjoy those accomplishments and our lives ever more, plus have ‘time’ to ’smell the roses’! We’ll see the fruits of our labor and see the effects on our kids for a long time, so focus on what’s important in life-the very family we love. Take a little hurry out of youe life! Life abundant is what our Creator has in mind for YOU!
