Time

Time. Interesting concept.  Time gets a bad wrap.  Time gets blamed for a lot of things, when really, time is the only thing we all have.  Time is the one thing we have in common.  No matter what country you are from, race, ethnicity, socio economic status, religious beliefs. The only thing we have in common is time. Everyone has 24 hours in a day. It's what we choose to do with our time that matters. Some people waste time, some people give time away, some people spend time, some people never have enough time. and some people feel like time is the enemy. The one thing we can always count on is that time will pass, if we like it or not. Minutes continue to click by, days continue to go by.  We are in charge of ourselves, not time. Stop blaming time for everything that you may or may not have, or saying you don't have enough of it. Time can't be multiplied, you can't have more than anyone else. You can choose to use your time more effectively than everyone else, but you don't get more time.  Time is given equally to everyone, and time will also move. Those are the two constants we live with.  Stop blaming time, time didn't cause you to sit on the couch all day, time didn't ask you to not go to the gym, or to work too late yesterday, time only gave you an equal share and time is dependable, because time will forever continue on, no matter what.  That is assurance.  You will always have time, until you die that is.  You can't blame time for that either, your time would be up then.  I think we need to thank time for existing and then find ways to live within our 24 hours, 7 days a week, 52 weeks in a year and use each minute in each hour in each day to the best of our ability.  We need to manage ourselves in relation to time. What are you doing with your gift? Where are you using your 24 hours? are you sleeping enough? too much? doing something great, or are you watching time click by, because it will, with nothing left.  I am using my time today to create. I worked out with friends, I went for a walk and got a healing session. I threw ice in the lake and I watched the clouds roll by. I cooked dinner with my wife, and I listened to music and created songs.  What did you do with your time? How can you use your precious time?
