“How did it
get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before
its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?”
~ Dr. Seuss
Time is a crazy concept. I think even scientists cannot understand its
vastness and limitations, and it certainly boggles a lay person like me. The bottom line is that time is finite. The older we get the faster it seems to
go. Days, weeks, months, and years fly
by, and like Dr. Seuss we are left asking, “How did it get so late so soon?” or
How did I get so old so fast? or How did my kids grow up so fast? The other obvious factor that comes into play
is that because of our unpredictability mortality we never know how much time
we really have. For people who long for
control, it is a great reminder that we don’t control our destiny. Time rolls on, and we cannot predict how much
time we have in this lifetime. With
these factors in mind, the simple solution is to use our time wisely. Every moment counts and more importantly, we
need to treasure the time we have. We
must be accountable to ourselves to make sure we are satisfied with how we
spend our moments because the way we spend our moments is the way we spend our
lives. Time is perhaps the greatest gift
we have because it is something we cannot get back.
Have
a great week!
