The Illusion of Time

Tuesday, 27 January 2015

Time is an illusion everyone’s mind creates. Most are either stuck in the past or stressing about the future. Worrying about the past or future doesn’t help you accomplish anything, it just makes you miss the current moment you’re in. If you keep your attention in the present, in the Now, you’ll realize that the future you think of will just be another Now once you get there. And the past? It serves no purpose for you. There’s no point on dwelling over something that has already happened. Everything that happens in your life, happens for a reason so accept it, move on & return to the present.

Being in a long distance relationship, time has taken on a different meaning for me. I’ve really begun to understand that time is limited & the feeling that makes you think you have all the time in the world, doesn’t exist. Most like to put things off saying that they’ll do something tomorrow &, when tomorrow comes around, they say they’ll do it the next day. That tomorrow becomes 30 years from now. The longer you wait, the more time’s wasted. Every second counts because you never know what’s going to happen next for you. Whenever you have a second, or a free day, take it for doing something you find joy in. Time is limited, so why would you want to spend it doing something that makes you miserable? For money? Once you experience true joy & happiness from doing the things you love, and you realize that life is too short to miss out on, you’ll find that doing the things you love, with the people that matter, is more important than money & materialistic things any day. I know that dropping the things that make you money can be scary, but if you’re open to opportunities, they’ll be provided for you.

Time is a precious thing & I encourage everyone to do all the things you’ve always wanted to do. 

Whenever you question whether or not to do something, ask yourself this: If not Now, then when?
