There's a correlation between time and life; A rather simple link that no matter how hard we try, or wish, is impossible to break.
Time, for all of us begins in that moment we are born and from that point it moves onwards ticking away until eventually it stops. That's when we cease to be; When we die. That's the link...The more time passes the closer to our end we come.
Time comes for free, but its value is immeasurable in my opinion. None of us own it, but we can all make use of it. None of us can hoard it but it ours to use.
And life? Life isn't simply the passing of time, it is the collection of a person's experiences and the intensity of them. Those who understand the relationship will probably find more value in life I think.
Don't plan for someday then realise that someday has become yesterday. The wheel of time turns and the only moment you are truly in is today.
