Hello Steemit Friends,
Do you sometimes come to sense and realized somethings and say to yourself why did i just understood that now !. It does not matter how many IQ tests we have scored the highest on or how many times we were top of the class. It also does not matter how many PhDs we have or what kind of higher education we received, some things can’t be taught, we only learn from life experience and so from that, even some of us still don't get the little messages that has been sent to us through time.
Chosen this picture just because i looked super chill and peaceful.. burning away time. ;)
One of these things that people learn too late in life is time. We always hear people utter the words, “Time is of the essence,” and “Time is money” but how many times have you heard people say, “Time is life”? My guess is zero. Or at the slightest maybe only once.
I mean, think of it, you wake up every morning and check the time. On your way to work, you check the time, while at work you check the time and as you knock off too, guess what; you check the time. The use of time is not always at the glance at your watch or the clock on your phone. Using time doesn’t even require you to use the word itself or to follow strict patterns every day. But be rest assured, in whatever you do as long as you are alive, time is life.
Picture people that say they live their life ’on the free.’ They might tell you, “I don’t worry about time, you only live once, enjoy yourself.” Do those people really use time in their lives? Well, they might live a life that appears free of time but yes, they do use time. That is why they are focused on having fun now because “Life is short.” And what is life? Life is time and time is life.
Whenever you make a plan for the next day even without specifying at which time you will see a friend of yours. You are already making use of time. When we fall asleep our brain divides the sleep into five different stages all of which utilize time. Keep in mind that the brain doesn’t know when it is 10 PM, however, every stage of your sleep has its own duration which the brain repeats in a cycle of four to six times, spending an average of ninety minutes in each stage. So even our sleep uses time.
Think of medication. When a doctor prescribes some medicine to use it comes with strict instructions governing how many times in a day and for how long we should take that medicine. Time. Miss the time to take your medicine and you are risking your medicine not working. Time is life.
There’s no book or university class that will teach you that time is life because some things can’t be taught, we only learn from life experience. And unfortunately, this is what people learn too late in life.
As children, we can’t wait to grow older because they keep on telling us that our time will come. In our teens, we want more freedom, more time with friends and more engagements in doing whatever we wanted to. And this is when the pain of the clock starts to kick in. In our teenage years, we start to admire the fancy things. Cars, houses, fame, money, and attention from the opposite become a priority so in the years following our teens we strive to make as much money as we can.
We spend years in school or an endless time on start-up projects in the hope of being successful. Rich or not, time kicks in. Next thing we know is we are in our elderly years now and hoping we could have more time. More time with friends. More time with our loved ones. More time for everything because now we are not as energetic as we use to be and life feels useless. This is when we learn that time is life. But it’s too late.
So start now. Live your life knowing you have only a limited amount of time left. Make friends, be good to people, help those in need and live with a purpose. Don’t leave any room for regrets. Take care of yourself and your body because your life is important. Most importantly, take great care of your time. It is all you've got, Because time is life.
I hope you enjoy This post !!
