Time As Creaturely Gift
- James K.A. Smith argues inhabiting time is not time management but accepting our temporality as creatures.
- He says spiritual timekeeping means receiving gifts shaped by our past and future rather than mastering time.
Past Shapes Present Identity
- Smith emphasizes our past is not behind us but carried forward as formation of who we are.
- He claims our singularity arises because no one else lived our specific history and habits.
Start With Reckoning, Not Mastery
- Cultivate awareness of how time and habit shape you before trying to change your future.
- Use that reckoning as the start of intentional living, not quick fixes or mastery schemes.
