Time as the Medium of Existence
Time is the medium in which we exist and do everything. Just as a fish doesn't know it's in water, we are in time. It is crucial to recognize that any frustrations we have with time are not its fault but our own. By using time correctly and doing the right work, we can achieve anything we desire. It's necessary to be aware of our weaknesses and find ways to complement them, prioritizing the most important things in life. Use each day as an opportunity to move towards your dreams and make healthy choices while enjoying the present moment.
Being Friends with Time
Developing a positive relationship with time is essential. Instead of feeling stressed and overwhelmed by busyness, we should be content and grateful for the things we have. A measure of our friendship with time can be seen in how we celebrate our birthdays, how we talk about our recent experiences, and how we prioritize the important aspects of life. Being friends with time is a state of mind that can be acquired by acknowledging its importance and our ability to use it wisely.
The Power of Meditation and Self-Reflection
Taking the time for self-reflection and meditation can have a profound impact on our relationship with time. Engaging in activities like silent meditation retreats can bring about increased calmness, contentment, and better time management. Meditation helps us refocus on what truly matters and who we want to be while doing it. It allows us to be more accepting of the present moment and logical in navigating challenges. Spending even a few minutes a day meditating can make a significant difference in how we use our time and enhance our overall well-being.
You cannot master time, you can only master yourself.
Time will keep doing its thing and we can't ever blame it or be annoyed with it. We must accept it and look to ourselves to make decisions we feel better about.
