Time

Everyone has said it, and/or heard it - at least some version: "Where does the time go?" or "Time is just flying!" or "I never have enough time!"

Is it possible that we don't have enough time, or the time flies, because we're doing too much?

I hear or see stories about people accomplishing amazing things, juggling multiple balls in the air (there is a juggling smilie that is becoming very popular!), and in the next breath, complaining that they don't have enough time. I wonder - will mis-use, or abuse, of time be the ban of our current society?

If time is flying for you, it's probably because you're not living in the moment, the now. Either you're stuck in the past, or always, always, always, focused on the future. What about now? Have you had a two hour meal lately? Did you have a great conversation with a friend where you lost track of time? When was the last time you just hung out and not do anything? These are not guilty pleasures!! They are how you can slow down time, so it won't fly by so fast. TAKE the time. Have you ever regretted "taking the time" for something? Probably not. But I'll bet dimes to donuts you've regretted NOT taking the time for something.

Think about it. Give yourself a gift.
