They say today is the start of a new day. A lot of times though, it feels like a day is just a day. Well, it is how we keep time or how we relate to the passing of time. There is a second and 60 of those make a minute and 60 minutes make an hour. Then 24 hours make up a day and 30 days on average marks the completion of a month and twelve months is a year. The passage of time, in this dimension where we are confined within space and time, is a big deal.
Time is such an essential part of our existence. It is how we organize our life and our daily activities. We all have 24 hours in a day. Some of us have to do a lot more within that timeframe than others. Some of you out there could be a fulltime time mom like myself. And others juggle work, children and even school all in a day. My hat is off to the super moms who are doing it all. It is by far the most challenging as you have to stretch your time to accomplish so much everyday.
There is time and then the perception of time. The perception of time can be tricky. When we are having a good time, time feels like it is flying by but when we are bored, it feels like time is painfully slow. I have read personal accounts of people who have been through a life threatening experience and they say as they encounter such an episode time seems to slow down like playing a movie in a slow motion. And then there are those who have had a 'Near Death Experience' (NDE) as most call it and some say they experience a lifetime in just a matter of moments. Hmmm, so what slows down or speeds up our perception of time? It could be what we experience within that time frame or rather what we perceive we are experiencing during a given time period that in turn seems to impact our perception of time.
Time is the true currency of life. Many people think money is the currency of life but it really is not. Think about it......money buys you things and convenience but regardless of how much money you have, if you don't have time it means nothing. Our time is the greatest asset we have in life and like most assets it is not unlimited. Time well spent will bring joy and blessings and time wasted brings disappointments and even heartbreak in some cases. Time is how we experience life. But at the end of the day, what truly matters is what you do with the time you have been given in this life. It is not how many years you have in your life but rather how much life you have in your years that matters.
