I have been thinking about moments lately, days, seconds and months, how being at the right place at the right time can change your whole life, how being stuck in the past can ruin the present, how decisions we make in the present determine the future and how wasting a person’s time feels like a sin, no one takes time lightly. Time influences decisions while some decisions make time stand still, that’s how memories are birthed, why we celebrate anniversaries and birthdays and why we try to stay healthy and exercise…to buy time.

Some people have run out of time, not even the alarm can wake them up and that is where we are all headed, no amount of money, influence and power can stop your time.  Someday there will be silence and darkness and time will be pointless so while you have time, live. Do not live the life people hoped for you, do not live a double life, you do not have time for that. Don’t try and impress people with your time, follow your heart when it comes to your time, do not rush time and do not take too much time. Know when to mourn and health and know when to stop mourning and healing. Know when you are ready and cease the opportunity and know when to step back, prepare so you may be ready for the opportunity.

Let time refine you, allow the process to reshape you, the changes you need in your life will take time, “It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important- Antoine de Saint-Exupery”  allow your garden to bloom without looking over your friends garden because their grass is more greener, stop measuring your time against anyone else who hasn’t lived your life, respect the time it took you to be who you are.

Dr. Martin Luther King once said, “The time is always right to do what is right” stand up for your truth. People have different views on what will work for you, your heart, your career if you give them enough permission, they will force you to make decisions but they will never carry the side effects or aftermath of these decisions with you, no one has time for that, live.

Look around you right now, everything you see might be gone in a split second, I hope one day you will not have to say “I wish I had more time”
