Time waits for no one

  • People are often unaware of time. Some folks waste time. Others try to catch up with it. Then there are those who try to hoard it. Time is no person’s keeper, and people are unable to truly keep time. It will not wait for you or me. You will never make up the time you lost or get that time back. Why? Because each moment is unique in and of itself. Each moment is new. Once it passes, it is gone, forever. You cannot hold on to time. It is like vapor that dissipates into the unknown after being released. No matter how much you set your clock, watch the seconds turn into minutes, minutes turn into hours, and the hours turn into days and years, it is never the same in the moment you experience it. So, when you are in “the moment” of a period in time, be in it. Live it. Experience it for what it is. Then, let it go.

    Affirmation: I will view time in its appropriate perspective. I will learn to live in each moment as a new beginning. When it is over, I will respect the time for its departure to make way for new moments in time.
