Time…
I am sitting at my
desk staring at the clock on the wall… I have my To Do list in hand, and my
mind is racing. ‘There is so much to do with so little time’. ‘There is just not enough time in the day’,’ If
I could just have a little more time’… Sound
familiar? I cannot even begin to count
how many times I have uttered those words in various situations
Recently we learned of the passing of a family friend, and I
found myself deeply reflecting on this word: TIME. TIME = LIFE.
These two powerful words go hand in hand
Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters
For several years I spent my life worrying and stressing
about people and things that don’t matter.
I consumed my mind with ‘first world problems’ and I would push my own feelings and thoughts aside, to be the ultimate listener and counsellor. I was the ‘go to person’, who had all the time in the world to lend an ear and provide advice. I know some of you have walked in my shoes. You spend your time giving to others, expecting nothing in return. But often times, you end up wasting time on the wrong people and on the wrong things. I neglected to spend time on the things that DO matter, like ME.

There comes a time in your life where you have to make a
conscious decision on what you spend your time on and who you spend your time
with. Often times we don’t value time, and how
important it is to honour it until something life changing happens; birth,
death, illness,
Remember LIFE is short
and our TIME is limited. You have one shot to live your life how you want. Surround yourself with like minded people. And always
make time for Love!
