Stop and think about it. Give this subject some respect too. Time is something that when you're out of it, it's gone! Can't refill, do over, or negotiate the subject matter either. Furthermore, when it decides to stop being so generous, it doesn't check in with you. Time is freely given but is not under a promise of any sort to do other than what it is supposed to do or intended. which is to obey, the time giver first, & then, everyone else remains a visitor or guest of time
THIS IS SOBERING
The only time guaranteed to anyone is the very moment you are in. The mind counters this with thoughts that take us into past, present and future journeys, distractions and occupations but time has the final say so. Now we cannot manipulate or bargain with time but perhaps learn to use it wisely for worthy purposes. Consider the following and also consider taking the "time" to do so....
1. To make a living? yes to this. Time well spent and necessary.
2. To enjoy life and all its mysteries...Make time for this
3. To help another? Always a good subject and the benefits exceed earthly values and increase inner rewards. Time well spent
4. To spend on oneself? We all have to be reminded of this at some point to keep the "happy" going.
5. How about to explore? Growth awaits the seeker, and this is a good investment in time
6. What about not giving it away or letting someone else abuse it? Let no one rob you of this.
TIME REVEALS
When someone takes the time and it doesn't matter what it is, to do or not do something, note this. Not lending one's time says quite a bit as much as donating time does. Time remains a qualifier and a "tell" of people and what they hold dear
EXAMINE IT
It is so valuable that if broken down to the millisecond, it would be a precious commodity like a drop of water in the desert. This is demonstrated when you try to hold your breath, do a game show, on vacation, or visit with a friend. Time can also come against you if spent it behind bars, in the hospital or wasted it foolishly i.e. with nothing to show for the spending of it. People BIDE time on whether to use it or not, but paradox visits with us.
WORTHY NOTE: There is no such thing as "time" out. Nor can it be paused.
TIME THOUGHTS
Why does time fly when you are having fun? Why does it slow down when we are bored? On the start of vacations, it speeds along. When vacation winds down, it drags. In heavy traffic, time punishes us. Fast food honors time (eat now) while five-star dining says take your time. People get offended if you waste their time. They also ask you for yours, something precious. Nature, weather & space flows with it while man comes and goes according to the mood and want of the host.
WORTHY NOTE: Time well spent is time allotted to being still, a mystery of itself
BE MY GUEST
When going about your daily business, put a premium not only on your time, but on the time of others as well. There is only so much of "you" in time to go around, and we are guests of time and not the other way around.
BTW...I am keeping this post brief to honor time both yours & mine
