King Solomon once said, ” There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens…He [God] has made everything beautiful in its time…”
We wonder how we can seize time and put it on hold.
No matter how hard we try to freeze or slow down time, it can never happen; it will never happen.
Time is elusive. Time is intangible. It flows on its own.
Man hasn’t found any natural and artificial way to contain and manage time. We can only manage ourselves and our resources according to our chosen time.
We are grateful for the good things that had transpired. We dream to become better persons each passing day. We know that the best is yet to come.
Reflecting on the past makes us realize our character, top priorities and shortcomings. After reflecting, we have to change our mind and to move on. It’s a process of self-reflection and self-correction.
Gaining foresight—a better perspective of the future—would inspire us to keep on learning rapidly and correctly from our experience and from the experience of others.
But life is not just about the past and the future. We have to deal with the present also. Passing through challenges shape us into better persons, if that’s how we want to become. We must be assertive in making right decisions; otherwise, someone will decide for you. How we communicate our decisions is another story.
At the end of the day, many of us try to figure out if there are things we need to stop doing and to keep on doing, being mindful that we want to improve the quality of our life until we reach our twilight years.
