Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin', into the future - Steve Miller Band
There are a lot more songs about time where that came from. Really it's kinda crazy how many there are. Just look it up.
Time is a pretty crazy thing when you sit back and think about it. We can only go forward in it. I'm willing to bet though, most of us would like to try and go back for part of it. Maybe do some things over again. Maybe make a better decision or not do something we ultimately did. I think that's just the human nature in us. I do it quite a bit, but I also have to remind myself to live in the here and now. Ultimately life is going to keep on going and time is a really important factor in our life. It defines our workday. It defines our weekend. It defines our time with the friends and family we love. It defines major points in our lives. I think our biggest fear is wasting it all away. I know there are several times I'm afraid I'm wasting it. I have to remember though that I control a big portion of my own time and what I do with it. I'll admit I'm not always the greatest at it either. Sometimes I just veg out or choose my time over the time I should be dedicating to the people I love. I'm sure many of you feel the same way. Why am I saying all of this? Well, I think it's self-reflection. I think maybe we should all try and make time for the important things in life. Whether that's spending time with your spouse or maybe spending time with friends. Those are the times where we get recharged for life. And maybe, just maybe, we should put down our phones in order to make that time mean something. So, maybe it's time (pun intended) to plan a dinner with no distractions. Maybe it's time to go on that walk to clear your head. Maybe it's that time to talk to someone you haven't talked to in a long time. Whatever it is, make it meaningful. Time is only going to continue to go forward and it's our job to make sure it's headed in the right direction.
P.S. To all you time travelers, how do you do it?
