Understanding the essential of time is about what is within our control and what is not, so we have to choose to do what we can first.

There are matters in life where time is crucial. We can never procrastinate or always be in the waiting queue. When we wait for the right time to do what we had put away for so long, the right time will never come.

There are matters in life where time is not within our control. Time makes us aware that above our planning, there is another higher power in control.

Time teaches us a lot of lessons.

Look at the seasons. It is autumn now. The leaves turned red, brown, and yellow. Soon, those leaves will drop to the ground. The branches looked dried up. The trees looked dead. With a little bit of patience and time, new leaves will start to grow.

What does that tell us? There is a time for everything over activities under the Heavenly abode.

  • Bad things don’t last forever.
  • We won’t be at the bottom pit forever.
  • People will not stay at the top forever.

Some of us may be wondering and wandering where life takes us. We learned that the process or journey is important than the destination.

  • It is teaching us to find the beauty of every day even if there is ugly in it.
  • It is also teaching us to practice mindfulness.
  • Be a human and not a devil.

But we also need to know that the destination is as important as the process or journey. Without knowing the direction we head towards, we moved in life all over the place.

The outcome may not be as we wanted. But the vision of destination set the direction. It does help us to stay within the journey. When we constantly pay attention to our intentions, we will be more focused.

Even then, knowing the destination and going on the journey does not make the outcome a perfect fit to our expectations. God is the overall approval.

Time waits for no man when we are in need to do something today.

Some people wanted to write, but they put it off to another day. Some people bought a new mixer to make pizza or cupcakes, but they did not start to bake.

When we list a lot of worries of what if we definitely won’t move. When we depend on what others say, we start to limit ourselves. Even if our parents would not believe we would ever make it, it didn’t mean that was the final.

Worry when the time comes.

When is it that life does not bring us problems?

At every stage in life, we all have different challenges. I once met a taxi driver who shared with me that life is a challenge.

Either we take up the challenge, or we don’t see at least a bit of progress. Celebrate the little milestone of progress. Everyone defines success differently.

  • How many people rush after time to make sure they achieve their goals by a certain age? And when they did, they had earned more enemies.
  • How many strained towards their destination not to be left behind everyone else only to realize they did not have a happy family?

All they achieved in life seemed like a victory. In another area of life, there is still a failure.

I pray that the path will open for all of you wherever you are stuck. I pray that your passion burns hope again within you. Amin.

Everyone else can give up on us. We must not give up on ourselves. Amuse ourselves. Laugh in our way just as others could laugh by their means.

The world will not be looking at us because everyone is busy chasing after what they want.

Take a step at a time.

What is within our control, we do it. Do what we can first. Because once time is gone, we can never have it back.

As for the rest which we can’t control, keep the seed of faith and hope. We can learn to manage how we want to respond to it. Embrace ourselves. Look up with hope again.
