If I only had more time we say.
Yet, the only one truly without enough time is dead.
So, is it lack of time or misuse of time?
Are we giving ourself truly to each moment?
Or do we muli-task and multi-tech
to the brink of illness and insantiy?
Life is here. Life is now.
We know that with the good, comes bad at times.
But it is not so black and white.
Every bane may hide a blessing.
Every burden may hide a gift.
Lest we stop counting moments and
begin making moments count...
Lest we stop running circles in our minds
and begin actually moving...
Lest we keep merely exercising our rights
and not our minds or bodies...
then we cannot truly live.
Because the same tired, exhausted anxiety
is worth continued sacrificial sleep.
And we refuse to self-nurture and rest
until we self-destruct.
We cannot measure our worth in
virtual friends, likes and followers.
virtual friends, likes and followers.
Notifications and status updates cannot be welcome distractions
while we ignore the actual people who sit near.
Inarguably, connection is good and we thrive on interaction.
But we must be careful not to overfill our calendars
for fear of being alone.
Time alone need not be lonely.
It can be a time of growth.
If we took time to get to know ourself,
we could know one truly interesting being.
And while we are being,
May we remember that ideas
become vision through action.
Dreams are achieved in steadfastness.
Forward is forward no matter how slow.
We are never so far down that we cannot crawl
or silenced so that we cannot pray.
Our worst day may be
someone else's norm and
our failure is only such if we do not learn.
More, more, more is not a true measure
of time or riches.
For the only one without enough time is dead
and the poorer is he who did not live the
life he was given.
