Time. Such a small and simple 4 letter word, but such a large meaningful thing to take in. It is what is on my mind today. In fact, there was a very strong thought in my mind that I could not go without thinking about. This thought was, "It's time to manage your time." I have felt a bit stretched out with all the things I have to do and the amount of time I have to do it in. This has become a serious problem. I wish I could tell you how I can fix this, but I really don't know yet. It is something I plan to work on and in the future I will give you an update.
Another thing that has been on my mind is how precious time really is. If I spend ten minutes on something that is a time waster...facebook... then that is ten minutes I can never get back. Really makes you think about what is important. Recently there have been a few things that I have had to choose between. For example, do I stay up late building relationships with friends, or go to bed and allow myself time to feel refreshed? It's a tough thing to be constantly aware of what you are doing with your time, but try to think about it. How much happier could you be if you decided to take a walk instead of playing video games? Or to study your assignment instead of stalking on Facebook. This is also something I need to work on. Life goes by quickly, so really live each moment in a worthwhile way. (PS, I hate when people say live each moment as your last because honestly if this was my last moment I would be having some epic adventure and in all reality your life cannot be made up of very epic constant moments, so if you live each moment in a worthwhile way then your life will be fulfilling)
My last thought on time, let it be on your side. Time is something I used to hate. I am not very patient and I still have issues waiting, but sometimes waiting is necessary. If you have never stood in line and waited for something you really wanted and then been totally satisfied with that waiting, you can never appreciate that thing fully. Also, you cannot appreciate instant gratification to its fullest if you have never waited. Waiting can be fun. If you are waiting for something big, enjoy life and the lessons it teaches while you are waiting. If you are waiting for something simple, learn to enjoy this wait by entertaining yourself, meeting new people, and just enjoying having time to anticipate the good. Time can be your friend. Rushing and fast-pacedness (totally made that word up) are not always the best. So enjoy the wait and time will become your ally in life.
Time is interesting. It is hard to manage, hard to prioritize, hard to make worthwhile, but can be your ally, friend, and teacher in life. Don't hate time and time won't hate you. Realize that it's time to manage your time and begin realizing what you need to do in order to make your time is spent in the best way possible.
Remember, no one likes a frowny face. Turn it around and smile some more! :)
