Time, My Higher Power

I am in no way, shape, or form a religious man. I'd say I am more on the spiritual side of everything. That being said I do have a higher power, it's just not the same as everyone else.

Time.

Time is my higher power, it's the one thing that is always there and you can't ignore it.

There is never enough of it.

This is reality and it's a tough one at times. We all think we have all the time in the world, well time is the least abundant resource we have. None of us know when our number is up and that's reality. So thinking you have all the time in the world, nope, not even close. We never know when the last time we are going to see someone or talk to someone is. It may not be them leaving this plain for the great beyond, they just might be gone. Granted there are factors involved with that but don't think you have time to make things right. Time grabs you and makes you realize you had your shot, so never waste your time.

There is too much of it

I know this is counteracting what I just said but it's just as true. There are times you'll find yourself just counting the seconds as they tick by. Every tick making your brain wander a little farther. Use your time and keep your brain on a leash. Don't use it to dwell on things because that will make one second seem like an hour. All of that is time you will never get back. If you dwell on things you run the risk of depressing the hell out of your self, or worse, lashing out at someone else. You don't deserve that, they don't deserve that. Don't waste your time worrying about things your have no control over, don't go down that rabbit hole because it is a long climb out of it.

The other great thing about time is that it goes on, just like life. Time can heal all wounds, just make sure you heal them rather than carry them with you. You never want your then to affect your now. Somewhere I lost track of that and didn't even realize it, because I thought I had time.

Everything on this world takes time and never rush it. You'll find yourself backwards in time quicker than you think. That's where you make your seconds count. Don't waste them on being the person you don't want to be.

This year I thought I had all the time in the world, nope. Well the last week has brought me back from wherever I was. Changing your life means your need changes in your life. I'm making those changes and I feel more alive everyday. I wish I would've figured all this out sooner so I could've had more time, but that's life.

Don't let time get your down in the dumps. Remember this, you are 180 degrees from the dark side of your shadow, all it takes is to turn it all around.
