We ain't got enough time

 

24 hours a day, 168 a week, 8760 an year, but we still can’t find enough time. The clock ticks the same everywhere. But why is it that, no matter where we look, some of us (well, most) can never find time for anything? 

Someone asks us to complete a work within a given deadline and we fail to do it. Why? Because we didn’t get enough time. A friend calls and says “long time no see” and our immediate response is “I so badly wanted to talk to you but I didn’t even get time”. So what’s the big deal with this time? Why is it so hard to find?Truth is, we never really attempt to find it. And what we do is, we blame everything on time. We make it seem like we don’t get 60 minutes every hour like everyone else does..

 Time is not something that you buy or rent or own. But it is something infinite and it continues to exist even when we cease to. We can’t store or preserve it. There is no reservoir of time that we would run out of. We just need to know how to effectively utilize it. That is the key. 

In fact, it is not really a matter of time but priorities. We all have the same amount of time in a day like every other person in this world has; we just don’t know to sort out our priorities. No matter how busy we are with our work, studies, chores, duties, be it anything, the truth is we’d still have enough time left, to do the other things in our list as well. We just don’t choose to. Instead, we complain about how hectic our life is, our problems and our pains. When we fail to do something, our first instinct is to bring up the excuse of not getting enough time. 

If you love singing; used to sing a lot and now you don’t, that means you are not so passionate about singing like you used to be and it has been automatically pushed down your priority list. Same applies when you say you can’t find enough time to spend with your parents, hang out with friends or have fun with your own children. It only implies that they are no longer on top of your priority list. 

When we tidy up the mess that our life has become and decide what is important to us and what is not, what interests us the most and what doesn’t, what we can’t live with and without, everything will start falling on track and automatically our pace will align with that of time’s. 

Time- There is no shortage or abundance, but just enough for everyone, alike.
