Time flies they say …………or does it ?

WE actually fill our plates so much that we feel as though we are running out of time and for some of us or most of us these days we are.

Where does the time go ? Countless hours are spent on the internet, its a time sucking machine..we plan to just surf the latest gadgets for 20 minutes it turns into 2 hours…we look for our dream homes and that becomes another 2-3 hour ordeal..by the time we look up its time to go and we didn’t accomplish much..or did we ?

Time has always been a phenomenon , since we live in moments and the moment right now is changing into the next moment how does time fit in…our memory banks are loaded with past memories of a “slower” time period , and we find ourselves always reflecting to the past …is it to capture a glimpse at time well spent ?

I am also guilty of this, looking back in order to better spend my time looking forward – but I find that most of us forget to look at the present, the right now, the moment you have in front of you to help someone, to kiss your child, to thank your husband or wife..this very moment to make a decision on whether to buy or rent , sell or keep your home ..the very moment that we are presented with is always taken for granted.

WE always feel that we have tomorrow, but tomorrow becomes yesterday, and yesterday is gone except for the picture in our memory banks of what we could have done differently or what we should have done…then we look again ahead to tomorrow…

Time , as we get older seems to go faster, technology has placed us on super speed, we are trying to live up to the speed of technology and if you look around its only accelerating our moments in the present to become moments in the past or tomorrow…

Is anyone out there feeling that the moment in front of us, isn’t real time ….this moment that Im spending to type this out will become my “last” post …when in this moment its my present …….

What is time ? Can we find ways to capture this very present moment and cherish it , and make it memorable ?

Are we capable of not thinking about tomorrow ? Can we live moment by moment, day by day ?

Share your thoughts on time with me ! I would love to hear how you make decisions, spend your moments in the present when situations occur, when you see someone crying, laughing or in a bind ? Yelling at a child or a child confused >>>

I was sitting on a bench near my son’s school eating lunch at 250p, alongside me sat a 6th Grader ..he looked conflicted..he looked at me and said, so you are eating lunch now ? I said yes .. I was busy earlier. .. I said so you are done with school today, he said yes ..enjoy the sunshine it wont last too long I said. His friend came out, he says hey you taking the test tomorrow ? Friend said yes, he grumbled and mumbled its hard .. I took my moment in time and said to him, you will do just fine, you will learn from this test, don’t be afraid of paper, in life we are always tested .. he said you don’t understand its hard I don’t know maybe I will not pass … I said what does your father do ? he said a nurse, I said I’m sure he took many tests before he became a nurse, he said yes …Look at the test as a way to learn and do not be afraid of it , if it’s too hard study more ..you will do just fine. Then he asked me what do I do, what does my husband do ? I went on to explain that I am tested, all the time in Real Estate ..continuing Education, and from the public when they ask me questions about areas and investments ..

he got it, he now looked relieved … like taking a test is not the end all its the beginning of learning new things and the opportunity to improve upon the things we don’t know well.

I used my moments in time to change his moments of uncertainty, confusion, and confliction …

Hope to see this kid Monday and ask him how it went ! Enjoy the weekend.

Spend your time wisely.
