The Clock Is Ticking, Better Hurry

Posted: Feb 26, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

How often do you find yourself procrastinating?  That the project due next week can wait.  That the fishing trip with your family can wait.  That the visit to your elderly parents can wait.  That the health screening can wait.  That the meal with your best friend can wait.  That your reading can wait.  That your dreams can wait.

Our time on earth is limited.  We do not live forever.  Yet, we seem to forget this and live as if there is always a tomorrow.  We postpone the things we need to do, the time we need to spend with our friends and loved ones as well as our dreams, thinking that time is always on our side.  And we tell ourselves that, one of these fine days, we will find a time to do it.

It is common for students to wait till the last minute before preparing for examination.  It is common for tax payers to file their tax return on the very day of the deadline.  It is not surprising to see passengers arriving at the boarding gate seconds before the gate closes.  But, the problem is, we do not know when the gate will close on us.  There is no guarantee that we will live up to a ripe age of 80 years old, or for that matter, any age.

Don't gamble with time.  The clock is ticking, better hurry.  Don't get busy over things that will not matter at the end of the journey.  Do the things that are close to your heart.  Make time for your loved ones.  If there is something that you have always wanted to do, but have not done so for one reason or another, hesitate no further.  Do it before it's too late as there will not be a last call for boarding to your next destination.

    before too late

    There are periods in which a relationship is bound to be put on the test and start facing some serious issue. And as soon as those problems arise, it's almost guaranteed that one of the partners is going to suffer more than the other. Assuming that you're in this situation at the moment, it's more than likely a fact that the thought of losing her is nearly killing you and it's hard for you to cope with reality.

    Can you think of any negative or limiting beliefs you are currently holding? Whether of yourself, another person, an activity, a place, a type of food, a type of job etc. Be open to the possibility that what you are holding may not really be the truth even though you may have held them for ages. Think about it. Re-look at it. And hopefully something wonderful and refreshing awaits you.

    Sometimes we can get terribly upset and hurt when others let us down especially so if they are our loved ones. Our world shatters when their behavior runs counter to the way we expect them to be. We harbor ill feelings. We bear a grudge. We cannot accept their behavior. Why must they hurt us like that? Before you wallow further in your sorrows, why not ask yourself, "Hey, am I perfect in the first place?"

    Have you ever been told that you are hopeless at something? Have you ever been told that you are not cut out for a job? Have you somehow lost faith after having gone through some bad experiences? If your answer is positive, do have second thought. Re-examine the situation. Be open to possibility as the truth may turn out to be otherwise.
