As I roll my month calendar, as I think about the days spent, I am surprised that two months of 2018 is over. While giving it a thought, there were numerous things that happened past two months, yet I feel that the time just flew by and I cannot quantify my actions. I am sure most of us feel the same and in no time, we will be ready to welcome 2019, without even looking back and analyzing the past year. While we question our schedule and time, do we value time in true sense?

We think that we are being productive and making the most of time, but we need to understand that there is more than being in the present, there is more than just showing up. Easier said than done, is why we must practice, many aspects of strongly being in present. We must not be obsessed with having things go other than the way they are going. We need to let things be and it will resolve itself. Life happens. What we do not want to do is spoil this moment worrying about that moment. This way everyone loses, and most importantly, time is lost.

We should also appreciate what time makes us do, and how strong we become in some situations that we had never thought of. We could have a different approach to various circumstances and each attitude being ours, reflected according to the phase in life we are at. It is super interesting to observe the same person responding to similar situation in different ways. I feel the biggest continuous challenge that we are facing is the time. It has rewards and scores for our life in its own way but the sad bit is, it cannot be repeated once attempted. If we follow this mantra very actively in our day-to-day life, we might make our choices differently.

In addition, we need to realize that the time for us as humans is short, shorter than we imagine it to be. Our journey of life is going to be so different if we get too busy chasing down the extraordinary which on the bigger picture will matter by the end. What will matter is the joy that comes to us in ordinary moments.
