Reality #17: No Time Is Wasted Time

I hear people talking a lot about time.

We need time to think. Time to speak our mind. Time to let go. Time to grow up. Time to move on. Time to heal. Time to just breathe.

A lot of people, myself included, have complained about wasting time on different people and events. We think going to a boring meeting is a waste of time. We think that when we get our heart broken then that person was a waste of time.

We say that we waste our time on things and people, and yet all we want is more time.

The reality is, time flies. It waits for no one. We complain and we hurt and we question why, but are those moments of time in our lives really wasted? Or is it those moments in time - the pain of heartache, the loss of someone, the boring, awful job - that allow us the opportunity to become a better person?

What we all should also learn is that time heals wounds. But we have to be the ones to not only allow them time to heal, but also allow ourselves the time and opportunity to step back and say that we will not let our time be wasted in vain, we will not let time hold us down. We will not let us hold our own selves down.

The time is there. The time is now. What will you do with yours?
