Time to talk about time.

We use the concept of time to organize our reality. We made up different increments that represent different amounts of time, and we accept it as fact.

Obviously the organizational benefits of time for scheduling and planning are important and almost unquantifiable when it comes to productivity in society.

Here’s where it often gets twisted. We get caught in the trap of time, forgetting an important truth. Time as we know it is an illusion, a mirage, a concept we accept.

But what really is time? A way to measure, and quantify the ever present now. Time allows us to structure our lives and plan things, to prepare and synchronize.

Just don’t get caught in the trap… Stay here in the present, the past can teach valuable lessons and the future holds possibilities but we’re only alive here now.

Life is just one long moment. The future will arrive in the present moment, the past played out in the present moment, you’re reading this in the present moment.

Dreaming of who well become in an ideal future is fun and all but… We have to become our future selves now, in this moment, we can’t keep putting off the work.

We have to avoid our past self now too. Otherwise we can easily stay stuck in old habits and ruts we started years ago, in a time when we were different people.

We must evolve and flow with the current of life, that means being adaptable and curious, always open to learning and updating our knowledge and information.

Don’t fear the future, the only thing to fear is fear itself. Don’t dwell on the past, it’s gone now, trying to change it is like trying to re-order the stars, good luck…

Let’s not live in fear. let’s not to judge the present moment, let’s be aware in our lives and work on improving our current circumstances to the best of our abilities.

Don’t fight with where you are, lack and resistance aren’t helpful. Instead embody who you want to be in the future today, do the things dream you would do daily.

People wait for the perfect moment, but the moment is now. Bring your future self in the present and stop waiting for the right time. Here and now is what we’ve got.

This is a reminder for myself as well, just like my other posts… So what are you waiting for? What can you do today to begin actually building your dream life?
