Each of us holds an intimate relationship with time, yet so often we underestimate its value.
We grumble about people who seem to 'waste' our time, but rarely do we realize that we are the ones allowing it. After all, we have the power to choose who gets our attention, our care, our precious time.
Consider this: why do we let someone become our priority if we're only an option to them?
Time is a precious currency, and we ought to spend it wisely, investing it in those who truly value our presence.
The tragic irony is that too often, we only realize someone's worth when their time with us has run out.
We, as humans, are inclined to procrastinate, to push things off into the future, to delay, under the assumption that time is an inexhaustible resource.
But time, as per Buddha's wisdom, is more than just the ticking of a clock or the turning of a calendar page. It's the moments of joy, sorrow, triumph, and loss. It's the period to love, to learn, to grow, and to understand. It's the opportunity to make a difference, to create change, and to leave a legacy.
Time is free but it's priceless, as the saying goes. This paradoxical truth drives home the notion that time, while it costs us nothing, holds infinite value.
The moments that make up our lives are irreplaceable treasures that, once gone, can never be reclaimed. You can't own time, you can't hoard it, you can't keep it for a later date. But you can use it, you can live it.
And thus, Buddha's words serve as a gentle reminder: the sands of time are ever falling, and each grain is a moment of life we will never get back.
If we continue to labor under the false assumption that we have limitless time, we risk spending our lives waiting for a future that may never come instead of cherishing and making the most out of each present moment.
The essence of time is the essence of life itself.
So, invest your time in people who treasure your presence, and choose to nourish the voice within you that spurs you towards growth, compassion, and love.
After all, the moments we live are the moments that define us, shaping our lives into a beautiful tapestry woven with threads of time.
Share this message with your network, spread the value of time, and together, let's live our moments with purpose. Because time is the one thing we all share, and understanding its worth, makes all our lives richer.
I love you ❤️
