TIME

Time…it’s a true mystery that has puzzled so many people for a long time, may be for as long as we lived on earth. We always seem to want something and we want it right now. And that’s when the time factor interferes.

Now is the neutral state in time, then there’s the past and the future which are of much bigger interest. Because for most people- no matter how their present is or how much going on- there’s always a bigger interest in the memories of the past and the mysteries of the future.

Most of us, cause it’d be just slightly unfair to say all, can’t help it but regret certain past events and we also can’t help it but anxiously wait to peek in the future. I mean, who wouldn’t want to peek in the future, just a sneak peek to see what’s there for you. No matter how convinced you are that it’s very wrong and disturbing to do so, if we were allowed to or even given one shot at peeking into the future I say any of us would take it without blinking.

Same goes for the past; who wouldn’t take a chance – if given one- to go back in time to do right, fix a fatal mistake, or see a loved one just one more time.

And that’s why time is really interesting and mysterious, because we always wanna do the impossible with it; we wanna see the unseen and undo what’s been done. Even though we do know that by doing this we take away the very mystery that intrigues us, it’s still something that lies in the back of everyone’s mind.

And see, my problem is that I’ve never been good or come to terms with time since patience has never been one of my virtues.

It takes a very strong will to be able to neglect the time factor in your daily life, just do your thing and let everything else just flow and fall in its places. And it’s not just a matter of faith in God cause I do and very much so, but I lack the strong will. I know it’s a common mistake that many people share with me. But even as I acknowledge that I do have this flaw, I also admit that it’s so consuming.

Letting things be and trusting God with the mysteries of time have benefits beyond just being a believer. Imagine you had like a million pounds and didn’t know where to put them, or you had this secret that was agonizing you and didn’t know where to keep it. Then you go to the most trusted person you know, the one person you’d trust with your life, and leave it with him and trust it with him. How would you feel then?! Relief?! Peace?! Worry-free?!

Yes, exactly!!!

That’s how you feel when you truly and unconditionally trust God with your fate. Trust that if you do good and live by God’s laws your future will hold the best for you. Nothing you did in the past will make you regret, and you won’t miss good people you’ve lost cause you’d have many others and you’d all meet again in heaven some day.

I know, it’s all religious talk I’m saying. But as I said before it’s beyond that, because even if you really believe that in your heart, you’d still need the will to actually do it.

You’d need the will not to think about the past as hurtful memories rather as lessons to learn from, you’d need the will not to think of your loved ones as lost forever, you’d need the will not to worry too much about a future you can neither see nor change, and you’d need it not to ruin your present by crying over the past or obsessing about the future.

If we can find the will, we’d be able to live life..enjoy life and make the best of it cause today is tomorrow’s past. So, we make our past and earn our future simply by accepting and living our present..living it to the fullest: loving, working, learning, and believing…

God holds the best for the best. So, earn the future you’d like to live.
