Why Is Time Your Master

Why Is Time Your Master

How many times have you moaned about the past that controls you?
The memories . . . good and bad,
The incidents  . . . bad and worse,
The experiences . . . worse and horrific.

How many times have you yearned for the future that you can't have?
The dream that is unreachable,
The joys that you shouldn't deserve,
The love that is not quite yours.

Caught between the plumbline of extremes, from the past to the future, never satisfied, always wishing, pleading, making excuses and settling for the mediocre!

Time has become YOUR master and its controls the life that you have. Each step that you take and each decision that you make, draws tension between the past and the future. They are caught in a dance that  will not release you.

- Change is about TIME -

"Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours; scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow." 
Denis Waitely,  The Joy of Working

Change declares war on an attitude which places TIME in the balance!

Your very future is dependant on what you think, say and do now. If you want to repeat yesterday or last year or a decade ago, then simply remember it and project it into your future. 

If you do not want to repeat the past, 
then arrange a TIME, 
when you can take the TIME, 
to spend a little TIME by yourself
For it is better late than never,
And TIME does fly,
So beat the clock and,
Remember that it is high TIME ,
that you make up for lost TIME,
and only in the nick of TIME,
For NOW is the eternal forever. (JB)

Life is a priviledge people!

Death has never elevated a person from a state of ignorance to one of wisdom, so this is your life and your chance to do things differently . . .

Change the way that you treat TIME. Give it the respect that it deserves knowing that it has a final hour and after that is a mystery. 
Love your family as much as you possibly can,
Cherish your friends as much as they deserve,
Respect your position as much as you possibly know,
Enjoy your life as much as you can allow,
Deserve everything that your heart desires,
Give as much as you have to give,
Receive as much as you are willing to accept,
Finally, acknowledge as much of the Divine within as possible! (JB)

  And yet everything says otherwise . . . I will begin with a story that speaks volumes. Years ago I met a dog, who upon approach, always lay down and turned onto its back to show its belly. A very submissive action, and no matter how I approached that dog, I could not get it to stand to be patted or given a treat. I tried and tried over an over, adjusting my countenance, voice and body langauge . . . but nothing seemed to work. So I gave it some deep thought and decided to change my approach, and whenever I was in its vicinity I would go and sit in a chair . . . I did not go towards it at all. It did not take long before that dog would creep over to where I was and the same as before, it would throw itself on the ground at my feet. I knew that a small aspect had changed but it was not enough. So, I adjusted my approach again and when I sat in that chair, I would place my arm on the armrest and dangle my hand just enough over the end, so that the dog could see it.  Eventually,...

The Way of the Wise Soul

  And the paths ahead! The world is weary with information and concepts thrown haphazardly out into the public domain. One would assume that with all the words spliced together to form sentences thickened with colourful meanings, there would be a clear and direct way of smoothly navigating reality. But this is duality! Reality navigation is necessary. The obstacles, options, choices, and unique skills weave a path loaded with dichotomy and adventure. The routes through this reality are designed to go anywhere imaginable and without boundaries except for the limitations within the consciousness of the dreamer. Heavens? There are many. And hells? There are even more because they are manifested by creative minds. Going on an average of daily thoughts per person, we can safely say that it is easier to imagine the worst than the best. Just look around and listen to the voices! Why would the world be in its current position? Regardless of your beliefs about politics, religions,...

An idiot waiting to blossom

AN IDIOT WAITING TO BLOSSOM Like most idiots, the flower remains tightly bound to its current course and holds stubbornly to a divine procedure. It must remain tightly bound and closed to the world for an allotted time before it is signalled to open slowly.   Inside its complex being, there is held a kaleidoscope of colours, fragrances and beauty and the best kept secret . . . the ability to seed others just like it! The idiot in the same picture, does this slightly differently - Bound by time, as is the blossom, and sheltered from the world, as is the blossom, the idiot struggles and resists the natural divine procedure. From within the idiot bloom, there arises chaos and an intimate internal struggle - one half wanting to remain closed and unseen and the other, wanting immediate exposure . Both . . . unnatural. The idiot's struggle is both insecure and unsure, as well as ambitious and brave and whilst being natural ingredients for the right kin...
