Time.

 Heyy beautiful people!!

     "I don't have enough time!" "There's not enough hours in the day" "I need more time" are all quotes that I'm certain many of us are overly familiar with. Well, surprise, surprise, the tittle of today's post is Time. As I spent most of yesterday thinking about how this adjective controls our lives and silently rules the world without many of us even realising so, I thought it best to share some of the things I discovered with you.

1) Time is all we have.

2) Time is all we do not have.

Before you start thinking I'm a complete nutter, please hear me out. Okay. So apart from the fact that what I discovered is obviously an oxymoron, it is also very true. I like to think of time as the air we breathe. Its the only thing every single new born child comes with and its the only thing missing when we die. Its the only thing that is completely free and most often, it is the only thing that is completely taken for granted. It really is the first thing we are given so revel in it. Relax and let your hair down more often.

The second one I discovered is not as obvious and literal as the first one but many of us are far more aware of this one. This is also the one that living in London really taught me. The importance of having a sense of urgency cannot be stressed enough. The older I've gotten, the more I've realised how crucial timing is. In London, I planned my time so succinctly that me getting on the tube 5 seconds later could cost me the first 10 most important minutes of the lecture. I still got to the lecture. I still got the overall gist but had perhaps missed the most important sentence or couple of sentences in the whole lecture. While time is all we have, getting the timing right with everything we do in the time is more important. All you need to do is walk into a hospital ward that has people fighting to breathe or meet somebody that has been told they have 3 months left on earth to realise how precious time is.

In conclusion, relax and enjoy the time you have with your friends, children, husband and family, afterall, its all you've got with them! Nonetheless, never forget that there really is a time for everything and one of your main goals should be doing the right thing at the right time. Remember, time waits for no one, so if you are not in it at the right time, it just ticks on right past your very eyes!

Have a great day!

Yours sincerely,
