The value of this TIME
This world holds our humanity in a space which sometimes does not makes sense to me.
I reflect on the last few days and wonder, are we entirely, openly and authentically learning the lessons that this virus is teaching us?
Are we paying attention to what matters?
Are we recognising the REAL opportunities this virus is giving us?
Imagine if TIME was MONEY, are you appreciative that you have just won the lottery of TIME?
On numerous occasions, I have heard it repeatedly said, that "time is our greatest asset." Now the universe has given millions of us an equal playing field. PAUSE!
I hear you say; "we wanted more time, but not like this." Well more of us should have been specific.
However, the question is, if time is our greatest asset, what did you or do you want more time for?
Taking reasonable and sensible precautions must not be neglected. However, for me, this is a windfall that I am going to grab and be grateful for with both hands because this is an opportunity to be deliberate and see this as a:
- Time to be still
- Time to think
- Time to be kind
- Time to be patient
- Time to focus
- Time to learn
- Time to learn how to receive love and accept it
- Time to invest in me
- Time to give love
- Time to reflect
- Time to grow
- Time to be forgiving to me and others
- Time to connect
- Time to laugh from my gut
This virus is a global reminder that we have more that connects us, then divides us. However, not all of us are prepared physically, emotionally, spiritually, financially, or mentally, for this journey. But if you have been blessed with this opportunity, what are you going to do with it?
This may also be a time to reflect on how we treat each other? The nurses, teachers, cleaners and the list goes on. If we think about it, the value of these professions is no greater now, than it was before the crisis. All that has happened is that we have come to reflect on their true value now and suddenly appreciate them as we would a celebrity or someone wealthy and 'powerful'. We have globally and temporarily shifted our focus of appreciation.
Congratulations! You have won the lottery of time, how are you going to invest it?
