Time – for most of life, it has been my arch nemesis. Anyone who knows me well over the past 5 years or so has probably heard me complain about daylight savings, since I live on the border between QLD and NSW. Daylight savings now goes for about 6 months in the year.
I have spent most of my life being late, losing big chunks of time due to illness or fatigue and feeling like there wasn’t enough time to complete things in a day.
In fact, in my macrostructural pattern, step #8 of 25 is “Time runs outs (literally or in my mind)”, where I experience anxiety and nerves. That’s how much I’ve ingrained it into my personality and viewpoint of life.
But this past year, my relationship with time has been remarkably different. I still had little mishaps with time – although not to the same intensity as it once was. I attribute this to some realisations and insights regarding money also, which is not as weird as it might seem. We’ve all heard the phrase “Time = money”.
As just like money is a man-made construct, so too is time.
When you have a proper think about it – what is time?
