Trusting Time

“Give time time”

…Such a simple phrase, yet one that contains so much wisdom. Honestly, we get so caught up in planning for the future that we forget how to live in the present. We’re always thinking about what comes next rather than what is happening right now. We’re never able to take life day by day because of the way our society works- it’s nearly impossible!

Give time time. So what does that mean? Well, it means that we need to trust that things will happen when they’re suppose to happen. We need to believe that the universe has our best interests in mind. Everything happens for a reason, whether we figure out that reason in our lifetime or not. We need to give our life time to play out, leave time for things to happen, and give time time to work itself out. We are not the masters of time, we can’t control it, and we have no say in our ultimate fate.

We’ve become so impatient, not wanting to give time time. We want everything now. Society is becoming faster and faster. We no longer have to wait- we get results instantaneously. But, that means that we are getting used to having everything we want exactly when we want it. We don’t like to wait, we don’t want to work for things, and most of all, we crave a reassurance that the unpredictability of life just can’t give us.

You can’t speed time up or slow it down, so enjoy your wait, because that’s the best part. Once you have what you want, there’s nothing more to do. When there’s no more wait, you realize you’ve waisted what could have been something amazing and memorable just worrying about what was coming next.

…So, patience and trust is key in-order to change our mindsets. Time might be taking it’s sweet time, but it’ll happen if it’s meant to be.
