As I am getting older, time seems to be going at a quicker pace than it used to. In the past, a year seemed like a long time; however, a year now seems like a short amount of time. And as I am entering my next decade of life, I understand that my life will pass me by if I don’t live with intention. I need to take steps in my life to make sure I am living a meaningful, intentional life. In this video, I share five lessons on time that help you control the speed of time in your life.
1. Forgiveness Is The Only Path Forward
Often we live in the past and allow our negative experiences from our past prevent us from moving forward in life to create new experiences. A man named “Anthony Ray Hinton” was incarcerated for 30 years for a crime he didn’t commit and once he was released from prison he spoke about the importance of forgiveness in the healing process and said, “If I am angry and unforgiving, they will take the rest of my life.” It is important to live with forgiveness in your life and not allow your past experiences to prevent you from living in the present because then your life will pass you by.
2. The Speed Of Time Is Connected To Experiences
For most people, childhood is the slowest phase of life where you gain many memories. I believe that this is because when you are a child you have traits like curiosity, excitement, and the willingness to learn that create many memories; however, when we become adults we often are set in our ways, blase, and unwilling to learn, which makes us live the same day over and over. When you try new things, you create new memories in your life. And when you have these new memories, time slows down a bit. In order to not let life pass you by, it is important to constantly be trying new things.
3. Nothing Will Happen Unless You Make It Happen
For many people, they wait for this ideal moment in life to take a risk to seek what they want; however, this moment doesn’t exist. There will never be a moment in life where everything is ideal, but you have to make it happen or it won’t happen. Nobody will ever knock on your door to offer you some opportunity. If you spend your life waiting for a perfect moment, then things will never happen. In order to not let life pass you by, it is important to take steps in your life to make things happen.
4. Freedom Is A Mindset Over Anything Else
Freedom has been something I have been thinking a lot about because it is a very complex topic. Before, I believed that freedom was connected to money and the more money you have the more freedom you have; however, now I know that this is not true. I believe that freedom is more about mindset than money, and it is important to be in this mindset where you believe in yourself and trust that things will work out. If you have the belief that freedom directly comes from money, you risk fast forwarding through the greatest parts of your life and might be met with disappointment. In order to not let life pass you by, it is important to chase freedom in your life instead of believing that it will just come to you.
5. The Future Is Not Some Place, But Something We Are Creating Now
We spend a huge chuck of our lives living in the future. We believe that the future is this place where we will be met with many surprises; however, the future is determined by what you are doing today. In the past seven months, I have been really focused on living in the present because I have so much uncertainty in my life; however, I have come to the realization that it doesn’t matter how much certainty you have in life because the present is still all you have. When you fully immerse yourself in the present and give it all you have, your future will probably be some better version of what you are doing now. Life won’t pass you by because you are not spending your whole life in the future.
