Often we are too concerned with the plans we try to make for our lives or the idea of how we want things to go. This inevitably causes us to create deadlines in our minds. There is a time for us to grow up. There is a time for us to fall in love. There is a time for us to get married. There is a time for us to have kids. There is a time for everything but the problem with time is that even though we can see the seconds ticking away on a watch, we can’t make things happen to us just because we believe it is “that time”.
It is a nice thought to be able to plan out when you want things in your life to happen but what if they don’t go according to your plan? What if you have kids before you expected to or you never end up getting married even though you want to? What if you die at 36 instead of 80 like you thought you would or you never end up with the high ranking executive job you planned to have? What if you get cancer or live your life never having any major amount of money in the bank? Is your life any less important? Does your existence in this world suddenly become insignificant?
There are 60 seconds in every minute, 60 minutes in every hour, 24 hours in every day, and 365 days in every year. Those numbers may be facts but in our lives, none of those numbers are guaranteed. Every second, minute, day and year are a gift and we should enjoy it rather than stress away over the fact that we have to make certain things happen at certain times. Sure there is a time for everything but I think I'd rather believe that everything comes in time and we should enjoy the time in between now and everything.
