The alarm goes off at its normal Time, I slept my normal Time. I thanked God for another day and then looked at my busy schedule to see what things I could slide in depending on how much Time that I had in between each meeting. It then truly hit me… the importance and magnitude of Time. I stopped to sit back down to give God more TIME and that’s when we connected. He gave me the quotes and I had to go look them up because I never heard of them or knew where they originated from 😂. He really be like “Yo! Here you go; go find it!”
I found that they are Jack Kornfield's interpretation of Buddhist teachings dealing with time.
“There is one simple wrong with you – you think you have plenty of time ... If you don’t think your life is going to last forever, what are you waiting for? Why the hesitation to change?”
“Life is short; make good use of it.”
“We procrastinate by putting off important things because we think we have time to do them later. But there may not be any ‘later' since we are all here on borrowed time.”
This really HIT like that Soul Food spot I finally found here in Texas because my recent trip back home to GA made me realize a lot. This is the understanding that I take from it.
