Topic #2 - Making Time
I'm sure you have heard the expression "make time" more than once. Whether it has been mentioned directly to you or someone else, it is something that I'm sure we all hear everyday. What does it really mean to "make time?" We all have our daily routines and responsibilities; some have work, others have family.. and some of us out of no consequence of our own have to do both.
How do we "make time?" Do we ignore our obligations and responsibilities? Yes, plans change, life changes... and in turn, so do our responsibilities and obligations. We cannot physically make time.. as much as we long for that extra hour of the day (daylight savings time does not count). We cannot ask for a 3rd day to a very short weekend or that extra hour to just sleep in. The world keeps on spinning, life keeps moving and we have to move along with it.
We've all been told do not put off something you can do today until tomorrow. Tomorrow is never promised, right? Yet, the question remains. What does it take to "make time?".... In order to "make time" we actually have to go against these statements. Yes, put off that work until tomorrow and go play that your instrument that has been collecting dust on its stand. The house will not clean itself, but do put the chores on hold for a rainy day and go and spend that time outdoors you've been craving. Forget the show you are binge watching on your couch and take that long bike ride you've been meaning to take for weeks. Go for that walk. Plan that mini-vacation. Do not waste the time you do have. We cannot "make time," but we can choose how to spend the time we do have. Do not get caught up in the day to day. Make life an adventure. Make memories that are impossible to forget. In doing these things, we "make time" to live. Isn't that the point? to Live?
