The Winds of Time in Life

The most precious gift of life is time and it is not free, because if it was, why do we have to work so hard through every phase.

That’s my take, nothing free in life, with freedom comes a price, and I believe the price for freedom is worth every penny.

Tick Tick says the clock, what you have to do, do quick — so says life too. Time ticks, and with every second it questions us on what we are doing, jerking us to the reality that we are not lifeless and we need motion, need purpose.

Some days it feels like one is stuck in the wheels of time, searching for meaning only to be back again to figuring out what we do with our time. I guess I can boldly testify that every “what is my purpose here on earth' kind of book I have read, never gave a long lasting answer to what I needed.

Purpose felt more like evolution than a goal.

You wake up one morning with a goal and the next moment you are lost in finding the sense of purpose.

However, when we see life as a state of evolution our eyes would be fixed beyond just a goal but a ‘progressive goal' that changes with time. Now goals are no longer goals but 'goals open to changes’. Time is now more meaningful because you would be preparing for the next evolution.

My life tip to you is to break free from the idea that purpose is about becoming ‘one' thing, when it is much more than that, because life is purpose, and purpose is about evolution- man taking action to change his current state.

Take a moment to think your life in parts, one aspect of you is career inclined, another values relationships, another focused on spiritual connections, which is proof enough that we are not to live life with one goal in mind but to look through all aspects of our lives and measure how much evolution has occured.

Are you a more better human than you were last month?

Take a moment to breathe, you are not confused about life or lost, you are focusing on the wrong things, life is not made up of goals but evolution.
