How is your relationship with Time? Normally, we think of relationships with people but not with things like Time. Your relationship with Time can reveal a lot. If you find that you say, “I don't have enough”. Your perception is that Time is stingy – not generous. If you say, “I am getting dragged around lately.” Then you are giving your power away to Time when in fact it is you that has the power based on your perception.
Time seems to respond to your perception of it. If you have never given this a thought then your relationship with Time to this point has been unintentional. I have days where minutes and sometimes hours have been blanked as I lost my awareness of the very moment I was in and how generous that moment was.
What is your intention regarding Time today? What would you like your relationship with Time to be like? Would you like Time to be more responsive to you as your partner? Are you willing to be compassionate of all that you demand of Time as you would any partner in any relationship?
Time does not feel the stress that we put on it – we feel the stress. Time does not know our expectations and demands. Those come from us. Time is consistent as a partner and just shows up as one Moment and it is up to us to use it as creatively as we can to accomplish what is most important to us.
I wish you intentional Time as the Month of October passes before us. May you respect time as you dance with it each moment today – all 1440 generous minutes…
