There is nothing profound about leaving other than the fact that it reminds you that all time is borrowed. Nothing really belongs to any of us, but I suppose everything really belongs to all of us. Ownership is the ultimate illusion, the Great Lie of our Modern Society.
Most importantly, embracing this “zero ownership” state of being is allowing me to be not-so-subtly reminded that there are no guarantees when it comes to time. In fact, time doesn’t really exist at all. Existence is defined exclusively through the perception of the observer. This observer perceives time to have raced onward at a pace with which I could barely keep up.
Above all else, I am reminded that time should never be wasted. We think we have years, but we really have months. The perception that time runs on forever is flawed when we insert ourselves into the equation. The moment we enter the picture, time is shortened. Our days are numbered, our time finite and minuscule when compared to The Grand Scheme.
That’s the lesson I learned again and share: time is short. Don’t ever believe that tomorrow is guaranteed. Remain optimistic, but always be realistic. If you have something to do, then do it. No waiting until tomorrow. Opportunities are ethereal. Grab hold when you can.
Like I said, nothing profound…
