What Most People Learn Too late In Life !!

Hello Steemit Friends,

Do you sometimes come to sense and realized somethings and say to yourself why did i just understood that now !. It does not matter how many IQ tests we have scored the highest on or how many times we were top of the class. It also does not matter how many PhDs we have or what kind of higher education we received, some things can’t be taught, we only learn from life experience and so from that, even some of us still don't get the little messages that has been sent to us through time.

One of these things that people learn too late in life is time. We always hear people utter the words, “Time is of the essence,” and “Time is money” but how many times have you heard people say, “Time is life”? My guess is zero. Or at the slightest maybe only once.

I mean, think of it, you wake up every morning and check the time. On your way to work, you check the time, while at work you check the time and as you knock off too, guess what; you check the time. The use of time is not always at the glance at your watch or the clock on your phone. Using time doesn’t even require you to use the word itself or to follow strict patterns every day. But be rest assured, in whatever you do as long as you are alive, time is life.

Picture people that say they live their life ’on the free.’ They might tell you, “I don’t worry about time, you only live once, enjoy yourself.” Do those people really use time in their lives? Well, they might live a life that appears free of time but yes, they do use time. That is why they are focused on having fun now because “Life is short.” And what is life? Life is time and time is life.

Whenever you make a plan for the next day even without specifying at which time you will see a friend of yours. You are already making use of time. When we fall asleep our brain divides the sleep into five different stages all of which utilize time. Keep in mind that the brain doesn’t know when it is 10 PM, however, every stage of your sleep has its own duration which the brain repeats in a cycle of four to six times, spending an average of ninety minutes in each stage. So even our sleep uses time.

Think of medication. When a doctor prescribes some medicine to use it comes with strict instructions governing how many times in a day and for how long we should take that medicine. Time. Miss the time to take your medicine and you are risking your medicine not working. Time is life.

There’s no book or university class that will teach you that time is life because some things can’t be taught, we only learn from life experience. And unfortunately, this is what people learn too late in life.

As children, we can’t wait to grow older because they keep on telling us that our time will come. In our teens, we want more freedom, more time with friends and more engagements in doing whatever we wanted to. And this is when the pain of the clock starts to kick in. In our teenage years, we start to admire the fancy things. Cars, houses, fame, money, and attention from the opposite become a priority so in the years following our teens we strive to make as much money as we can.

We spend years in school or an endless time on start-up projects in the hope of being successful. Rich or not, time kicks in. Next thing we know is we are in our elderly years now and hoping we could have more time. More time with friends. More time with our loved ones. More time for everything because now we are not as energetic as we use to be and life feels useless. This is when we learn that time is life. But it’s too late.

So start now. Live your life knowing you have only a limited amount of time left. Make friends, be good to people, help those in need and live with a purpose. Don’t leave any room for regrets. Take care of yourself and your body because your life is important. Most importantly, take great care of your time. It is all you've got, Because time is life.

always living in the present skews your perspective. the human condition...

You have almost covered everything that a person faces in his entire life , narrated it well , made it easy to understand . time is everything , even if something good is happening to a person we say he is having a good time...everything is related with time ... Time which is always running , never stops for anyone , never gets tired and acts like same for everyone (except we are not touching relativity)...

LIFE AND TIME ARE TWO BEST TEACHERS

LIFE TEACHES US TO MAKE GOOD USE OF TIME

AND TIME TEACHES US THE VALUE OF LIFE

Thank you for your lovely comment !!. Yes, it's one only thing we cant cheat is time. It is more valuable than anything we can imagine of and yet we don't give importance to it enough. :)

Only people with set goals and ambitions will tell how time is more valuable. Every minute counts, the rich and the poor all have 24 hours a day, but the way you manage time matters. Thanks @suerisue for the message.

Thank you for your comments as well. Lost in time is never a good thing for sure.

In my country, there is a proverb "Time Is a Sword". If we can not use time well then that time will snatch and cut or even the worst will kill us. Use the best time possible and I strongly agree with your opinions and advice. Thanks for your sharing @suerisue. Have a nice day.

That is beautiful !! I will remember those words :) Thank you

Ur welcome @suerisue. I hope you like it :)

Thats absolutely right! I also notice that my thinking changes ever 3 or 5 years. I see the different problems from a different view and dont take the same decisions. Time makes us different and teaches us a lot.

My thoughts changes too, and it's great just to embrace this new and exciting feeling :)

Now this is what you call a realistic article. Time is everything. We must learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored. We should never let the noise of others' opinions drown out our own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow our heart and intuition.

I love this We should never let the noise of others' opinions drown out our own inner voice !! This is just so important as many of us spend our time living how other want us to and plan our days, not how we want but what we are told to do by society. Many people then, regret later on in life that they never lived it. That is very sadden but it is also hard to be real to yourself when peer- pressure is such a large part of our lives. Thank you for your comment!!

Indeed. I don't see the point of living life how people want us to live. Why can't we accept the reality and understand that it's time that we are after. And why don't we prioritize our life and things around. Thank you. Cheers

I love this, its so true, i have never had someone say “Time is life” to me.
This will help me with all my crazy plans i have coming up, I can take a lot away with me from this post . thank you :)
