Time Waits For No (Wo)man
Here we are once again, the start of another month. We focus on time this March and I have often said in my previous editorials how we never spend enough time on standing still, on absorbing what is around us. However, this month I am going to contradict that by saying that we should seize every moment. Don't let opportunities slip through our fingertips and make use of time in the best way possible, because one day we may not have the ability to fulfil all those dreams and that day could be anytime. I don't mean to sound apocalyptic and I am not but there is a saying “Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today.” by Benjamin Franklin.
I guess what I am saying is no more talk, get out there and do those things you dream of doing. Make time, make it happen! We all procrastinate at times but now it's time to become more structured in our lives and not to waste time... how much time do you need to dream anyway? Come on... Let's talk about the things we are doing than the things we would like to do. What are you waiting for? Don't waste any more time.
There is a moral to this story and it is to say that adversity of unpredicted quantites can strike any one of us at any time and there is no back at this point, no 'I wish I had done that' or 'if only I had made the time'... So don't worry about what people may think and what your peers may say, if you have a little dream and you believe you can do it, then do it. Take the bull by the horns and go, go, go! If you don't try, you will never know... but don't wait any longer! Have fun, enjoy, and have the best time ever!
This month time plays another part, in a bitter sweet way... On the March 29th the clocks go forward 1 hour. Boo, we lose an hours sleep but hey hey it's springtime!
