\u201cTime<\/em>\u00a0is what we want<\/em> most, but what we use<\/em> worst.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sounds very contrarian but rings true what Leo Tolstoy<\/strong> quoted in War and Peace<\/strong> ”\u00a0 The Two Most Powerful Warriors are Patience and Time<\/strong> <\/em>“.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Time<\/strong>: it’s free, it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once lost, you can never get it back.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Either you are using time. Or it’s using you. You can watch<\/strong><\/em> the clock<\/strong><\/em>, but if you do that, it’s watch<\/strong><\/em>ing you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Clocks<\/strong><\/em> have an agenda. They were never a part of the natural human condition.<\/strong><\/em> They are a recent invention of the Industrial Age<\/strong>. And the very fact that they have an alarm<\/strong><\/em> built is a clue<\/em><\/strong>. Rings a bell<\/strong><\/em>?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s definitely possible to put time to good use<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 But, if we are without a compass<\/strong><\/em> and a goal<\/strong><\/em>, we can find it using us.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whenever you are stuck searching for the optimal question to ask, remember, ‘ Getting started changes everything<\/em><\/span> ‘- and the time to start is NOW.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The invention of the calendar<\/strong><\/em> was to keep the outside world at bay and reclaim the agency we lost<\/strong><\/em>– to respond instead of to react<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There’s reason to be aweptimistic<\/strong><\/em><\/span>– and nothing better than tomorrow! To embark on the ‘ journey to better<\/em><\/strong> ‘.<\/p>\n
