The 20:8 on the 15-3

When they say times moves faster as time passes they are not kidding around.

There have been a few quotes that I've read that bring the focus back to::: If you're willing to wait until tomorrow to do "it" (the it referring to whatever goal you have next on your to do list) then you are willing to die before it gets done.

Does anyone know what today signifies?

March 15th?

Hmm.. anybody?

Well usually in a restaurant you have two types of salad choices... at least..

a house salad / tossed salad... ha... tossed salad...

Anyway, those usually come with the standard salad ingredients.

Then you have your other option with is usually Romaine lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese and a particular dressing that is also in the title.

anyways... that dude was given the key to the kingdom and the power to protect it.. and never gave up his power.

Granted he built one of the most powerful empires to date, he did it in a slightly shady way.

so today is his day... sort of.

The older you get the faster time moves.

The younger we are there is nothing to do and time passes so slowly. Nothing much to do, not enough time to do it.

Then the older we get we realize that we can never fully finish a to-do list before we start another one.

then that one list merges with two...

with three...

then days

weeks

months

years

decades pass.

and we still find ourselves with pen in hand and letter on sheet trying to give our life some sort of organization.

Here's a tip.

Put your list down.

Go outside

Lose yourself in the wonderment of our sky and try to pan back from yourself; straight up... little by little...

To where you are 10 feet high, 50 feet high, 100 feet high.. and try to keep in mind the space you take up on this earth in this time.

It's fairly difficult to do.

If anyone really tries it, it can be mentally exhausting trying to fill in all the details without losing concentration and breaking the picture.

A sudden insignificance will probably be the first thing that enters your mind.

The world is so big.

and I am so small.

try to get past that one... we're all small compared to the World

think about the people that have stood where you are standing now.

For hundreds of years men, women, children, grandmothers, and grandfathers stood right where you are standing now and existed.

Tried to make sense of all of this.

And perhaps they did.

Perhaps they figured out the world.

perhaps they didn't.

In the end.

It's all bullshit

The only thing that matters is what you do with your time RIGHT NOW.

If you've want to be a painter, paint.

If you want to be a teacher, teach.

The only thing holding you back...

is you.

So drop the list,

Forget the time,

And pursue your life.

Baz Lurhman said it.

"the race is long, but in the end, it's only with yourself."
