The race against time

Author

We live in a world where time is the main ruler of our existence on this planet. We are always running against it, causing us to be in a state of frenzy at all times. We function at such an accelerated rate that most of the time we are put in situations where we need to be reactive instead of being proactive. This fight against time has caused human kind to forget how to stop and enjoy the quiet times that come our way.

Our demanding environment and battle against time are affecting every aspect of our lives. We have become accustomed to living in such a state of neurosis caused by the stress of never having enough time to do the things we need to do at work and our personal experiences. This constant race is self destructive and it is a bomb ticking threatening to explode and throw our mind, body and spirit off balance.

Time is an illusion of our physical existence; created by our need to control and impede human kind’s spiritual evolution, an illusion that is ruled by self imposed limitations. Although we cannot stop the minutes and the seconds, we have control over how we can make the illusion of time work for us.The only way to make it work for us is by slowing down and taking time to breathe and enjoy each second with awareness, being open to the idea that rushing can only bring stress and heart problems, depriving us of the gift to live the present moment in a balanced and harmonious way.

Haven’t you noticed that when you do things in a rush, there are always mistakes taking place? And what about the misunderstandings, the anger, fatigue and frustrations that come along with this race against time? Have you stopped to wonder if it’s worth all the aggravations? When you can easily choose to quiet your mind daily to take the time to calmly manage your priorities, and breathe properly while getting all of your tasks done.If you have never tried it then it is time to start.

Living in a state of emergency only creates more chaos and does not help with getting things done faster or better. It only makes things worse. Life is too precious so do not waste your life resisting time and rushing against it. There is always enough time to get everything accomplished, especially when you realize that we are infinite beings; and as infinite beings, we have the capability to transcend any physical limitation such as time. How amazing is it to come to terms with the idea that we have the power within us to beat the external obstacles that time constraints present to us every day? You are probably wondering how this can be possible, since time is very real in our physical reality.

Well, all I can say is that the only way to transcend the limitations that time causes is through seeking the answers from within our soul; connecting deeply with all that exists within. Our lives will become expressions of daily miracles when we start to focus in all the perfection and graceful divine order in which our lives unfold; there is no illusion of time and space when we allow our inner guidance to flow through us, showing us the way. This limitation slowly begins to dissipate. Thus, freeing us from the tie that binds our soul to this dual reality in which we live in.
