THE SAD THING IS that we are bound by time.
Every single one of you – the reader, the writer, the person just casually scrolling by – all of you are bound in this common experience, only to be reminded of it every single time you lock at the clock – the year itself has all of 31557600 seconds, all of which are passing moment by moment as you sit, breathe, and think about everything that’s happening.
At the end of it, where will you be?
Plenty of us, including me, would have forgotten this – the reflection will be done, we may have moved, started different jobs, Some of us will be alive, some dead, others married; at bottom, all of us will have become quite different people from the people who began on this path of reflection.
I am constantly captivated by the fact that this experience is limited – that we are once-in-a-lifetime phenomena only to take place in the course of these few breaths, only to be gone – and it is a nice reminder to be a little better, to manifest a little more through this beautiful, wild, sometimes chaotic life.
What’s this year going to bring in this limited span of time and what will my human capacities bring out?
How will we use this time better, more efficiently, recruiting the people around us into something better than we had before?
That’s something to think more deeply about in the days ahead, as we move on with our ambitions, each small step ahead.
