We let things we love die at the thought of time running out

This is one of those blog posts where I was clueless about what to write about, and to be quite honest there are many moments like these in life. We get to a place where we have no idea what we are doing and how it should be done. Sometimes we know what needs to be done and not have an idea of how it should be done, and again, there are those times when we do not know what to do nor how it should be done. Life can be unpredictable even when we are well prepared for it. So, when things do not align with what we have planned, do we let the things we love die at the thought of time running out?

Are you truly what and who you should be?

Most of us have buried so much of ourselves that we do not see a true reflection of who we truly are when we look at our lives and selves. If we were to take a minute to reflect on the many things that we allowed to die and some of which we killed, our lives have never been the same. Life changed every time something in and about us dies. Can you honestly say that your life has been the same since you let that dream die? Have we let the things we love die at the thought of time running out?

What have you permitted?

Many factors killed part of who we were, and we have permitted the killings of who we were, some for temporary pleasure at the expense of our great selves. Some of us have faced incredibly challenging situations that have led us into believing that we have no way out, and thus ended up making immediate decisions that would see us killing the very substance of our being, our dreams. For as long as we are alive, we will face disappointments and it is how we handle those disappointments that will determine what we give life to.

Does time await our readiness?

Realize how time waits for no man, and the longer you and I linger in disappointments, the less time we will have to execute. Please do not misunderstand me, when we are hurt by disappointments, we need to take time to heal, should we need to. Do what is necessary to heal and not carry past hurts into the future. Unhealed wounds from the past only cause more harm than good. So, you and I need to teach ourselves to heal as we get hurt. Unhealed past hurts also have a great potential of killing the best parts of who we are. Again, I urge you to be intentional with your healing.

How has a lack of time affected you?

As much as we are wired and do everything differently, time affects us all the same. You and I need to learn to manage our time despite our joys and hurts. Permitting things to linger in our lives for too long could be one of the great attributes of why things we love die. Think of all the things you have given up on and ask yourself why you have given up on them? Write down your answer and ponder on whether it is a good enough reason for you or just an excuse you gave to yourself to make sense of you letting go.

Reflections

What have you let go of? Which good parts of you did you permit to die? Because there is no vacuum in life, what did you give life to when you let that which you loved to die? Is there a way you could stop, ponder, and write all the things that you love, allocate time to each item on the list, and invest in growing them? No matter how insignificant you might deem them to be, but because you thought of them, it means they matter and should not be left to linger.
