Time and You: A Strange Relationship

Sometimes the time pushes you and other times you have to push the time. The relationship between time and you is a mutual one. Both have to take care of each other to enable a benefiting relationship. The end result is a wonderful lifetime!

Let me take you through my thought process. "Sometimes the time pushes you". This is the part where we are governed by the circumstances or surroundings in our life. This government could lead into situations which may not be at a comfort level acceptable to you. But you have to go with these situations. Calamities, losses, heartbreaks, betrayals and other misfortunes push you into unknown and highly vulnerable surroundings. But to move through this you have to be agile and forgiving. Other times time pushes you into wonderful things. Serendipitous circumstances are typical examples of time pushing you into something wonderful but you feel equally vulnerable as well. Hasn't it happened to you when you ended up saying, "Wow! I wasn't expecting that!". And other times you ended up concluding that s*** happens for no reason.

Now comes the part "Other times you have to push the time". The strange thing about this relationship is time always flows but you can be left stagnating in this flow! Most of the times stagnation isn't related to the circumstances but something we take up on ourselves. Haven't you said to yourself, "I wonder where all these years flew away". Time played it's part but something was lacking within yourself that restricted your movement. It is the impetus that was lacking from your side that pushes you into the next higher level. Whether it was the courage, capabilities, sensibility or maturity that was lacking within yourself that restricted you. It is during these times you have to dig out courage, maturity or ability within yourself to push yourself through time and take a controllable control of circumstances. Of course the uncertainty and divinity always exist but control is always a major role player. Probably that's what Rocky Balboa is referring to when he says (I quote) You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! (unquote).

So keep moving forward and other times just move. Cheers!
