Did you know ? The older you get, the faster time flies! I don’t believe it… or rather, I dare not believe it.
While the new year sounds like the advent of new resolutions for some, for my part, it is mainly an awareness that lives in me at the beginning of the year: I am rich. Probably a millionaire!
Let me explain to you.
I am part of that lot of human beings commonly called “everyman and lady” who had the opportunity, during the holiday season, to put this mentality of chronic production into inertia, to be with people who are dear to them. Of course, this time of year is often synonymous with a marathon where, one after the other, brunches, dinners, memorable parties (if we remember, of course!). Now, taking a step back, I like to think that these moments are actually time we cultivate to nurture our mutual love and friendship; it’s basically taking time for the people you love and appreciate. And that is priceless.
So, after decanting my festivities associated with Christmas and New Year’s Day, I recalled this idea that time is, in fact, a priceless gift. If it is true that the latter is on the run permanently, a moment with friends or family, a priori banal, is then, in my opinion, to be cherished more.
So I realized that, if time can sometimes in its passage come to rarefy our friendly, romantic or family relationships, it will never be able to grab those where we find, as a cornerstone, the existence of a symbiosis between deep love and sincere friendship.
Spending our time as we see fit is a form of freedom and wealth that we sometimes tend to forget. Time is unrecoverable and cannot be converted into cash: in fact, no matter how hard we try to duplicate it, its copyright seems inviolable and timeless.
That said, when someone gives us their time, I believe that is one of the greatest gifts we can receive, for the simple reason that time is precious. However, at times I feel like we take it for granted, as do the people around us…
You know, time doesn’t wait that long. This is why we must learn to create opportunities to see each other. If the will is present, time will manifest. Moreover, two elements that we can never get tired of and which must first consume time in order to flourish and evolve are unequivocally the values of love and friendship. These feelings, I felt them through my 42.2 km run, during the Holidays. And that’s why I’m blessed: blessed with love and friendship.
Let’s take the time to live.
Let’s take the time to thank the people we love for their time.
