10 Things About Time I Learned Over Time
We cannot control time and cannot manage it, but we need to respect it.
We can only manage our priorities and commitments, not time.
We respect our time by using it to evolve and grow, not wasting it.
1. Time is fluid
“Simply put: time is fluid. The faster your world spins out of control, the slower timer crawls. The more time you need, the less you’re sure to get. It’s all relative” ― Shannon Lee Alexande
2. Time is limited
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs
3. Time slips
“How can you achieve your 10 year plan in the next 6 months?” ― Peter Thiel
Some people or organizations can achieve in 6 months what it takes others to achieve in years.
4. Time is a teacher
“It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.” ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
5. Time is on the side of evolutionary adaptation
Livings that could not adapt are no more. And so are companies.
6. Time is on the side of consistency and persistence
“Small, Smart Choices + Consistency + Time = RADICAL DIFFERENCE” - The Compound Effect
7. Time is generous
It gives you opportunities to learn and change your past. As we evolve, the way we see our past changes.
8. Time is mysterious
Still pondering
9. Time is unforgiving
Still pondering
10. Time is life
Still pondering
