“But then if we never *take* time, how can we have time?”

Nowadays in this world where we are compelling to do lot of things at the same time, it is getting difficult to have enough time to do all the things that we want to do.

I don’t know if you feel the same but it looks like that time is passing faster and faster. Work, School, Homework, Child, Traffic Jam, Internet, Social Media and thousands of other things to do, it makes us run from one side to other keeping our minds overwhelming with so many information that make the time pass and we keep trying to be faster than it, trying to be multifunctional, watching TV at the same time that we use the computer, answering the phone in the bathroom, reading newspaper and driving, we are trying to be superhuman and in the end we do not have time to things that are really important, our family, our friends, our kids, our free and lazy time.

As the Merovingian said to Morpheus in the Matrix movie, “Yes, of course. Who has time? Who has time? But then if we never *take* time, how can we have time?”.

So let’s take some time and enjoy life without rush…

“This too shall pass” – King’s Solomon parable

“Solomon the powerful and wealthy king chooses to test his most loyal and trusted minister, Benaiah Ben Yehoyada, by asking of him an impossible task. The king asks Benaiah to find for him a ring, knowing full well that the ring does not exist, which has magic powers. “If a happy man looks at it, he becomes sad, and if a sad man looks at it, he becomes happy,” he tells him. He expresses his desire to wear the ring for Sukkot, which is six months away. After months of searching, Benaiah finds himself, the night before Sukkot, walking through the poorest neighborhood of Jerusalem. He happens upon a jeweler, who, when asked if he’s heard of such a ring, produces from his pocket a plain gold ring, to which he adds an engravement. Benaiah returns just in time on the eve of Sukkot to give the king the ring he has requested. When the king looks at the engraving, he reads four words: “gam zeh ya’avor”, which translates to, “This too shall pass” or “This too will pass”. At that moment, Solomon realizes that his wisdom, tremendous wealth, and power are fleeting things, for one day he will be nothing but dust.”

 Probably most of you already knew this story but I brought here to make us rethink.

 “This too shall pass”  can be an uncomfortable phrase whether you are enjoying everything that you have in your life and it can be very comfortable whether you are passing for troubling days, but the most important point here is that it makes us stop and think; that we have to enjoy all good moments of our life, even more, the small nice things, the time with our family and friends, a smile, a laugh, our vacation days, our work, everything and be grateful for all things that make us happy. In the other hand we should realize that every time that we face a difficult situation in our life, sooner or later this too shall pass.

Be aware of your present!

"What then is time? If no one asks me, I know: if I wish to explain it to one that asked me, I know not." – St. Augustine


Let’s think a little bit about the time…the past, the present and the future…

The past is something that already happened, can be ages ago, years ago or even one second ago, it was once what we called present, I can say that I’m writing it but every moment that I type a letter, in the present, it turns to past and the next letter that I will going to type, in the future, will be present and it will be past again. It is so fast that we sometimes even notice it.

I’m sure that you already thought about it but I brought it because most of the time we are so fixed about what happened in our past or what is going to happen in our future that we do not realize that we need to be focus and more aware about the present and what we are doing with our life, now, in this exact moment. If we are able to do the right things in our present we are not going to regret it (the past) and we will be able to create something good for our future…think about it.



Ps: When I started to write it I had no idea how it was going to finish. It was my present. Now that I wrote it became my past and now is your time to make my future writing your comments and becoming my friend in facebook. What then is time?
