As has been stated before, everybody has time. Naturally, some protests might arise with this statement. So let me clarify this statement. Everyone is in the present. No one may leave the present for a more preferable time period. Everyone on Earth, at this moment, is doing something. Fair enough?
Time is also a natural law. It cannot be stopped. It cannot be slowed down. It cannot be changed. However, some are able to alter their perception of time. But that is for another subject. I am saying that everyone is accounted for at a specific time, ALL THE TIME.
Quantity of time. It is often ASSUMED that an elderly person has less time on Earth than that of a child. With this assumption comes the inevitable emotions of ‘why bother?’ Why should an elderly man change his habits when he’s “wasted” away so much of the time he was given? The child will achieve much more than the elderly man ever did, they predict. “Why,” I ask? “Because he has MUCH MORE TIME,” they respond. So it is assumed that because one has more time he will achieve more. But time is just one element of success. And in the grand scope of things, not a big one at that. I am here to say that a man of 80 is just as capable as a boy of 8. A large span of time has passed by the man, but with it has come experience. Something that can also be used towards success. Success in this context meaning positive change.
It is never too late to change one’s ways. Now there are a couple of things needed for one to do so, but I am specifically focusing on the element of time. “It’s too late to change,” or “there’s not enough time” are excuses created by the individual to make him/herself feel better about settling for less. It is never too late to change oneself for the better. Only a desire to change, the will power to follow through, and time are needed to successfully transform oneself.
