Sunday Philosophies-Flowing with Time!

Hey Everyone,

          Its been a while I  have updated any post. The reason is a common one...'Cant find time for it!'. About two months back I enrolled myself in an Under graduation Degree College. It was on the very first day that I realized soon my life was going to change. Couple of weeks and I was piled with unfinished assignments and lots to prepare for the upcoming tests. Life had adopted a whole new schedule. I like changes and so I welcomed it. But soon it got tiring and boring at times. I needed to find time for myself..to do what I actually want to. And in this quest of finding that little time I stumbled upon one of its property that I found interesting!

Time is not something that proceeds at the same pace, it is We who determine how quickly Time passes!

Let us view time with two different and major angles.
Time as a function of Clocks and Calender and Time as a function of feelings.
Latter being my focus for this post.

Time as a function of Clocks and Calender:

About five hundred years back a scientist who liked maths and nature..wanting to relate them.. intervaled Time and used as a tool to measure actions. Newton for his equations wanted time to be more definite. Since then it has always been used to 'measure' action or work.

This can be summed in two questions.
1.What time of the year is it going to rain?
2.I have a date tonight at 9.

Now lets discover higher meaning of Time!
Rather than observing it lets be in it, flow with it.

Time as a function of Feelings:
Why Feelings?
Simple...Feelings are the very reason of us being called Living Humans. It differentiates us from the non living.
And most of all it is something that we can control..We can shift gears with our feelings be happy when we want...Feel nostalgia when we wish to..also be sad by remembering losing something of value..and many more..you get my point!
Another major reason why Time should be related with Feelings...Both are of the same origin..The Mother Nature !
How to view Feelings as a function of Time:
Einstein put is best when he said 'A hot coal when kept on hand for a minute is not bearable, but sitting with your girlfriend in garden for an hour feels like seconds' !
Its very simple and straight..When you do what you like Time does not go fast..or rather you dont feel the heavy footsteps of Time running.
The more you do what you do not like the more you get tired. And nothing can tire you more than Time..!
Ever wondered why that song which your loved one had dedicated to you once finishes so fast. Yes, because you love it or have reason to love it!
Also on little introspecting you may realize you never looked at the seek bar when that song was playing...you were in resonance with time giving yourself and your feelings that maximum amplitude..!
But if you had to wait and do nothing for the same time you get bored and start looking at the watch..Ah just two mins..is that true or my watch broken?
Nah its not the watch its YOU..!

How you know if your Feeling is in Resonance with Time:?
Its when you complete a task without or with minimal look at watch and when you are done you have that serene smile on your face..with that satisfaction in your heart..!
You know it when you do feel it!

Once you start doing things that you like round the clock..you will start living in present (With the time) and relish every passing moment..Life will be instantaneous...just as Nature had intended !

It worked for me..:)
