Tick tock. Tick Tock.
LIFE IS ALL ABOUT TIME
In working with clients in real estate transactions, in building business, in building just about anything it all takes time. In building a house, from blueprint to walking into the front door with your new keys, it really is all a matter of time.
The funny thing I have observed is about MORE time. Everything just seems to take a whole lot more time than you figured at first. Even what should seem like a straightforward process with contract to close in real estate, it zigs and zags all over the place. Deals can fall apart the very day of closing (at the closing table)!!
Why is this? I think because no one can predict the future and the unexpected twists and turns. Especially when you are dealing with the emotions and the fickleness of people. Even in doing lease deals, people can find "another" rental property for inking the current lease agreement in their hand that they have not signed yet. Why? Because they think it is a better deal.
Time, like energy and our health, is one of life's most precious resources we have. Don't sweat the small stuff, the details that are out of your control.
Life is also about change too. A constant in life is change. Embracing change allows you to know if you don't like the way things are, wait, they'll change.
Life is about seasons. Enjoy your time, make the most of each day, and know what season of your life you are in to not miss any of what life offers.
Thank you for that reminder. Timing IS everything!
Have a great weekend!

Yvette: Make the best use of your time. You don't get it back.
Kim: A great goal.
Russ: Nothing is guaranteed into the future, so true!
Gary: I like the entire post, but especially :Life is also about change too. A constant in life is change. Embracing change allows you to know if you don't like the way things are, wait, they'll change. ah..... so true. Good post.
Patricia: Going with change is the way to be. Often when we resist we are afraid, and when we go with it most often things work out anyway.
Susan: It is so true about time fleeting by. Kids grow up in a blink. We must live each day to the fullest we can and forgive ourselves on those days when we don't get it right.
Mara: Yes, time is definitely a human, physical measurement. When we think of the span of eternity then it seems our mortal time will just be a blink of the eye. You are right about music triggering memories and transporting us into the past with what we associated with that music.
Kat: Hang on for the ride. Life never stays in one place!!
Carole: Like the sand going out of the hourglass we just can't get it back. When any of us realizes that then we understand what precious is.
Carol: Change is just change. We put the judgment on it. I agree it can be very good for us too, as we get dragged kicking and screaming into the futurre.
Liz: Life does have it's rhythms. Sometimes we find ourselves going too fast and we need to slow down. Metronomes are cool if you play piano.
Sharon: You see that time flies effect with your kids. You probably think, wow, they were just little, and now they are almost grown up. That's why I'm a big believer in taking lots of photos along the way.
Sorry I missed this until now! A star in the Time Management Group - way to sum up TIME!
Kim: Besides moving by so fast which we all notice, I am constantly amazed, especially in business, how much longer it takes to do everything then I figured at first.
Thanks for sharing - This really was a good post!
