Ticking Clock

by Lou Macabasco

The Clock is ticking, where am I heading?

Time, if not money, is probably the scarce resource for many.   In our era now, seems like the words “busy”, “stress” and the like is the in thing that people recognizes as part of daily life.  Sad to say, at times, it takes up their whole life.  I wasn’t spared of this mania for in the past I was one of those people whose life revolves on such words.  For it was during those times that I wanted to do everything in life all at once.

With so many things that life can offer, sometimes you can’t help not to aim in having it all.  Not only life’s offer increased but the capacity and options to do it have increased rapidly as well which cause most of us to fret.  Our current working force is mostly “Gen Y”, of who are known to be a very competitive generation.  Such competition creates a world of anxiety and busyness for everyone are too proactive to get ahead of everyone else, thus, it causes people to spend most of their time studying and working , and why do we want this?  Probably, to be secured enough so as not to be left behind or worse fail.  As such, this fretful generation has caused ‘stress tablets’ to be everyone’s best friend.

If I’m not different now, I probably wouldn’t be here at home typing these things for I would have been busy in my office desks doing weekend works, to finish work and get ahead.   But I’d love to say that I am different now and I’m happy about it.

Now, I’m NOT one of those people who need a stress tablets just to get by and sustain their health with multivitamins to compensate their worn out unhealthy lifestyle fretting and complaining on how stressful and busy their life is.  For now, all I have and need is the balanced life that started with my mind.

Since the day I recognized I lack balanced, my life started to change little by little.  And I can say, that in a year span, I’ve totally changed into a different human being so different that it still amazes me how much change I’m still encountering.  For is it true that once you’ve embraced change and let go of mediocrity, slowly your expansion to growth in life stretches as time flies.

Time is my most important asset compared to anything else, greater than my pay or salary, which mostly clings into that’s why they stick up wasting their time doing what they hate to do.  I don’t blame them tho for it’s really a great courage to let go of a monthly secured pay check in exchange for your time.  I’ve trade such for I do not want to live a life of “busyness and stress” plus I want to think differently in being proactive in dealing with a win-win situation in the field that I want.  Most wouldn’t understand, for as I’ve said, it’s having a different mind.

Now, my ticking clock would be spent and heading me to where I want to.  I’m doing this now, for as I’ve known, your future starts now.  What you focus on now will create your future.  So why waste your time in doing what you hate?  Direct your sail into your desired path.  You don’t have to know and have it all, you just have to know what’s important and your priority in life.  And from there, sail through it during ups and downs.  For remember, life is short, so live it to the fullest doing what you love instead of settling to what you hate and complains all the time.
