Just live each day, each moment as it comes. Be present to what is, be attentive. Respect time, respect what it brings by giving your full attention to it. Don’t live in the past or the future. This ruins your equation with time and eventually with life.

Time as a concept may be an illusion but what time really is – is life. And life is always in this moment, where we are. It is never in the past or the future. So, what happened in your past or will happen in the future, doesn’t really matter because life isn’t there. Life is here. In the now. The past is only a memory and you make this memory your imagined life when you reflect too much on it. It still isn’t your life because the past is over and you cannot go there. Similarly, the future is something you anticipate or imagine and life isn’t in the anticipation or the imagination. Life is in what is happening now, at this moment. Therefore, when you live too much in the past or the future, you no longer show respect to the present time and this way, you go out of sync with life. You also waste time by doing so, and such disregard for time, becomes disregard for life.

Remember, time and life are one. To win over your life, you have to value time.
