Resource #10 (Time)

Here it is! The mother of ALL resources... TIME! Think about it. We have a great idea or a great recipe, we have a variety of tasks and talents, we have a desire to grow and change. So, what keeps us from actualizing that idea, creating that mind-blowingly delicious meal, completing each task, cultivating and sharing each talent, growing into the human we envision ourselves to be? Well now, there's that sneaky little bugaboo called TIME. We never seem to have enough; we're not efficient; we're not skilled at carving it out for ourselves; we're overwhelmed. All this is absolutely true... until you realize that TIME is nothing more than a social construct. Why is today Friday? 12:26 P.M. on this particular Friday in May for that matter? TIME helps us place ourselves within our world; it helps frame our existence. It is merely a tool. So, what if we used that tool differently? How could we wield it to better build our capacity to utilize all the other resources we've considered in each of the previous nine blogs? I'll leave that to you to contemplate... along with this quote from T. S. Eliot: "It is only in the world of objects that we have time and space and selves."
Hmmm...
