Take your time

First of all, it is important to recognize that time is an abstract. We measure its passing based on the movement of the sun and the earth. Thus we calculate our seconds, minutes, hours, and so forth. We can only begin to estimate the time that our solar system and the universe have been in existence. Each estimate tells us that they have been here longer than previously thought. When we consider our individual presence on the planet, it is but a speck of time. Yet each moment that you are present has immeasurable value because of what you do with it. Every day you change the course of history in each action that you take. A decision to stop at a yellow traffic light instead of proceeding, a telephone call that you make, or a simple smile at a stranger all have ripple effects. When you are consciously aware of the impact that you have, you choose to act in ways that serve both yourself and others. Consider the power that you possess as you move through your day. Recall people telling you of something you did that made a difference in their lives. How do you feel as you recall these actions? Take your time in increasing the good that you do in the world knowing that good will return to you multiplied abundantly. When was the last time you thought about the incredible impact that you have on the world today?
