Time Zone of life

New York is 3 hours ahead of California but it does not mean that California is slow, or that New York is fast. Both are  working based on their own "Time Zone."

Some one is still single. Someone got married and 'waited' 10 years before having a child. There is another who had a baby within a year of marriage.

Someone graduated at the age of 22, yet waited 5 years before securing a good job; and there is another who graduated at 27 and secured employment immediately !

Someone became CEO at 25 and died at 50 while another became a CEO at 50 and lived to 90 years.
Everyone works based on their 'Time Zone',

People can have things worked out only according to their pace.
Work in your “time zone”.

Your Colleagues, friends, younger ones might "seem" to go ahead of you.
May be some might "seem" behind you.

Everyone is in this world running their own race on their own lane in their own time.Time is the difference. Obama retires at 55, Trump resumes at 70

Don't envy them or mock them, it's their 'Time Zone.'
You are in yours!

Hold on, be strong, and stay true to yourself. All things shall work together for your good.

You’re not late … You are not early ... you’re very much On time! stay blessed.
You Are In Your Time Zone....��Good day

ON THAT DAY I DIE

A lot of things will happen on the day that I die.
Many things will change.
The whole world will be bustling with energy as it always does.
The appointments that were so important will be left unattended on the day of my death.
All of the plans that I made will never come to fruition.
The calendar that has ruled my days and nights for years will no longer be relevant at all.
All of my material possessions that I pined for and guarded will be up for the taking to those who want them, or will carelessly be thrown aside.
My critics can no longer hurt me, and their harsh words will never cause me undue pain again.
The arguments I won that gave me such a sense of satisfaction no longer bring solace or comfort.
I no longer rush to answer all of the urgent notification beeps of texts and calls and emails. Their gravity is forever ebbed.
All of the regrets I wasted so many sleepless nights on aAll those things both big and small that caused me such anxiety and so many sleepless nights are now obscured.
The mystifying questions about life and death and what it all means are at once clarified.
All of this and more will come true, on the day I depart this earth.
For all of this that shall come to pass, there is still yet one more thing that will occur.
There will be those people who truly knew and loved me who will now grieve with the pain of my passing.
They will suffer a new void.
They will be beaten by fate.
They will feel unwilling to accept that my time has come.
A part of them will have been stolen from them on the day I die.
And what they will wish for more than anything on that day, is to be able to spend just one more day with me in it.
I know this, for I myself have grieved over the loss of those I have loved.
And because I have mourned, I will try to remember that time is precious.
It is finite.
It is fleeting.
It must not be wasted.
For this reason, I will not place materials before moments. I will cease worrying about those things which are beyond my control.
All of those things that seem to matter so much, don't. Do not let them compete for your attention against those things that truly do matter, those moments and people that allow you to actually live while you are alive.
Do not be robbed of the joy you deserve. Spend your energy on those who make you feel alive, who want to spend their precious time with you.
Dance with them before it is too late.
Do not waste the daylight any longer in the precious days before the one in which your life ends.
Don't keep giving your life to all that seems to matter, because when you die and are gone from this earth, that stuff won't matter at all.
Yes, I will die one day, and so shall you.
But before we do, may we both live.re forever where they should have always been - firmly placed in the past.
The worries about the size of my waist, my thinning hair and the deepening wrinkles on my face are gone.
The image of myself I so desperately wanted others to have is a mirage; they now have to complete it themselves anyhow.
My reputation, flawless and so worked for, is of little concern.

The Key To Positive Change

The New Year is a time to look ahead towards the accomplishment of our goals. As we move forward in the months ahead, we may find that the biggest obstacle to growth is falling back into old patterns of behaviour. To avoid this pitfall, let us make a new resolution to become more successful in fulfilling our dreams by forgetting the past. We do not want to erase our good memories as they encourage future growth,but let us forget the bad memories. Thinking about painful incidents from our past often leads to dwelling on thoughts of anger, hatred, revenge, regret, and other negative thoughts.Time is wasted in reliving what has already happened rather than in moving forward to implement our future plans.When we keep replaying the same painful remembrances — which become like bad movies — we lose precious time to write new, happier movies for our future.Conversely, when we forget the past,we can begin the New Year with a clean slate to write the good we want in our future. The tendency of many people is to repeat the same negative patterns of behaviour.

In doing so, the same forces that may have led to failure in the previous year repeat themselves.



However, we want to inculcate new positive behaviours. By continuously thinking about past failures, we tend to engrain deeper impressions into ourselves and reinforce those behaviours. Instead, we should practice new habits that will lead to better results.We can consider our situation in this way:When we have a wound,we have to leave it alone to let it heal. If we keep picking at it,we reopen that wound,making it worse. Similarly, if we have a wound from past failures or emotional upsets, by replaying them in our mind we keep the wound fresh. If we want it to heal,we must forget about what caused it. For those of us who are setting spiritual goals for the New Year, yet we have not put in appropriate meditation time in the previous year, let us forget about the last year’s schedule. Let us make a new schedule for daily meditation. Furthermore, if we have not lived up to the ethical virtues in the past, let us forget about what we did last year, and begin anew to lead a life of nonviolence, truthfulness, purity, humility, and selfless service. If we harbour any anger towards anyone, let us forget about our anger and the situation that caused it, and let us start anew with that relationship.

Each day in the classroom, teachers have students erase the previous day’s work from the board so that there is a clean slate to post the new lesson. Similarly,we can erase last year’s negativity, anger, and hurts to start the New Year with a fresh slate. On that slate we can write a future containing a schedule of regular meditations, plans to live the ethical virtues, and positive steps to achieve our goals. If we do so, we will find that we have more time to move forward instead of pedalling backwards. We will find that at the end of the year, we would have moved farther than ever to reach our goals, and we will have done so peacefully, happily, and filled with optimism and joy.
