Time Outs

The Grasshopper once offered this timely reminder: “Real life doesn’t have time outs.” 

It sort of reminded me of the old maxim that life is not a dress rehearsal. 

Life continues forward even when we want the world to stop or back up so we can get a do over.

The only "time out" that seems real is the time out we take from time.

It’s a hard intellectual concept to grasp but I’m pretty sure the philosophers and mathematicians agree that time doesn’t exist.

So taking a time out from time leaves you in the only place you can ever really be, and that’s where you are right now – in the present moment.

So if you want the clock to stop ticking, stop paying attention to the clock and start focusing on the moment you’re in right now. It will make time stand still.

You’ll never need a time out when you’re in the present moment because the concept of time will slip away as you give whatever’s in your attention the time of day.

All the best,

John
