Perspective of time

Have you ever felt that time passes very quickly? You lament that with a blink of the eye, November is already here. You are disappointed because you have not fulfilled even half of your 2009 new year’s resolution. The pace in life is too fast for stopping or rose smelling. Here comes the street decoration to serve as a reminder for the grand closure of the year. Then nervousness cracks in. You feel that you have done so little or have achieved nothing so far.

Well, don’t be.

It is actually a blessing if you feel that time is passing quickly. It means you are happy. Happy moments are always too short because we are too engrossed in them to notice their pace. Instead, sad times creeps at a torturous speed. The night just won’t go when you are having insomnia. It stops when you are waiting outside the operation room. It even seems to go backwards when you are in pain or heart broken.

So when the next time you complain about how time flies, just tell yourself how lucky you have been all this time. Not only you have grown older and hence become more matured, you have been happy all this while.
