sometimes, you have more of it than you know what to do with at the time.
other times, you’re barely making it through without more of it.
each + every time, it is a matter of circumstance + having more or less truly depends on how you view the situation.
what are we discussing here?
time.
whether you have more or less doesn’t matter much, fam.
what are you doing with the time you have?
what meaningful work are you doing right now?
what type of time are you on today?
when you want something, you’ll get it.
time isn’t as much of a factor as we want to make it out to be.
you can be 55 years old + get your college degree.
you can be 93 years old + star in a breakout role in film.
you can be 21 years old + buy your first home.
you can be 40 years old + host your first meet-up or family gathering.
let’s face it, fam —
the timeline you’ve placed on yourself or that others have placed on you is arbitrary.
it’s made up.
it’s for comfort + a false sense of satisfaction.
it’s a documentation of your made up successes.
frankly no one, not even the person making + upholding these time constraints, deserves to be held to that type of expectation.
every day you open your eyes, you’re doing the best with what you have in that moment.
don’t put so many constraints + limitations on yourself that you stop vibin’ with + flowin’ with life.
don’t be that person who is so structured that when something does fit into the timeline, they are up in arms about it.
don’t be so far in the time trap that judging others for their lack of achievement by a certain age becomes a pastime of yours.
simply put: time is made up.
agreeably, it is also one of the most determining factors we collectively use to measure successes of all types.
you have enough time.
operate from a place of fulfillment + abundance.
understand + know that today, you have time.
regardless of how much time is on the clock, you can if you want + are willed to do so.
be you, be dope!

journal prompt(s) for today:
cover all the clocks you have in your life — wall clocks, watches, phones, car radios, — anything you use to tell time, cover it up.
as the day progresses, do what you do + what you know must be done for the day.
journal about your experience.
what are you feeling about time now that day is over?
what is it that you wanted to get done? what did you actually do? do your actions + wishes align?
do you feel like you had enough time today? why or why not?
this is a brave exercise to take on, so if you need baby steps into this exercise:
set a timer for the next three hours + place it in an inconspicuous place where you won’t be tempted to see it. proceed with covering all devices that tell time.
complete the exercise as mentioned above. increase your time every time your repeat this exercise until there is no timer set.
another option:
wait until the weekend to do it.
