TEMPVS FVGIT

Dearly beloved,

I am writing to you in the midst of my commotio cerebri aftermath, an incident in which I had to face a tremendous momentum shift, you all may laugh, I was undergoing what yet I tried to prevent everyone from having...and I am not going to lie, the foundation of my drive, my perseverance, my tenacity, the foundation of it all was shaken – and all of a sudden I reproached myself with what is written on old longcase clocks: tempus fugit!

How is time running out? Why am I on hold all of a sudden? Can there be a single incident to take it all away? Why can I preach and proclaim certain things, but have a hard time fulfilling them myself? There were unlimited, boundless questions bugging me for days that I even went through all of my older blogs in order to find answers. Time was running, tick, tock, my momentum has stopped, but the world kept spinning. Remember those time lapse infomercials I mentioned? The everyday rush did its duties, I saw the world passing by at supersonic speed, powerless, watching the world move with me standing still, watching the world move without me.

Sometimes we just feel like we cannot keep up; and sometimes a single incident can trigger us falling back in time, being powerless watching this world spinning and our lives being still. Time flees – et tempora mutantur et nos mutamur in illis. Then we think we are wasting our time, or wasted our time in the past, for it is said that "lost time is never found again." But I can calm you down. Time flees, but yet we made it to a point in which we think about it. I hereby want to quote the motivational speaker Mr. Earl Nightingale, who said: "Don’t let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use." Does that not feel like a gigantic relief? It is not too late, even though we are on hold, we still have time to get back on track, to get back to where we were. Time flees, and it flees wether we do something or not, so despite a momentum shift, or incidents slowing us down, we all should have the heart to continue, to carry on, to do our deeds regardless of whatever is stepping in our way. Soon enough is well enough. And let’s put it this way: if a single incident all of a sudden shakes the foundation of your motivation, or your perseverance, the heart you have been carrying for a long time, does that not mean that you are moving on a high level, that you carried your motivational drive for a long time? Does this momentum shift not show you, how fast you are moving with and in this world?

This is something you can only see once you stop – and let it not only show you how fast this world is spinning, realize how fast you are moving yourself in order to keep up with this rushing world. If you keep up with this world for a long time and have one single incident throw you out of bounds all of a sudden, ain’t it merely an indicator that you got what it takes to keep up with this world? Are other people not thrown out of bounds as well? But they struggle getting back on track, because they do not realize their drive and their ability and heart to keep up with this world. So my fellow readers, let a sudden stop not discourage you, let it fuel you, fuel you to get back on track and keep driving on the fast lane of life. Tempus fugit? Tempus f*ckit!
