As I grow older, and hopefully become…. wiser 
I believe the most important thing I am gaining now is ‘Understanding’… I mean a greater understanding of this thing called life.
‘Electric word life It means forever and that’s a mighty long time’
Well… 
I digress, let’s go back and stick to the story.
As time goes by pieces of the ‘great puzzle of life’ seem to automatically fall in place answering the how and why of things, and that’s interesting. But in a way it is also a bit sad, because it keeps me wondering why these ‘pieces didn’t appear a couple of years earlier.
Sigh… this must be the way life goes and things are meant to be. Otherwise we could be questioning why we exist in the first place. However… that’s another story that may be the subject of another post.
Insights often come to mind when you look back on your life. Once you get a view on the path which defined your walk of life, it becomes clear that the journey of life has been a long and winding road for some of us. I know, because I am one of those persons!
Some time ago I was talking to a friend about time-lines, and I told her that I felt it sometimes took such a long time to achieve certain things or goals in life. I never forget her reply, because it completely changed my attitude and point of view when it comes to things I want to achieve or goals I set for myself. She simply stated that things used to go slow and take a long time, but from now on it would go easier and faster. She made it clear that it was clearly a matter of having the right mindset! There’s a great quote from Henry Ford that says : “if you think you can do it, or you think you can’t, you are right “. This is the same principle, with a different method. If you think it takes long, it will. But if you think it can be done quick, it can be done also.
The connection of this principle to the insights of life, is simply a matter of doing something at the right time. For example twenty years ago I could’ve taken certain action, but didn’t because of whatever reason or excuse that justified my decision back then to not take action. Now twenty years later I take the action that I could’ve taken so long ago, the reason why I do things now and didn’t do back then is probably because of insight. It proves that the principle always stay the same, it’s just me who changed!
I am curious about how you think and feel about this, and would like to hear from you. I am looking forward to talk to you again.
