On a chilly December night, rain had been falling for hours, and a wintry wind blew outside the home where Human resided. Sitting on the couch, Human gazed out the window at a leafless maple tree swaying in the wet winter breeze.
Glancing at the other end of the couch, Human noticed Time curled up there.
“Who are you?” Human inquired.
“I am Time. Can you hear me ticking away?” Time responded.
Puzzled and afraid, Human stood up. “What are you talking about?”
“Let me introduce myself. Your Life is the home you live in. I am Time, the broker financing your life loan. Think of the mortgage company as a higher power, destiny, or karma,” Time explained.
Feeling uneasy about the unexpected visitor, Human moved away from Time and walked towards the door.
“Don’t leave. Come back and hear me out,” Time urged.
Reluctantly, Human returned to the couch, sitting a few feet away from Time.
“Come closer. If not, I’ll come closer to you,” Time said, snuggling next to Human. “I’ve been craving your presence.”
“Why are you here?” Human asked.
“I want to make sure your life is the best it can be while you’re on Earth,” Time replied.
Human shrugged. “I know what to do. I don’t need anyone telling me how to live my life.”
Time explained that despite the life contract signed for a certain number of years, changes could occur at any time without notice. The mortgage company (representing destiny) could alter provisions, leading to unexpected outcomes.
As the conversation continued, Time highlighted the struggle between Soul, Time, and Human’s desires, often overshadowed by the Desire to Make More Money (DMMM). DMMM was described as a mindset that diverted attention from soulful pursuits to financial gain.
Human realized that DMMM often took precedence over meaningful experiences with Soul and Time, leading to a sense of unfulfillment.
Time introduced the concept of Taking Stock of Your Precious Life (TSYPL) as a way to prioritize happiness over material wealth. By investing in TSYPL, Human could focus on meaningful experiences that contribute to overall well-being.
The article emphasized the importance of mindfulness and balance in life, encouraging Human to engage in activities that fill their “jar of happiness” daily.
As the evening progressed, Human, Time, and Soul reflected on their bond and the role of DMMM in their lives. They discussed strategies for managing DMMM and prioritizing soulful experiences over material pursuits.
Ultimately, the evening ended with a sense of gratitude for the sacred bond shared between Human, Time, and Soul, with a newfound appreciation for the balance between material needs and spiritual fulfillment.
