The Passage of Time…
Dateline March 31Thursday 11:09am It’s the second to last day in Manila. I thought about the passage of time this morning in the early stages of waking and consciousness. On this trip it was incredibly relaxing, culturally eye-opening, and a great connection with my wife’s extended family. The other thing I noticed, which is the most remarkable, was that time seemed to move at a slower pace. Three weeks is just the right amount of time to disconnect from the frantic and hectic pace in the real world aka work. Time moves actually too fast at work. I feel like work is the biggest time vampire in life. Maybe this wouldn’t be the case if I felt more fullfilled and passionate about what I do. It’s nice that I felt this once upon a time at work. Too bad that feeling is currently absent. You wake up one day and realize you wasted a lot of your life working only for money and not for fullfillment. This race should not be run and I’ve somehow fallen into this trap. I wonder if there is an easy solution to this common problem…
