The Clock is Ticking: Whose Time Am I Living?

"The clock is ticking," they say. But as I sit here in the stillness, I realize that nothing is truly missing. The world spins, time marches on, but why should I focus on making my family or society happy if I’m not resonating with myself?

The clock is ticking, and with every second, I feel the weight of fears—fears that are not even mine. They belong to others, imposed on me by expectations and the unfulfilled dreams of those who came before. The timeline of my life seems conditioned, shaped not by my desires, but by the aspirations of others.

What am I suffering for?

Society tells me I have obligations, duties to fulfill, but where were these obligations when I needed them? It’s easy to get lost in the noise, to follow the path laid out by others. But in doing so, do I lose myself?

The clock is ticking, and as each moment passes, I ask myself: Whose life am I living?

Lao Tzu once said, “Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” 

This is one of the simplest yet most controversial ideas. 

Look closely at your life—what do you feel most passionate about? For me, the answer isn’t my family, religion, or environment. It’s the little voice inside my soul that speaks differently.

So why wait because the clock is ticking? The universe loves us and wants us to discover our own truth.

What if you get divorced?

 What if you leave your job? 

What if you don’t get married or have kids? 

What if the community ostracizes you for seeking the truth? 

Just because the clock is ticking, does that mean something is missing?

  I don’t think so.

 It’s time to break free from limiting beliefs.

 It’s time to rediscover who you really are.

 It’s time to listen to your body and soul

 because the clock is ticking, but nothing is missing.

Until we meet again !

Let’s Redicover and Heal !
