If we could let time into our lives when he asked us to, what if we had the courage and let him accompany us in difficult situations, in grief, in losses, in joys, and even when we were lonely?Time is a travel companion and not an enemy, as he often imagines, because when we are lost he saves us, when we give him space and days, he fulfills his function and helps us heal emotional wounds.
Time protects us, heals wounds and gives us the strength to fly again, as long as we know how to appreciate and enjoy it.
- Sometimes we lose fellow travelers.
- Our dreams are interrupted or we find ourselves walking hastily.
- Alone on the way and we do not listen to our emotions.
- But if we can stop.
- Listen to our emotions and give us time to act.
- We will find the way we need to alleviate suffering and pain and heal emotional wounds.
“Once upon a time there was a very beautiful island of indescribable nature, where all the feelings and values of man lived: good humour, sadness, wisdom?Just like everyone else, including love. One day they were told that the island was about to sink, and then they all prepared their boats and left. Only love waited alone, patiently, until the last moment.
When the island sank, love decided to ask for help. Wealth went through love on a very luxurious boat and love said, “Richesse?Can you take me with you?” I’m sorry, I can’t “T because I have a lot of gold and silver in my boat and there’s no room for you. “
Love decided to ask for help for the pride he spent on a beautiful boat. “Pride, can you take me with you?” “I can’t ???, ” said pride. Everything here is perfect and you could ruin my boat. What would my reputation look like?
Then love tells the coming sadness, “Sadness, take me with you. “No love??? Sadness answered. ” I’m so sad I need to be alone. “Right behind him came the good mood that passed before him, but he was so happy that he didn’t realize he was being called.
Suddenly a voice says, “Come on, my love, am I going to take you with me?” Love looked at him and saw an old man, but he felt so happy and joyful that he forgot to ask his name. the continent, the old man left. Then love realized how much I owed you and asked for wisdom: “Wisdom, can you tell me who this old man helped me?”
“He is the only one capable of making love survive when the pain of a loss makes him believe that it is impossible to move on. He’s the only one who can give you another chance when it looks like it’s all going to end. Love, the one who saved it is time, because only he is able to understand how important love is in people’s lives.
This story by Jorge Bucay shows us the importance of time. When we believe that everything is lost, when we lose track and our path no longer makes sense, when we strive for everything to resolve quickly and ignore what we really want, time comes and saves us. He tells us by ear that everything happens and that when we learn to free ourselves from the burden and embrace time, we can heal emotional wounds.
Hurry has never been a good ally, problems take time, just like love. All the energy we have given ourselves needs to find a new destiny. Lost dreams also need time because the brain needs to design new plans or solutions, and Losses need time because we have to learn to direct our love elsewhere?
It takes time to put every thought, every emotion and every person in its place, teaches us that nothing is definitive, that everything happens, good and bad, and that little by little everything improves, helps us to mature and see things differently. perspective to learn and move forward.
Here’s the solution: take a break. But not a passive time marked by the ticking of the clock, but active, formed by acts and reflections where calm prevails to develop new projects and a reflection to learn good, but also evil. A time to get carried away, without stoping to walk, so that, as in history, it saves us when everything else can’t help us.
