Many times I&#39;ve written those worn out cliches of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Time goes by so quickly<\/li>\n<li>Life is brief<\/li>\n<li>Don&#39;t blink<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I could go on, but I&#39;ve slowly been coming to an awakening.&#0160;<\/p>\n<p>The reason we in <a class=\"zem_slink\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States\" rel=\"wikipedia\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"United States\">America<\/a> (maybe in other parts of the world too) feel like time goes so fast, is we are always:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chasing after something<\/li>\n<li>Wanting something<\/li>\n<li>Afraid of losing something<\/li>\n<li>Getting involved in something<\/li>\n<li>Worrying about something<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That group above will make you feel like your driving a high performance car on the Audubon-in all waking hours.

I wish it were, then it might be an indicator that we&#39;ve stopped the madness. Being in the moment is&#0160;essential and everyone can do it, <strong>if they wan<\/strong>t. The scary part is many will wait to the end before they realize how much time they&#39;ve burned.&#0160;<\/p>\n<p>America is in trouble for a number of reasons. Our abuse of time in the pursuit of &quot;all of the above&quot; is insuring a troublesome outcome. I&#39;m convinced there is a desire, but as in many things, desire is not enough. I&#39;ve moved to the place where I purposely, every day, find my moment. I have to.<\/p>\n<p>Find your moment and turn around.<\/p>\n<fieldset class=\"zemanta-related\">\n<legend class=\"zemanta-related-title\">Related articles<\/legend>\n<div class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow: hidden;\">\n<div class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/epicliving.blogs.com\/epic_living\/2013\/01\/the-moment.html\" style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/137162242_80_80.jpg\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/epicliving.blogs.com\/epic_living\/2013\/01\/the-moment.html\" style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 80px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px;\" target=\"_blank\">The Moment<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/fieldset>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time doesn&#8217;t fly by and we don&#8217;t have a &#8220;time issue.&#8221; Time has been moving at the same pace as it always has and your time issue is more than likely an excuse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,5,6],"tags":[319,396,262,397,393,271,394,395],"class_list":["post-139","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-coaching","category-entrepreneur-advice","category-learning","tag-america","tag-in-the-moment","tag-mindfulness","tag-slowing-down","tag-the-time-issue","tag-time","tag-time-issue","tag-time-management"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.epicliving.com\/epic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.epicliving.com\/epic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.epicliving.com\/epic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.epicliving.com\/epic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.epicliving.com\/epic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.epicliving.com\/epic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.epicliving.com\/epic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.epicliving.com\/epic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.epicliving.com\/epic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
