Consciously Choosing Moments; Crafting a Life of Meaning

Since the moment I realized that time is life, I made a firm decision not to live my life as something worthless. Life is short and precious, which is why we should seriously contemplate how we spend our time.

Conversations with beloved family and friends, even if they lack significant meaning, bring richness to our lives. The time we spend with loved ones becomes a gift to each other. However, there are undeniably moments of meaningless and valueless time. There are conversations that involve nothing more than insulting others or judging someone's appearance. There are worries that persist endlessly without a solution, and regrets about the past. Furthermore, conflicts and arguments among ourselves are possible. These occurrences not only harm one another but also have a negative impact on ourselves. When such moments that are meant to bring meaning start to deviate in a negative direction, it is crucial to recognize it and stand firm. Let's strive to have good times together. Let's engage in conversations and activities that make our lives more abundant, beautiful, and happy. Because even the time for pursuing happiness seems insufficient. We don't have much time left. In extreme cases, something could happen tomorrow morning, leading us to depart from this world. And you already know that time passes swiftly.

We should live each day without wasting time and strive to develop ourselves meaningfully. You need to define for yourself what constitutes wasted time and what constitutes time meant for you. Find your own criteria. Although you may experience trial and error, this is the moment when you develop your beliefs and solidify your values. It is the point where your values become stronger. Within a series of processes, the growth of metacognitive ability is an inherent and effortless phenomenon. Clearly identify what is important to you in terms of values and goals, and live your life in pursuit of them. By realizing that time is the essence of life and making an effort to live a valuable life, your life will become even more fulfilling. And living in this way is one of the ways to live as "I AM".

I sincerely hope that today will be a meaningful and happy day for each and every one of you.
