Have you ever noticed that your "24-hours" is sometimes not enough or sometimes just too much that you don't find enough activities to fill it in? So many people are dealing with issues, it could be marital, it could be psychological, it could be an inability to find fulfillment or derive happiness from things that should actually bring one happiness.
There's a time in one's live where they begin to look at the past events in their lives, and it feels as if they haven't really given their lives a meaning, The lockdown was a period where a lot of people had time to evaluate their lives, relive their past and weighed the decisions they've taken that bad actually brought them to that particular place which they have found themselves.
Time: Reflection
Sometimes we need "time" once in a while in our lifetime to look back at whom we have been in other to determine who we can become and make changes in our lives. Life is so full of external responsibilities, we often tend to forget our internal obligation to ourselves.
This being our health condition. A lot of people feel good, they feel fine, they do not feel ill or sick and as a result of this they think they're healthy. One of the reasons people tend to underrate how fragile the human life is, is because they haven't known what it feels like to be dormant or non-functional. Sometimes people only begin to appreciate their lives when they're on the brink of losing it.

When it comes to protecting ourselves, a lot of people often tend to need a reminder, an incentive as to how important our lives can be. Now going back to external responsibilities, these are necessities that are often caught up with us, this involves looking for means to keep life going. Things like family, relatives, your commitment to work, your dedication to job or even a passion for one's dreams.
All these things aren't more important than having a healthy self within and without. Our priorities sometimes determine how well we go or do in life, but then sometimes we often place the wrong priorities on top of our scale of preference. Truth is, while we have felt we don't have time, sometimes everything we need is just a little time, and we might be surprised as to how wrong our approach has been.
Priorities To The "Self"
Like I said earlier, the essence of the human life is more fragile than we know. Many people hardly appreciates how lucky or blessed they are, and they abuse their health by taking harmful substances. Some people feel that the only way to deal with pain is to deaden it.
Make it numb, and they begin to explore ways to get high. Years ago I was afraid of checking of my health status and my condition in general, but eventually I did, I never knew I had serious health challenges and even if all it took was the time, I was revamped, I was in the hospital and saw different people who hadn't seen the sun in days, I realized I was lucky, it only took me a little time to understand how my excuse for having no time could be detrimental to my life.

Life Is Fleeting
It can be dangerous when we do not have time, this means we miss so many details about life. Life is about details: the little things especially. Sometimes a little mistake can bring the biggest of disasters. This is why we should consider having time as a blessing, rather than a period of boredom, blandness or unproductivity.
The lockdown was when I was productive the most, but then people shouldn't wait for rules, government orders or something like a pandemic, a calamity for them to find time to appreciate the essence of life and of course change approaches to dicey issues like one's health conditioning. I used to say always; Life is fleeting even more than we might realize and even when we get lucky its Important to realize that our course of action can change this to the barest minimum.

Yes it is all about what we chose to do with the time that we have, the most important is to be present, but so many people seem to be just chasing after more time. We need to be more mindful xx

I tend to agree with you, to further butress this: we don't have more "time" more than we already have, it's all about making it meaningful, that's exactly what counts on all front. Thank you for taking the time to curate this one, it felt good writing it.

Time is one of the most essential thing in the life of man,cause nothing is going to be achieved if time is not well spent,that is why a scriptural backing is attached,l that,their is time for everything,how time is been spent needs to be monitored judiciously and most achievement comes in the process of time well spent on things that are meaningful and paramount
