The Preciousness of Time

Time is something we can never get back. There's so much time ahead of us yet, so very little at the same time. People thought Stephen Hawking had very little time to live. He managed to surpass those expectations and lived up to the age of 76. There are so many things that humans have managed to invent in the past century that people living in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries wouldn't even imagine could exist. We live in a world where there are self-driving cars, the internet, we know what a black hole looks like, and so much more. These things were all ideas. How they became ideas and how these ideas became a reality is something I can't even begin to understand. People like Stephen Hawking worked and gave us humans the blueprint to figure out so many of life's greatest questions. We are in one of the greatest generations ever where we have access to information online. We can watch movies and videos in the comfort of our homes because these inventions, which were ideas at one point, were created but it all took time. Time is our biggest threat. The only thing that matters is how we choose to spend our time. We don't have to be inventors of the next biggest most outstanding idea. If you want to then go for it but we should all live our lives the way we see fit. 

Understanding that things will always take time and that knowledge is power is what keeps us, humans, thriving for more. Every day we wake up, there's always something new either being discovered, planned, or invented. It's amazing to see how far the human race has gone and how much has been achieved. As for ourselves, it's up to us to figure out how we best use our time because we don't know how things will be in the future and things in the past are just memories. I'm still trying to figure out this whole life shit going on. In due time, I will be the person I want to be but, of course, I will have to put myself in positions to better myself and those around me.
