Why Are We Told "the Clock Is Ticking"?

The clock is ticking … people talk so often. They can tick in the context of children, family, new beginnings. And people point this out to us with a “ticking” voice.

Let's figure out what kind of watch it is and for whom it is ticking.

Of course, a watch means physical age. At the same time, no one takes into account the psychological characteristics of a person. There are people for whom the watch has been ticking almost since birth. They lack energy, desire, motive, inspiration, faith in themselves. They rely only on the opinion of others and cannot take independent steps. Hence the outflow of vital energy. It is difficult enough to adjust your life to the ideas and plans of others. Under such conditions, one's own “want” disappears and it is rather difficult to resurrect it. Everything else happens as a consequence of the above input data.

I think it should be clarified that such people may one day throw away their watch if they revive their own energy with the help of therapy or, perhaps, some event in their life. The main thing is not afraid of change. For some reason, we are just afraid of them, we want more static than dynamic changes in life. However, now it's not quite about that.

Who is the clock ticking for? For advisors. It turns out that around each of us there are a lot of experts in our life who want to tell us how to live. You can always hear this phrase from them. And more often than not, they themselves cannot quite figure out their lives. It’s always easier to point out to someone what’s wrong than to go and deal with yourself. People who were able to overcome habits, internal patterns that they have walked for years, blocks, attitudes, they understand that the path to transformation is not easy. Therefore, they will never tell you about the watch, on the contrary, they will support you and inspire you to succeed.

Do not limit your life to hours. Don't add extra stress to yourself by setting a timeline for reaching a particular goal. Perhaps your life is a little different from what you want at the moment. There is something more important to you now. And you can skip that by thinking about the clock that is ticking. If you take an active position in relation to yourself - you know your goals, desires, take responsibility for your own life, you are carried away by life and everything that surrounds you - how can you limit yourself to a ticking clock? You yourself are in charge of the life process. You know that you are taking the maximum out of life that you can take in today. Moreover, you know for sure that tomorrow you will have something different. You have plans for any age. Perhaps the most important thing that I want to convey to you is the last. Your watch will never tick if you know that at any age you will be interested with yourself in your own life. You will definitely find what to do.

The clock ticks only in case of regret. When you look back and feel sorry for the wasted time. When you regret what you didn't. I believe that this is the only thing to be regretted. Because when we act, we try, we discover the world, we give ourselves experience and fill our life with events.

So when they tell you that your clock is ticking, think well, is it ticking?
