The trouble is, you think you have time

Buddha is quoted to have preached this in his prime-

The trouble is that you think you have time..

*

So I find myself in a quandary here

If I heed the message in this quote I fear

Feeling even more rushed than I do

I already feel pressurized by passing years to

Accomplish my goals fast, before age-related decline in my faculties

Catches up with me, leading to difficulties

In achieving the modest goals I have set

For myself- I do not want to leave the world with regrets..

*

The quote may not refer to achievement of goals, on second thought

If I acknowledge I may not have much time,

I should not

Follow the wrong path, stay angry or hold grudges in my heart

I may not have an opportunity to right all my wrongs before I depart

From this earth- this must be what Buddha wanted to convey

The quote makes more sense when I think about it this way..

*

Time passes by relentlessly

How I use my time on earth is up to me
