Chapter 300

Time. Time doesn't stay still for anyone or anything. Time is also of significant social importance, having economic value often referred as "Time is money". It also has a personal value as well, due to an awareness of the limited time in each day. There is a proverb that has been quiet famous over the years - "A stitch in time saves nine". What this really means, that it is better to spend a little time to deal with problems or act right now than wait. If you wait until late, things will get worse, and it will take much longer to deal with them. That is very true since we use reasons to explain away why we don't want to do something different; reasons why we don't want to change. If we know that doing something different might help the situation, not doing something different is called "stupid." The best reason why has never solved the problem. Often reasons why are understandable, however what is not understandable is why we feel the need to have our lives dominated by reasons why we didn't do something different instead of results. When we make the decision to go for results in our love relationships. . . that's the real moment we make a decision to grow and prosper. 9 months. It didn't seem to be a long time but yet it was. The proverb stitch in time seemed to make more sense now. Certain things that should have been discussed right away had caused a rift now, making even simple conversations uncomfortable, feeling bad and sad due to procrastination. Time has a special effect on people, especially when it comes to relationships. No one can predict what will happen, especially when you are not sure and this time it was no exception. Time can also affect people in various ways. It can bring people together who are separated, it can heal wounds; it can change the way you look at things in life and bring a different perspective. Time can make things happen that you thought would never happen. As each person changes over time may be it years or months, which he or she inevitably will, so does a relationship. How much it changes depends on the outside variables of everyday life. But you can bet that your love won’t always be exactly the same as it was when it was fresh and new. Love, like the ocean, has a natural ebb and flow pattern. It’s important to learn to go with the flow, and that love changes with time. Time can bring out the secret desires in a person, destroy a relationship, take a relationship to a new level or even end a lifetime. Time can make things happen.
