when you are living your life you don't realise that's its passing us by, that that second that just went by wont ever come back, that the words you just said you cant take back, that action you did you cant reverse, the memories are just memories and every passing moment is a moment gone and its another moment to be added to our book that will be handed out to us on the day of judgment.

scary yeh, I know, and what's got me thinking bout this is time and how fast its going, I swear when I was younger (still young people) it seemed like time was not going as fast as it is now subhannallah its unbelievable, Monday comes and we groan that we cant wait till Friday and a blink of an eye lid and hey presto its Monday again and it really is a sign that the DOJ is nearing.
I cant remember what my earliest memory is but I can remember me way back as a kid and I am now a mature adult ( yeh right) and its not gonna be long before its bye bye earthy and a lot of the time is spent messing about and I complain that there is no time but Allah gave us plenty of it its just that we don't organise our time very well, Bin Abbas narrated that Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said“There are two blessings which many people lose: (They are) health and free time for doing good. so true what do we do when we have free time - nothing beneficial.
there'sres a lot of good quotes out there about time: "Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life."-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Waste no time on situations that aren't worth your precious time. Allah, may I recognize pettiness for what it is and move on so that my imagination doesn't take over and give pettiness more value than it deserves."
