When is really the correct time for changing our way of thinking?

Have we ever wondered how time passes by so fast? I strongly believe, yes. Hundreds, and for many of us, thousands of times. Seconds, minutes, hours, days, or years are disappearing as fast as possible they can. None of us realizes or feel the change at the moment that this is happening, but only when the time belongs already in the past. We have this mixed sweet-sour-bitter taste in our thoughts. Reminding that unbelievable cocktail, we used to drink the summer on this wonderful Greek island.

After the first mini shock then we start to philosophize and analyze it, alone or during the coffee meetings with our friends. How? Why? When? Who? What if? Are the common ways to start the usual rhetorical questions. Trying to figure out what we did wrong, who made us feel unique, which was the best life experience, etc. However, we cannot correct the past, but we can improve our future. How this could happen? Never forget the three magic words Learn, Understand, Decide.

Learn from our mistakes and the daily interaction with other people. Nobody knows or has lived everything. Thousands of years before, Socrates said it with few words ‘’I know that I know nothing’’. Understand who we are, what we can do, and what we like. Let’s leave the illusions a part, superpowers exist only in fairy tales. Realism might be the new trend. Decide where we want to be and who is going to be with us. People and places influence our soul, inspire our mind, and relief the pain in the heart.

In our days exist a difficulty in the communication between the people. We do not understand each other because we do not have a method in our lives. It is a fact that during our dialogues, everybody is listening to its voice and not the interlocutor. The result is the coexistence of two parallels monologues. So, when is the correct time for changing our way of thinking? Now, some might say. Yesterday somebody else. It’s never too late, I would. By the way, reading this article passed 2 minutes.
