Each day is full of potential. Usually this “potential” is beyond what we know to be possible. Potential successes. Potential failures. We sometimes wake up with great expectations, and other times with great dread. But we all wake up in the same position: Unable to change time. We can’t make it pass faster, or slower.
There are two kinds of time: Chronos and Kairos.
Chronos is about the chronological, the counting, or tracking of time. This is why we have clocks: To track, count, and measure.
Kairos is about the actions or purpose we take in time. Opportunity. Criticality. Possibility
Each day we are faced with a decision about how we will serve the time we are given. Will we serve it chronologically in how we pass or track the time. Some times, it’s all we can do to just get through it. TGIF.
Or will we serve it with opportunity and possibility? Purposefully. With hope and anticipation.
The great thing about this question of how will we serve time is that it doesn’t matter how we did or didn’t serve it yesterday, we get another choice today.
