TIME…The illusion, the reality, how we use , misuse and abuse it…

Here’s the corrected version of your text:

I don’t think people understand time: what it is, what it isn’t, who deserves it, and who does not. Suppose there were a way to charge people for your time on the spot. I bet then people wouldn’t be so eager to waste your time as if it were their own. Imagine someone is about to start a conversation with you and you say, ‘Hold on, Sir, let me start my timer. I charge for my time by the minute and I charge higher depending on the lack of accuracy of what is about to come out of your mouth. Ok, go.’

I do believe that time is an illusion. I say this because, in my personal experience, time changes depending on how you use it or misuse it. Time is so valuable, yet it is readily accessible by everyone for free. I am highly selective about who I give my time and energy to, as not everyone deserves it. In this instance, it is okay to be selfish; it is called self-preservation. Just because someone wishes to take from you, does not mean you have to oblige and give of yourself. Opening yourself up to everything and anything is a sure way to close yourself down. People will drain you of your energy if you let them. We have to protect our energy. Our energy is protected by how wisely we use our time. What we focus on most tends to become bigger in our lives, and this includes both positive and negative aspects. If we spend our time dwelling on a problem, it not only wastes our time but also drains our energy. Spending that time looking for a solution would be much wiser. If we entertain nonsense, it too wastes our time and depletes energy. So many people complain about not having enough time, but are we really using our time as well as we can? How many of us spend hours scrolling through social media or binge-watching television? Most of us, I know I too am guilty. I am in the middle of a series or two now! After a long work week, sometimes we just want to relax… I get it. However, we are all responsible for our time. We have to be accountable and know when to say no.
