What comes to your mind first when you think of Hourglass?
The evolutionary and psychological appeal of the hourglass is strongly associated with female beauty. Another way we use the hourglass is in games. It depends on your perception and interpretation.
The hourglass symbolizes passage of time. The topmost part of an hourglass is broad that tells us to gain wisdom through lots of learning. It gets narrower in the center to stop and think. Focus and introspect on the learnings. Before time flies, it gets broader again at the bottom for exploration and openness. It teaches us that do not procrastinate. Time goes by quickly and before the sand runs out, try your efforts on achieving your potential, your goal and do things differently.
In life, we realize that as time goes by, the sand slips away from our hand and each and everything is temporary. It is ephemeral. Focus on people that matter to you. It has taught us the unpredictability of life itself. Our existence is the essence of life and death. When we are immersed with the glam and fame of social pressures, we are blinded with what is true within ourselves. Hate and envy are the murderers of one’s peace of mind. Let us utilize our time wisely.
The battle is internal. Fight it, endure it with clarity and calcification. Filter your thoughts so only kind words emerge in your speech. Unclutter your unresourceful thoughts to resourceful ones. Reach out to others.
The conversation is within yourself. Listen and talk to it.
The Hourglass is a sand of time,
It slips away in a blink of an eye,
Use it wisely to be lift others and thy,
Eternity is what we thrive.
