			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-591" title="thmeaningoflifeandtheneedfor time" src="http://themeaningoflifewithdrbob.com.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/thmeaningoflifeandtheneedfor-time.jpg" alt="The Meaning of Life and The Need for Time and the Freedom It Brings" width="600" height="70" /><strong>The meaning of life: to be happy and the need for time is very personal to me</strong>. I just got up from a nap. Nice luxury, you say. Sure, that it is. Except for this &#8211; the pain does not allow me to sleep enough. I have a very messed up back. My back is ten years older than the rest of me. Which means my back is 75. I have had two back surgeries. The surgeries went well. But the problems are so numerous that I really need more surgery. However, back surgical procedures are always iffy. Even with the best surgeons in the world, the chances are great that there will be further problems down the road.</p>
<p>So, I go to bed at about 12:30 AM., and need to wake up at 5:00 AM. to take pain medication. But I really need also to get out of bed to change the positioning of body enough so as to relieve the pain. (Also, during those night hours, I awake almost every time I have to turn in bed so as not to cause even greater pain.) So I usually meditate from 5:00 to 5:30 AM; then work until 7:30, when I eat my breakfast. After breakfast, it is help</p>
<div id="attachment_592" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 156px"><img class="size-full wp-image-592" title="tired reduced in size" src="http://themeaningoflifewithdrbob.com.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/tired-reduced-in-size.jpg" alt="Tired Kitten Fallen Asleep in Food Dish" width="146" height="97" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Exhausted Kitty</p></div>
<p>with our two dogs as one is just 17 weeks old and still has house-breaking issues. (And all that almost unbounded energy.)</p>
<p>After this is done, I read until I cannot keep my eyes open and usually sleep between 9:00 and 10:00 AM. Exercise the dogs, eat lunch and then nap from 1:00 to 2:30 or 3:00 PM. Sounds like luxury, right? NOT. Work till supper. Work after supper. Start all over again. Between lack of uninterrupted sleep and the pain medication I never feel rested. The point of this saga?</p>
<p>I feel I have little time. I am with you if you feel you don&#8217;t have enough time, for whatever reason. I just wanted you to see that I know how you feel, if you feel you don&#8217;t have enough time.</p>
<p>Two things: The great sages have said and say, there will be enough time for everything needful; and make the best of what you do have. I was reading Neale Donald Walsch, of Conversations with God fame, and he said, as 2009 closed, things get done just as there are supposed to. I was amazed. But when I thought it through, I saw some truth. When you are sincere about your life and work, things will get done as they need to. Yes, the things that are truly required in my life &#8211; get done. It sounds strange. Feels strange. But I find it to be true. Try it on and see if it works for you too.</p>
<p>Make the best of the time you&#8217;ve got. Obviously statement? Maybe. Maybe not. People with limited time sometimes pressure themselves into cramming too much into too little time. They never relax &#8211; thinking they don&#8217;t have time. Here&#8217;s a quote from Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Oliver Wendell Holmes. He was chided for taking a month per year off. He replied, it is said, &#8220;I can do 12 months of work in 11, but I can&#8217;t do 12 months of work in 12.&#8221; (Something like that.) The point is, he was better able to work when he had sufficient rest and relaxation.</p>

<p>If you are resting to be more invigorated when you do work, you have a good plan, in my estimation. In other words, make the best of the time you do have. There are all kinds of tools to be found on the Internet to help you with time management, if you need them. If you are just feeling guilty over not &#8220;spending enough time,&#8221; maybe you need to stop the guilt-trip. When you do cease to feel guilty about your responsible use of time, you will get more done. I know; that&#8217;s where I am now.</p>
<p>Declare your time independence. Just use the time you have wisely. Everything will get done that needs doing. Just look how long God has been working. When you use your time wisely, you find yourself smack in the middle of the<em> meaning of life: to be happy.</em> Why? How? When in connection with God at the core of your being, you find bliss, that bliss is then beamed into the world. One of the ways that happens is through the guilt-free, responsible use of the time you have.</p>
