We have come to grips with the hustling and bustling of contemporary life. Our sense of flexibility will be a rare attribute to such a life. People take time far too seriously. But then we also take life really seriously.
That is the contradiction at the heart of life today. We sweat over reputation and privileges we thought we earn it. We swear at anything that gets in the way of our celebrated life-style -- whether it is ill-informed friends, outmoded fashion, or technological gadgets from bygone ages.
Spend as much time as possible to contemplate with reference to life. What contemplation does is making us aware of how flexible life could be -- and flexibility is unquestionably a weighty thing in contemporary life. We can go or stay whenever we want and discover as much as we want.
Because flexibility is what smart people identify with, so it is of massive importance in everybody's lives. And nothing knows more about flexibility than our essence -- the spiritual side of us.

Most of us work unholy hours and lose precious weekends, and a lot of it is spend in the only place we know we are not being ourselves -- which is a place where we just don't know if what we're doing is going to work or not.
We got to be smart. We got to be in a place where we are sure. And that place can only be perceived by our inner attachment called the esoteric heart -- as opposed to the physical heart. The esoteric heart performs thinking, the retaining of information (hence the phrase 'learn by heart') as well as recognizing the value of counsels. That is why all teachers of wisdom evoke that we must make the heart the focal point of learning, which moves within, as it is the transceiver to spot transcendental signals.
An astonishing fact has come to mind recently among a few 'Life observers'. It is foretold that cataclysm will transpire, mainly in the run-of-the-mill business world. No, I'm just blowing things out of all proportion. But many people will disagree with me. I don't mind. That's just the exciting part of conveying a thought. The more people disagree, the more you stand out of the crowd.
The fact is drawn from the fundamental question in existential philosophy: Is it time that controls us or is it us who controls time?
Most people are inclined to say that time is money. If truth be told, this aphorism has pulled the wool over everybody's eyes. Because essentially time doesn't exist. It is just an artifact of the mind. A perception.
With this truth, each one of us actually possesses the power to create time of our own!
This time issue is so convoluted that I cannot give you all the details at this point. If you want to know more about what time really is, I can suggest you two solutions: (1) you can read Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time, a scientific piece of literature that would presumably crack your head. Or (2) you can simply come to a certain place inside you every single time seven days a week to understand what time -- or, anything what Life has to offer -- is really about.
The Turkish prominent mystic, author, and poet, Jalaluddin Rumi, received a divine revelation that it is the alteration from daylight to darkness, which creates time. For those who have discovered the underlying truth about time are very fortunate. Why? Because they have become masters of their life, career, and society!

A lot of Time is of less importance than flexibility. Smart people go flexible -- they are not tied up by time, but the other way around. They do this for something that acted as a cue for them to enjoy life as well as pulling off many remarkable things at the same moment.
But do it because it's fun, and also because at one level it's very important.[]
