Looking Back Towards Tomorrow
As I cannot do justice to the “relativity” of time, I will stick to my area of expertise; the “subjectivity” of time.
I look back at the first post I wrote and see today, how the two overlap. I rewrite that first post as I scan what’s ahead.

New beginnings take place constantly. When you thread them together, you get a lasting experience.
SJ
On Sunday, May 28, 2017, I started my 100-day countdown, a new beginning, to a new beginning, that will culminate on Monday, September 4, 2017*; the launch of my website, which includes videos, ebook, blogs and more.
I am a process oriented person who believes strongly in the fact that only humans tell stories. It then makes sense that I will transmit the narrative of this exciting process as the days progress.
This is a perfect example of the process; I can countdown my progress.
My relationship with time is a very dynamic one. One of the pillars of my work is Einstein and he says: “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.”
And so, I continue with the following questions:
What did I learn from yesterday?
Yesterday taught me that judging my sense of timing is a waste of time. As long as I am in the flow, observe what is taking place, keep asking questions, I am “in the right place, at the right time”.
What can I do to live for today?
Today I can take in the whole picture and not allow any concerns, worries or fears, narrow my vision. I can see it all; inside and out. I can pause and take in a positive moment, or give myself the time to work through a challenge.
What is my hope for tomorrow?
I hope that tomorrow’s progress will allow me to see where I’ve come from.
My metaphor for today is, "Time Is an Equal-Opportunity Employer".
"Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours; scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow" - Denis Waitely, The Joy of Working

Thank you for your multi-dimensional comment Ali \ud83d\udc1d Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBee. I appreciate your suggestion about incorporating the 3 time questions into the Q&A. I guess because I answered them on the 100th day and now again on the 50th, I do see them more as process questions rather than interview questions. Having said that, I would like to invite you and all the readers/bees to offer their answers here, in the comment box, or outside the comment box. I would love to read your answers Dr. Ali.

Thank you Harvey Lloyd. Your comments are always thought provoking. I can't say I disagree with what your saying. I guess for me, what you're saying is a part of the time experience. Awareness is definitely a must. We shouldn't grad anything into our experiences, we should have a clear sense of choice. Interestingly enough, if I had to place filters in a time zone, it would be the present; we filter what we remember, what we are processing and what we are anticipating. And in terms of time dictating who we are, my bias is that we are time. Thank you Harvey for giving me the opportunity to think out loud and for your very kind words!
