🌍 Off the Clock: My Wrestling Match With Time
There’s a question that keeps haunting me—one that echoes louder the more I grow:
“What am I doing with my time?” ⏳
Twice now, I’ve spoken like I had the answers. Twice, I’ve felt like I understood the weight of time. But here’s the truth—it’s one thing to know something, and it’s another to live by it.
That’s the burden of knowledge:
👉🏾 When you know better, you can’t play innocent.
You become responsible for what you know.
And one thing I know for sure is this:
Time is the highest currency. 🕰️💎
We hear it all the time—“Time is money.”
But beyond the cliché lies a deeper truth that pierces through distractions:
If I truly respected time—if I truly understood its frequency—I’d treat it like sacred ground.
- I’d schedule it.
- I’d protect it.
- I’d build around it.
Not just watch it slip through cracks of fear and procrastination.
But still... I drift.
Why?
That’s the question that gnaws at my spirit.
Why do I hesitate when I already know what’s right?
Why do I wait for signs, stall progress, and allow my momentum to fade?
Maybe it’s fear.
Maybe it’s uncertainty.
Maybe... I’m just off the clock. 🪐
That phrase won’t leave me alone.
“Off the clock” feels like I’ve stepped out of rhythm—like I’m floating through life, waiting for something divine to pull me back.
But if I’m not tuned into my time, not present, not ready,
then how will I even recognize divine timing when it arrives?
⚠️ I’ll miss it—because I’ll be out of sync.
Off. The. Clock.
And when you’re off the clock, time starts bending.
It becomes heavier.
The silence grows louder.
And your mind starts focusing on all the wrong things:
- 😔 Doubt
- 😕 Insecurity
- 😞 Fear of failure
- 🧠 Overthinking
- 🌀 Feeling stuck
But I’m learning something powerful.
I can choose where I place my focus. 👁️✨
Gratitude.
That’s the frequency I want to multiply.
That’s the energy I want to tune into. 🙏🏾
That’s the vibration I want to send to the Creator and to Life itself.
The more I focus on what I do have,
the more I align with what I truly desire. 💫
I’ve come to see something clearly:
I am now where I once prayed to be.
This version of me… this life I’m living—it’s an answered prayer from my past self.
And yet… I still fear.
I fear what’s next.
I fear the unknown.
I fear messing it all up.
But maybe—just maybe—
Not knowing is also a divine gift. 🎁
Because not knowing means I can create.
I can dream.
I can choose.
And maybe, the fear I feel is not meant to stop me…
Maybe it’s meant to guide me.
"A lion does not fear the path ahead—it honors it."
(Vah Afrika Proverb)
So here’s the truth I’m coming home to:
Where I place my energy… is where I place my time.
And where I spend my time… is where I build my future. 🚀
I know now:
Energy is time. Time is energy.
Even if time itself is an illusion,
it's the only resource I have to shape this lifetime.
So here I stand.
Tired, yes.
A little uncertain, maybe.
But awake.
Aware.
Grateful.
Aware that this moment—right now—is all that truly exists.
⏰ And what I do with it…
That’s up to me. 🔥
