Universal Currency of Time

“The present is the same for everyone; its loss is the same for everyone; and it should be clear that a brief instant is all that is lost. For you can’t lose either the past or the future; how could you lose what you don’t have?” - Meditations, Marcus Aurelius

This quote is a reminder that time is a precious and finite resource that is shared equally by all people. It encourages us to value the present moment and to make the most of the time we have, knowing that once it is gone, it is gone for good. By acknowledging the fleeting nature of time, we can cultivate a sense of urgency and purpose in our lives, and focus on what truly matters.

Furthermore, the quote highlights the fact that time is a universal currency that cannot be bought or sold, and that the loss of time is a shared experience that transcends social, cultural, and economic barriers. It is a humbling reminder that regardless of our background or circumstances, we are all subject to the same limitations of time and must make the most of the brief moments we have. We are in control of our life and it starts with making every moment count.
