Time is a blessing.
Time isn't simply chronological. It's multidimensional. We control our time. We allow others to control our time as well.
I've felt rushed trying to "figure out" life after my master's. There are lot of changes that have recently taken place but the most difficult is my mentor moving up into a higher position and away to a different (but still local) college. This is my time to shine independent - training wheels off.
I invested 75% of my time to school but now I'm learning how to spend my time differently having gained so much of it back.
Of course, this is the cycle of life. We journey through one milestone, only to start all over again. Change is so uncomfortable but it is a blessing. It is an opportunity to shake things up in your life - "why complain about a blessing?" (my best friend Courtney said that and inspired that thought)
I've spent the last few days anxious and a little panicked about my new professional life. Imposter syndrome is real. Insecurity is rather high because my professional confidence is low. I realize that I am still in an entry level position. It feels disempowering after investing so much of my time into grad school.
However, perspective is always important.
I am fortunate to have the gift of time. I have the power to determine why, when, and how I spend it; and who and what I spend it on.
Time is currency. It is valuable and exchanged as a good. If we shift our perspective on time from chronological to multidimensional, you can grow rich in time overnight.
Currently, I am sitting in a very blessed position; such a valuable time. I can no longer waste my spend all of my present time worrying and fighting anxiety over time I *might* have in the future.
Bask in the liberation of having an abundance of time and choice with how you spend it.

and in any case...
Rejoice and own your time.
Time waits for no man (or woman) :) Thank you for this reminder. Adjustments and changes in life can shake us to our core but they are inevitable. It's important to remember how much power we have and like you said, examine the perspective we are taking and find truth in the bigger picture. For me, its going to take effort and perseverance to keep myself from "stuck" and comfortable in what is easy. Because time will continue to move forward with or without me. Time to put things it in full throttle. Thanks Allie! -Anch
