Someone once said, ~Life is like an hourglass. Eventually, everything hits the bottom and all you have to do is wait it out until someone comes along and turns it around.~ Without a doubt, an hourglass filled with sand is considered to be a representation of certain aspects of life that tend to meet their end or quite possibly beginning. All how you perceive it to be. For it's most definitely a thought provoking situation indeed to witness, in a manner of speaking, the sand representing one's own past, present, and potentially future successes, as well as failures. True, it's just a matter of interpretation in which we all are either living every day to the fullest and not wasting any second of the sand that is our life; or having that sense of wanting to extend more time to accomplish the things you could have/wanted to say/do in order to not live with the pangs of past regret.
As I said before, the hourglass of life is considered to be representing certain aspects of life that tend to meet their end or quite possibly beginning. Thinking about it further, friendships have the unfortunate tendency to run their course due to either conflict, maturing as we get older, or whatever the case may be. Essentially, it's the natural order of things to cut ties with a certain friend or friends who aren't encouraging, supportive, and respectful in all the goals being set for yourself. In other words, you want to go up but he/she wants to stay down. Granted, as much as you hate to admit it, there's always been a quintessential time limit when it concerns a particular best bud/gal pal who you've constantly had to flip the hourglass of friendship over giving him/her countless chances knowing full well the sand representing the bond you shared with each other hit the bottom months/years ago.
If you think about it, the sand within the hourglass of life also relates to one's own professional career as well. Oftentimes, an opportunity presents itself to make/pursue either a career charge or start one's own individual to be happy. The vision and determination are certainly there, but what tends to be lacking is the motivation to move forward to where the heavy handed excuses are building one after another. You see, it's those heavy handed excuses that in all intents and purposes causes the sand of your potentially lucrative future to flow down faster and disappear out of sight quickly to where it creates deep mental/emotional stress. I think it's safe to say you know someone or are that someone who didn't allow the sand of heavy hand excuses to quickly disappear to the bottomless abyss of what could have been, whereby furthering you to become increasingly unhappy.
Let me ask you this question concerning the sand representing the hourglass regarding matters of the heart, has it this year or in past years emptied out to the bottom more time than you can count or is it a considerably continuous steady fall with no end in sight of emptying? Women, more often than guys, want to experience a type of true happiness where even though there are occasional problems in the relationship the love between each other grows stronger to the point where it doesn't seem to fall quickly to the bottom disappearing into that quintessential heartbreak abyss. Sadly, the sheer impact and culmination of past heartbreaks/disappointments can lead to a person's hourglass of a heart to shatter, causing all the sand to spill out leaving him/her with a broken, empty feeling. What it primarily comes down to is not letting all the sand flow down to that certain someone you meet and down the road you end up desperately trying to plug up the hole/stop by any means necessary any more mistakes from happening.
In retrospect, we're about to see another go by with 2015 coming to close and 2016 just within sight. The goals, resolutions, and potential achievements each one of us have probably made for this coming new year may or may not be accomplished. Hey, what's important is at least you make a focused attempt to move forward with whatever decisions are being made for your future no matter how insurmountable it feels. It's a state of affairs when an individual quit when she/she didn't even take the first step because the heavy handed excuses simply held him/her/you back. Ultimately, go after what you set your sights for but be patient. You'll get there in time, especially if you have God's guidance on your side. In the end, don't have the mindset that 2016 has already ended causing it to completely disappear to the bottom of the hourglass of life; instead be positive going in with a this is Sparta mentality in which you'll face and conquer what lies ahead.
