what is time? by t. robbins

When we ask this question, the kinds of answers we get are, "Time is something we measure by a calendar or clock," or "Time is a measurement of activity."

Webster's Third New International Dictionary defines time as "a period during which something exists or continues."

None of these definitions, however, really explain what time is to us.

Time is nothing but an emotion or feeling: It's a way of looking at a moment, or at life, that produces an emotional state within us.

Think about it. How do you know how long something really takes other than by how it feels? If you are doing something that doesn't fulfill you, then a minute can seem like an eternity, can't it? Similarly, when you love what you're doing and you are totally engrossed in it, time can fly by. It literally ceases to exist.

The bottom line is that time is completely driven by emotion. There is a big difference in how you experience it if you are walking around stressed vs. if you are spending the moments of your life doing things that really matter to you.

So, while there is no more physical time for any of us, there is a lot more time for what really matters to you. The RPM system is designed to help you set up your life so that you experience time in a whole new way-a way that keeps you consistently fulfilled.
