Sometimes my students tell me
“I’m on a journey”
as an excuse not to change NOW.
One student complains he hasn’t had sex with his wife in 3 years. He says “I’m giving her time. She’s on a journey”
I respond: “A journey? When will she arrive?”
Another student has been struggling with alcohol abuse for 10 years. “I’m on a journey of recovery”.
I respond: “Oh yeah? Why not just quit right now?”
In reality, there is no past and no future, only the eternal now, the only time you can start, stop or change anything.
