Yes, the speed of life really is up to you. If you believe that things are going slower then you are right. On the flip side if you believe that they are going faster then you are also right. It is not easy to slow down time, however, if you can become aware of it then you can change it. Whether you are young or old it does not matter. This can be why some people experience either heaven or hell on earth. It all comes down to your state of mind of time. This is not something that I'll pretend is easy or simple. In the hardest times of my life it certainly did feel that time could barely move. Sometimes it is hard to slow down the best times too. Either way, being present is not always the easiest. It is still up to us how we will go through life. Slow it down if you like and enjoy the ride!
