Time is a luxury we don't have... According to Billy Bob Thornton in Armageddon.
Time is measured by a clock.
Clocks are a necessity to life. We use clocks to help schedule and keep track of our day.
Everyone reading this has a clock. Perhaps they have more than one clock.

THE SOCIOLOGIST'S PERSPECTIVE
Clocks are great to help you stay organized; however, if you live your life inside the clock instead of outside, you are placing yourself in a prison cell of stress you created yourself.
In other words, the clock begins to dictate your life instead of you running your own life.
Consider this: There is a business man in a coffee shop working feverishly on his laptop. He has his cell phone on the table next to his laptop along with his day planner. He is also constantly looking at his wrist watch to see how many minutes are left before his deadline. You can tell he is stressed..
At the opposite end of the coffee shop there is another man who is around the same age as the business man. He is calm and collected while he reads a tangible book. He even enjoys a casual conversation with random strangers who sit next to him.
Both men make the same amount of income, have similar a similar work schedule, and have families. So why are their lives so different?
The business man lives inside the clock whereas the the other man lives outside the clock.
The business man has formed his own prison of time as he has four clocks to keep himself on track.
The man reading the book has only one clock on him. Most likely this clock is his cell phone.
The business man is letting time decide his fate as the casual man is enjoying life.
"Time is money," says the business man.
"Time is the pathway to new beginnings," says the casual man.
Do you set time aside for family, values, adventures, or building connections within your community?
If you uphold time as a means to build money, you are missing out on the greater things in life.
Loose all your clocks for one day and focus on the things that matter most. Spend more time with family, friends, or doing something you enjoy doing without having to worry about not having enough time.
That is living your life outside of the clock.
