And then there is the most dangerous of all illusions about time - the
idea that you will be given “enough time” to live your life.

I so do know this to be true.

I remember one time last year, when my son was four years-old, he asked me how old I was. I asked him to guess and he said “20″. When I told him that I was 36 he just looked at me wide-eyed and said “W-O-W!” For a few months after that, he thought that 36 was the largest number possible in the entire universe. That summer, we went to a major league baseball game and when we walked into the stadium he looked at the crowd and said,<EM> “Wow Dad! There must be 36 people here!!”</EM></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.iwillchangeyourlife.com/2007/12/05/the-illusion-of-time/"><P>I’m still not sure how I feel about that one!</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.iwillchangeyourlife.com/2007/12/05/the-illusion-of-time/"><P>Like a true illusion, time really depends on your perspective. To a four year-old, 36 is an impossible age to imagine. While to someone in their 50’s or 60’s, 36 is too young to have a stroke.
