We Have Time — the Poem That Will Change Your Life

This poem is written by Octavian Paler and is one of the most beautiful poems in the world.

From the moment I discovered it, my life changed completely. I used to be upset and the problems seemed to not go away from me. I spent my time complaining and blaming people and circumstances. I thought it was too late to do anything, but it is never too late and we can always find the strength to start over and make a new path. I hope this poem awakens in you the true power you have.

We have time

“We have time for everything.
Time to sleep, time to run to the right and to the left,
time to regret that we made mistakes and time to make mistakes again,
time to judge others and to absolve ourselves,
we have time to read and to write,
to correct what we wrote, to regret what we wrote,
we have time to make plans and time not to respect them,
We have time to make illusions for ourselves and to stir in the ashes later.
we have time for ambitions and sicknesses,
time to blame the destiny and the details,
We have time to watch the clouds, the advertising or some accident,
we have time to banish our doubts,
to delay the answers,
to break a dream and then reinvent it,
we have time to make friends, to lose friends,
we have time to receive lessons and forget…
