The only reason for time is that everything doesn’t happen at once.
— Albert Einstein

Succeed and Soar’s first “Words” series, explored eight phrases that could help appreciate human experiences, understand the world and aim for more peace of mind. Three years later, new concepts will be explored each month, beginning with Time Slip. A good example is the 1993 movie Groundhog Day [trailer] where Bill Murray’s  character keeps repeating the same February 2.

Time Slip means thoughts traveling to the past or future. Going backwards can recall happy moments. Also, disappointments. Whether joyful or sad, mental time slips can contain helpful insights. As for remorse, sorrows and anguish, here are prescriptions:

• Psychology Today’s Best Way to Handle Regret,  which can include focusing on minor disappointments that can be fixed.
• The Cleveland Clinic’s How to Deal with Regrets,   that can begin with self forgiveness
• Well & Good’s 10 Tips for Dealing with Any Kind of Regret, like apologizing to others who may have been involved.

Mentally visiting the future involves creating experiences that have not occurred. These imaginings allow planning options and ‘what-if’ alternatives. But what if physical time travel happens?

How Time Slips: What is it and How Does It Happen? Among other incidents, its list includes the August 1901 report of Charlotte Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain who said they encountered Marie Antoinette on the day, in 1792, the queen learned revolutionaries had stormed the Tuileries Palace.

The Mystery of Time Slips: Real Cases and Theories includes one man’s encounter with “African American children running around, overseen by their mother, who was dressed in dated clothing: a turban head wrap and a long dress. When the author tried to find that cabin again a few days later, he could not.”

Time Vortexes like the Bermuda Triangle, the Devil’s Sea near Japan and Bold Street in Liverpool, England can also cause these phenomena.

Science has proven Albert Einstein’s “Theory of Relativity.” In one experiment, NASA found a clock on the ground and flown in an airplane kept different time.

When Border Czar Tom Homan said that removing more immigrants would be quicker when the government gave his department additional $billions, keep in mind that Congress isn’t growing money on trees. This funding situation was discussed in  Succeed and Soar’s post,  “View from Forbes and Braddock.”  Whether for law enforcement, better public education or health care, legislative choices are,
