Timing Isnt Everything or Is It? v.s. Have you heard the expressions “timing is everything”, “time waits for no one”, “we are in a race with time”? When someone says one of those things to you, doesnt it instill a sense of hurry? Doesnt it cause you to think you have to beat the clock, race for your life, and then what happens? Panic sets in, right? Why do we sometimes live our lives like we are salmon swimming upstream, pushing with all of our might against the currents? Was life meant to always be a struggle? Was life meant to always be rushed and in a hurried pace? Sometimes we do just the opposite though and we procrastinate and then may miss a deadline, or miss an appointment. I know I have been guilty of that as well as racing through life. I read that “an action taken too soon can be as ineffective as one taken too late”.M.Beatte So what do we do? Before you answer that, what are some of the reasons one would try to rush time? Some of the reasons I thought of were if we were frightened or fearful that we wouldnt act in time, or we had to “get there” first, or to make sure something happened as we had planned. What might be a reason we dont act at all? Maybe we were afraid to make the wrong decision to act or speak too soon, or that we would be mocked or judged, or we simply gave up because the pressure was overwhelming. Do you know there is a Divine order to life? There is a plan and a flow to life. Ive learned that. Ive learned and am still learning to go with life, to wait in expectation for the gifts and blessings, to see how the pieces all fit. It is exciting to me now to look back at the end of the day to reflect on the series of events. My view of life has changed now to try (and there are moments when I have to remind myself), and do what needs to be done in a days time and then to let go and enjoy it all as it develops. We will never beat the clock really and time doesnt wait that is for sure, but I believe we can find many more reasons to find bits of joy and happiness in our day if we slow down, stop forcing, stop panicking and just have faith and trust that life happens as it will and is meant to. We cant force happiness and we cant force how and when things and people come together. We are pieces of the same puzzle of life. Lets remember to look forward to how our day develops and all the pieces come together. Lets find your bits and pieces of joy as they fall. Lets just relax and let go!
