Timing Can Be Everything

Where You Need To Be
Timing Can Be Everything

Since human timetables quite often do not correspond with universal timetables,

it's common for people to feel that life is progressing too slowly or too quickly.

We draft carefully composed plans only to find that they fall into place when we least expect.

Or, conversely,

we are thrust into roles we believe we are not prepared for

and wonder how we will survive the demands imposed upon us by unfamiliar circumstances.

When delays in our progress kindle pangs of disappointment within us

or the pace of life seems overwhelming,

peace can be found in the simple fact that we are exactly where we need to be at this moment.

Every person fulfills their purpose when the time is right.

If you have fast-tracked to success,

you may become deeply frustrated if you discover you can no longer satisfy your desires

as quickly as you might like.

Yet the delays that disappoint you may be laying the foundation for future accomplishments

that you have not yet conceived.

Or the universe may have plans for you

that differ from the worldly aspirations you have pursued up until this point.

What you deem a postponement of progress

may actually represent an auspicious opportunity to prepare for what is yet to come.

If, however, you feel as though the universe is pushing you forward at too fast a clip,

you may be unwittingly resisting your destiny.

Your unease regarding the speed of your progress

could be a sign that you need to cultivate awareness within yourself

and learn to move with the flow of fate rather than against it.

The universe puts nothing in your path that you are incapable of handling,

so you can rest assured that you are ready to grow into your new situation.

You may feel compelled to judge your personal success using your age,

your professional position,

your level of education,

or the accomplishments of your peers as a yardstick.

Yet we all enjoy the major milestones in our lives at the appropriate time-

some realize their dreams as youngsters

while others flourish only in old age.

If you take pride in your many accomplishments

and make the most of every circumstance in which you find yourself,

your time will come.
