Timing Is Everything

There are a lot of life lessons that you expect to learn, and there are a lot of life lessons people try and teach you about that you never fully grasp until something happens. For me, timing was one of those lessons I never truly understood and felt resolved with, until recently.

Timing is defined as a particular point or period of time when something happens. Of course, that definition is nothing inexplicable; however the weight that you can put behind it is stronger than any definition. We meet people in our lives, we live out moments, and we create memories. Timing has the deciding factor to whether or not we keep those people that we met in our lives, how the moments we choose to live end, and how to the memory is carried in our hearts and minds.

You can meet the perfect person, the one that makes you laugh and smile, however, if timing isn’t on your side then that person will soon become a mere memory. You can live out the perfect night, the night that could make you fall in love all over again, but if timing isn’t right then the night soon becomes a cherished memory that will live safely in your heart. You can create an everlasting memory with a single person, however if timing is not right, that memory will be shared alone instead of together.

Everything in life happens for a reason.

In my opinion, there are no words more right than those. We are supposed to meet people that make us happy and we are supposed to create memories that make our hearts flutter and our faces light up. But, timing has the final say. Timing decides it all. Timing can create the perfect moment and the perfect memory, and it can also steal away what might have or could have been.

Instead of choosing to curse time, and blame time for taking away an almost perfect thing, we should remember that it is all happening for a reason.

Could it be that timing and fate are working side by side to craft and mold your life? My vote is yes; those mysterious intangible ideas are screwing with your own thought out and planned life. Instead, they are building the life that was planned for you and we need to trust that it all works out in the end.

"Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward;

you can only connect them looking backwards.

So you have to trust that the dots will somehow

connect in your future. You have to trust in something —

your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever."
