Normally I start my day around 4 am. By the time I finish my daily chores and get ready to leave home for work it would be around 7.45 am.
Today, I was late about 35 minutes. I started and tried to do things little faster. To my surprise, I finished and was ready to leave home for work around 7.30 am – 15 minutes earlier. Actually, it was very pleasant and was not a nightmare as I presumed.
I just pondered about how I could finish 15 minutes earlier, when I was delayed by 35 minutes. It struck me that that I did not waste any time and just doing my routine.
I felt that sometimes it is better to start late. Is it the same in life as well. Yes – my belief became certain – it is better that things happen late in our life as well. In share market, experts use to say “give time to the market” and do not time the market. The same principle apply in life as well “give time to life for things to happen”.
I come across many young person with very big ambition and target. With that in mind chase many things without valuing life and relationship. But end up in frustration, agony, dissatisfaction and depression.
It is better to be late. Let us simply live, work, enjoy and give time to life for things to happen. This would also invariably enable us to value, cherish and keep carefully the relationships and materials things that we get instead of getting arrogant, loosing and regret.
