Timing is everything, some say. And there is truth to that. We cannot control the timing of life. We cannot make the perfect moment present itself whenever we want it. Sometimes we have to wait for inspiration to strike or for events to align in order to create a more fulfilling life, to make progress on a major life project, or even to find the right partner. Timing does impact our ability to affect true change in our lives.

However, that does not mean that we get to sit around twiddling our thumbs, waiting for that perfect moment to hit. We have to put in effort to realize change. We have to work when it is hard and inconvenient, work when things suck, when timing is awful. It may feel frustrating but we have to continue to take baby steps so that when the timing is right, we are prepared.
