It Takes Time

Posted by decem under Happy Times , No man is an island.

I had met many kinds of people in my life. With many different kinds of personality and characters. Most of the people that I met up with are usually brooding over their work or family. Or over little issue like been bitten by a mosquito. I am mostly on the listening part and then later on, advisory.

I am not a perfect person and certainly the planet is so huge that there are still many places or insects that I haven’t yet seen or encountered. So I might not be the one who can say or judge about one’s circumstances. But sometimes I was really trying to help by saying some positive things that I knew but I will only taste the attitude like; “you are not in my shoes so you know nothing about these..” That’s the most excruciating statement which I am so used to hear from this kind. So from there I’d always thought to myself, “Come on, it’s not the end of the world… What’s the worst that could happen?”

Nature always takes her time. I mean mostly time will heal and grow. Diamonds aren’t formed in a week and everything of value, of beauty, of majesty in the universe took time to become so. In the real world there are very few instant, overnight successes. It takes times to build a business of value or to create financial independence.

So it will be with our growth and development. We need to keep a balance as does the rest of nature. Need to rest and recuperate, as do all other living things. Let’s be gentler on ourselves when assessing our own progress and recognise how the way things work. It takes time to build confidence and a healthy body, or a positive outlook. There will always be easy times and there will be hard times. We can learn from this approach. We need to take out time to rest, to review, to ponder and to be.

If you decide that you are indispensable and that you must always have your nose on a grindstone, then you can live your life like that. Your belief that you can never rest will be your reality until such time as you decide differently. When we do make rest a part of our lifestyle, we become so much more productive when we work. But things will get better like they always do. The trouble is that too many people give up and go home too early.

The tide will always turn, as there will be changes on their perspectives when the right time comes.
