There is a popular expression which exists, being, that, 'timing is everything'; and, another, which states, with respect to potential, opportunity, realized, that, being in the 'right place at the right time', is part of the equation for success. I am of the belief that things happen, EXACTLY, when, they are destined to occur...in, each, it's own time. There is a very, simple reason I feel this way; a pragmatic, 'point-of-view, which supports my belief-system. I look at life in this context, that, all things play out as they are intended; otherwise, the outcome would be different than that which it is/was. There is no other way, for me, to perceive this. I must believe that ALL things, good, bad, or, indifferent, play out as they ought, in the 'time-frame' in which they do, in order for me to accept, cope with, and, embrace, whatever 'change', both personal or 'global', which, impacts me and my life. 'It IS what it IS', is another of our, modern-day, 'philosophical' expressions. Although, such a simple and forthright message, the actuality of it's intention and meaning is profound; and, when, accepted, these five, words, can assist one in managing to get on with life...to move forward...especially, after experiencing life's 'less than optimal' moments. All I know is what works for me, and, that, rather than finding myself wrapped-up in 'what if' moments, I can accept the 'reality' of the life that presents itself to me, however, whatever, WHENEVER. Just Sayin'...
