"Too late or just on time?"
Posted on March 04, 2024 by Marwa Gad, One of Thousands of Career Coaches on Noomii.
When thing happen exactly how you want them to happen, However ... not when you want them.
Is it a blessing or a patience test?
Life continues to teach me things every second if you look at things as deeply as I do.
One of the most annoying things (for me) is that things never happen when I expect them or need them the most … and then I realize that they happen as soon as I give up.
Was this a coincidence or a pattern?
It was a pattern that kept happening repeatedly; for example, the job you wanted so badly only came when you gave up searching, so the joy of getting the job hits you differently!!
Imagine if we received everything we wanted and needed instantly!! I don’t think my tiny brain can even imagine that! I would totally have a heart attack (Always dramatic)
But the deep thinker that I am, I started watching the pattern, trying to understand why! I always like to ask why! because nothing is a coincidence… Everything’s been calculated and couldn’t or shouldn’t be any other way, but I can’t help but wonder!
The appreciation that comes too late is useless, or that’s what it feels like.
The title you achieve after long and hard work and battles, then realize you didn’t have as much joy as you expected!
The love words that are said when you don’t feel the same way anymore.
The house you waited for for years, and when you got it, it didn’t feel like what you thought.
Many things keep happening later than when we need them the most! Are we learning patience? Are we not supposed to feel that extreme momentary achievement of things because that would be too powerful? Or are we giving up on things and each other too quickly and too early?
I despise waiting for anything, and I know it’s such a painful trait. Still, now that mature version of myself knows damn well it’s for my good and appreciates the agony of waiting while something better than I imagined is cooking for me, and it is only part of the game called “life.”
I’ll wait for the good things to come my way, but if they don’t, I enjoyed the ride.
Love & Peace
