Timing is everything

You know, I've heard that "timing is everything" for a long time but sometimes it is hard to really accept when the timing isn't right, right now. However, I'm becoming more of a believer. Missed opportunity that annoyed a person, can make a full circle down the road. Chance happenings can have greater meaning. I do not believe in coincidences...there is a purpose in most everything, every "coincidence". What I'm realizing is, with a little reflecting on things, you can realize why things may have passed you by in previous months or even years, only to come back at you down the road. Perhaps you weren't ready...ready for a challenge, a change. Perhaps there was no time for anything new or different. Perhaps you weren't mentally able to take this thing on. Perhaps you needed more experience under your belt to be able to make it work.

I went to a really amazing forum this morning for Women Leaders and some amazing things were said. Things that don't necessarily relate to the above, but in some ways do. Approaching a goal one small piece at a time versus attacking the big picture...figuring out how to get to the corner before trying to get to the bridge down the road...learning along the way and collecting experience with each step.

It's exciting. And hopefully only the beginning.
