You think it goes too slow.

That it takes too much time.

That it should have happened by now.

That you’ve worked hard enough, and showed enough patience.

And that it’s unfair.

You think you must be doing something wrong.

You’re overlooking something.

You’re betrayed by life.

But you’re not.

It’s just that our timing is really bad.

Our expectations are all over the place.

Human beings always get stuck in lousy predictions.

And what feels like ages, like a total waste of time, like not fair, is actually perfect.

And exquisitely timed.

Everything takes exactly the amount of time it takes.

You can’t waste it.

You’re not left out.

You can’t be anywhere but on track.

Your life is what it is.

It goes where it goes.

You get what you get.

But it’s nothing like you thought it would be.

If there IS a plan, it won’t be yours.

So relax.

Life’s got you covered.
