You think it goes too slow.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That it takes too much time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That it should have happened by now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That you\u2019ve worked hard enough, and showed enough patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that it\u2019s unfair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You think you must be doing something wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re overlooking something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re betrayed by life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you\u2019re not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s just that our timing is really bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our expectations are all over the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human beings always get stuck in lousy predictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what feels like ages, like a total waste of time, like not fair, is actually perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And exquisitely timed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything takes exactly the amount of time it takes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t waste it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re not left out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t be anywhere but on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your life is what it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It goes where it goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You get what you get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s nothing like you thought it would be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there IS a plan, it won\u2019t be yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life\u2019s got you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
