If Things Are Not Right, Give It Time

Time Change With today's need to have answers like with Google searches and the power of the world with information in the hand with our smartphone there is a tendency to think things should be fixed or "right" instantaneously. It is just not TRUE.

If things are not right, GIVE IT TIME.

Whether real estate transactions, solutions to a weighty problem, relationship issues, etc. give it time. The Earth is always moving amongst the stars.

Look at a box of photos of YOU and other family members, ten, 20 years ago. YOU ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON. "Change" is as persistent and constant as death and taxes.

Even crazily some problems GO AWAY even if neglected. I wouldn't recommend that sit on the fence strategy but I have seen that happen. A great quotation to let you know each season, each day, each hour is different is this one below. Embrace change and give things time. The rose DOES NOT bloom in an instant. Be patient.

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.

Do you mean that if I wait the snow will melt and it will get to over 80 soon? Pleasant thought since it has not reached freezing for two weeks.

Gary, everything changes, that's a certainty. Oftentimes we lay the groundwork for transactions that may not occur for months--or even a year, when the timing is right.

Your insight is right on point . . . . everything is subject to change. As Roy Kelly said we need to have patience.

Good luck and success.

Gary - Love the quote at the end. Sometimes it is difficult, especially with the younger generation, to have the patience necessary to get things right.

The graphic is lovely - star gazing is a good meditative past-time. I'll be glad when we can see them again around here. It's hard to have faith - but if we believe in ourselves and the outcome - things work out.

Good morning Gary Woltal,

Oh I love the photo and your message. We have been looking back at so many family pictures since the death of our son on December 30th and you are right...embrace change (as hard as it is) and give it time..that is what we are doing but it does take time.
