The incoming might worth the wait

Good day lovely steemians. Hope you all are doing well. I figured out something two days go and I decided to share it here.

Have you ever been stocked at a traffic light that just refuses to change. You are sitted there, no cars crossing, no pedestrian. Everything in you is ready to move, but the light still shines red. I was in that same situation 2 days ago and in that moment I realized life feels like that. Sometimes, you know you are built for more, you know you are ready, but for some reason, you are not being released. You are watching everybody else zoom pass, while your own signal says wait. Jl

It is highly frustrating, but here is what you do not realize. A traffic light is not just about your movement. It is about timing, it is about coordination, it is about avoidance of collision. If that red light turns green too early, it might not just ruin your day, it might end your journey entirely. Sometimes, the delay is just protection. One of the things I've been forced to appreciate about life is that, life is not just about acceleration, it is also about synchronization. Sometimes you are being meant to wait so that you can align.

Just like another instance to be taken when you are in a lecture hall, you are ready to learn, ready to calculate, ready to take in...but the lecturers don't keep to time...so frustrating and devastating.

Me! While waiting to get lectures

The traffic system knows things you don't. You have an incredibly limited view of the entire landscape from behind the steering wheel. Maybe there is a trailer coming on the other side of the road that you can't see yet. Maybe there is a reckless driver about to beat their own red light. And maybe, just maybe, your red light is someone else's green light to survive.

The question is Can you trust that this delay is not denial rather it is divine timing???. Because when it's finally your turn to move, you won't need to rush, you won't need to explain. The same system that held you back, would be the same system that will let you through. The traffic light would even ensure that some people wait so that you can move freely and with authority, no hesitation, no competition, just green light energy.

Now here is the real plot twist, when you meet people who are now wildly successful, they will tell you, "if I had to go back in time, I wouldn't change a thing". They wouldn't change the delay, the detours, the disappointment, nothing. But don't be fooled, at some point in their journey, they were frustrated like you and me, they felt forgotten, they felt stocked at the red light, while others sped ahead. So what changed? Why is it that now that they are looking back they wouldn't change a thing? It is because time revealed the wisdom in the wait.

Maybe the delay is not stopping you, maybe it is upgrading what will meet you when you arrive. So I think what you are calling delay heaven is rather calling it precision. So patiently wait, till your red light turns green.

Thanks for reading my article. Love you all😊.
