You've all experienced moments in your lives that some people consider to be a result of "good luck," whereas others prefer to believe that "timing is everything," and "good luck" is nothing but preparedness and opportunity coming together. In other words, a life-changing opportunity could present itself to you, however, if you haven't been through certain experiences or life lessons, you might not recognize this opportunity. And so, it is only in time when you have learned more about yourself, know clearly what you want and what you're willing to offer to get what you want, will you then be prepared to seize the opportunity when it arrives!

So how does timing work? Well, there are lots of examples I could use since timing is involved in all aspects of your business and personal life. But I will use a relationship example since most of you have been or are in relationships. Say you're a businessman whose focus is to build your business and travel the world. You meet a career woman whose focus is to buy a house and start a family. Both of you get along well, however, your life goals are not in sync. What she wants in life does not interest you at this time. This causes you to distance yourself from the situation, and in doing so, she thinks she isn't good enough to be with you, or worst, she thinks she doesn't deserve her dream to come true. In realizing her lack of confidence, you feel even more certain she's not the right person for you, but nevertheless, you stay in touch.

Here's my point, if the timing was "right," perhaps you would have seen the beauty of the opportunity she was presenting. And as for her, if the timing was "right," she would have been confident enough to know she deserves that which makes her happy, and admit to herself you weren't the right person for her. And so it is that both of you go away to learn more about yourselves.

Karaoke time!

Say a couple years go by during which you had the chance to do all you set out to do, and have learned that all you've attained would be meaningless if you didn't have someone to share them with. There! Suddenly your mindset and priority in life change. The next time you see this woman, you see her in a different light, you want to pick things up where you left off, you want to know more about her goals—her dreams. If the timing was right, she would have then already learned to be more confident and respectful of her self-worth—she would know exactly what she deserves and how to get it. If so, you would find her more attractive than ever. In turn, your readiness to share her dreams with her makes you more attractive to her. In this case, it's safe to say the timing was just right.

When you both are on the same page and everything flows organically you may find yourself saying, "We're so lucky to have each other." But do you really think luck had anything to do with it? She could say to you, " We're so in sync with each other we should have gotten together sooner!" But would that have been a good idea? If you think back to the different mindset you both were in when you first met, you'll realize that forcing the relationship to develop sooner before its time wouldn't have been a good idea at all.

It gets better...

It's important to understand the power of synchronicity. Everything has its own divine time and order. When you understand this, you'll realize everything was as it should be. This moment you're experiencing right now, is as it should be—it's life orchestrating its never ending symphony, and the chapters of your life will play out in order, one page at a time.

Pretty cool...

Just beautiful...

I know life can be challenging. Sometimes you can fall into the trap of thinking you're not good enough to have that which you want. You've been doing everything you should, the best way you know how, and still the changes, if any, are slow in coming, almost insignificant. When you start to feel this way, just remember: Every seed planted takes time to grow. Every thought that crosses your mind is a seed. Every word you speak is a seed. Every action you take is a seed in the garden of life. You cannot see how the seed germinates. You will not see the roots sprout and take hold in the deep darkness of the earth. Unless you observe very patiently, you will not see the first little stalk poke its head up through the earth. If you become impatient and move too quickly, you will trample the first leaves of the tiny plant.

Your job here is to practice infinite patience while you keep advancing forward in a positive motion. When you do this, you can be sure, not on your time, but when the time is right, the seeds you sowed will grow into nothing less than something worth waiting for. Just you wait and see!
