“I will prepare, and one day my time will come.” ―Abraham Lincoln
Most people on the earth are optimistic that they will have a good time especially when their time is bad. Life is full of peaks and valleys. Every rise has a fall and every fall has a rise. There is a sunrise after every sunset. Despite knowing these universal truths, most people are concerned excessively about their problems. They hardly explore solutions. The good time arrives when you prepare consistently in your areas of interest with passion and dedication. In this regard, we will outline tools that make your good time come early.
Plan Mindfully and Work Productively
“I'll always be thankful for what I have right now. I feel that it's been a blessing. But I know my time will come. It's just the way life is.” ―Lorena Ochoa
Observe the following tools to ensure that your time will come early. Be optimistic. Martin Seligman said, "Optimists endure the same storms in life as pessimists. But they weather them better and emerge from them better off." Understand the difference between what you can control and what you cannot. Acquire an internal locus of control to make things fall into place. Accept the reality that certain things cannot be controlled. Don't get attached to your past emotionally. Come out of your comfort zone. Shift from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. Push your limits. Believe in your gut and intuition. Take risks. Network with the right people in your profession. Exchange your knowledge, skills, and abilities with others. Improve your personality, attitude, and behavior. Treat failures as lessons. Don't waste your precious time thinking about your unpleasant past and failures. Be bullish but be prepared for bearish times. Be simple and humble. Take both successes and failures equally. Reflect to improve yourself. Make the right choices. Be logical and rational while making your decisions. Be committed. Strive for excellence.
When you work hard, smart, and wise, your time will come. Your time will not come when you sit idle. Instead, your time will come when you follow your dreams. Your time will come when you take action. Your time will come when you draw a strategy and adopt innovative tools and tactics as per the situation. Understand the fact that things happen at their own pace, not as per your expectations and aspirations. Appreciate that everything happens for a reason. There is often a gap in time and timing between your expectations and realities. Fulton J. Sheen once remarked, "Patience is power. Patience is not an absence of action; rather it is "timing" it waits on the right time to act, for the right principles and in the right way." Hence, be patient and prepare persistently to wait for your day. Remember, every dog has its day.
Conclusion
“The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.” ―Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace.
No power on the earth can prevent the talent from coming to the top. Never wait for your time. Invest your present time productively and effectively to enable your good time to arrive early. When you pray to God your prayers will be heard. But your time will come when you come out of your comfort zone and take action. To conclude, take action right now to enable your time to come early.
“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” — Mae West
