"All In Right Timing"

Because otherwise I'm fighting upstream.

For years, I would push my agenda and push my goals forward without any concept of right timing.

If I felt it was the most important thing that needed to be done or the shiniest object that I wanted to have accomplished,

I would push. I would grind. I would “achieve.”

And sometimes that worked - sometimes that was in alignment with the right timing…

And plenty of other times it didn't work.

Plenty of other times I was pushing something forward at the wrong time,

There were other people or other groups or initiatives that needed to be involved… That weren't ready…

And this isn't about the Universe or God or religion or anything along those lines.

Look, I believe in higher powers and there's definitely something to Divine timing in my personal opinion,

But that's not what I'm talking about here.

A perfect example - I'm working on something right now with our team.

What I feel is our most critical initiative right now is held up because one of my teammates is on vacation.

Now I could whine about that. I could complain about it

Or I could go on a tear and just push a bunch of stuff forward thinking to myself, or possibly even saying out loud: 'Oh, we don't need to wait for this person. Let's go go go go go.’

But all that would probably accomplish is extra work for me and whoever else fell into that trap with me,

Where we do the work now and then just do it all again when this person's back from vacation.

Now on the flip side, I'm not suggesting that I do nothing.

And wait for the right time and wait till everything's perfect.

If you know me at all, I'm sure you can appreciate that's not how I roll.

I'm one to act first…

You know… Ready. Fire. Aim. kind of approach…

So by no means am I suggesting that we should wait for everything to be correct.

This is more about trusting the alignment of people, of processes, of projects and of timing and sometimes that timing is not there.

Now, the way I roll, there's plenty of other things I can work on and accomplish that are also highly important.

It's not just about doing busy work.

Then there are other times when the timing isn't there and there isn't something very important and it's a day that's worth taking off early in the afternoon…

Things just aren't moving forward and I’m waiting on stuff and it's time to take a break.

So where in your life are you not trusting the timing?

And at the same time where in your life are you waiting for things to be just right, just perfect enough before you move forward.

And are you missing the window of opportunity that's open to you right now?

Talk soon...
