There's a Right Time for Everything...

Hiya, folks! It's 2:22 am, 27th Jan, 2017 and I am am officially 27 years and a day old now. And that got me thinking about time. Time flies and there's nothing new or note-worthy about that. The real important thing about time is it's timing. The 'right time', my friends, is what drives the whole world.

I'll tell you how I get around to thinking about this topic. I was actually watching this movie "Morning Glory" just now and I couldn't help thinking that I was actually enjoying it because I was watching it now. It might have bored me earlier. It's timing was in perfect sync with my age, my mood and my situation.

You know, I've been with my current employer for more than five years now. And I have never been more at ease with my job than I am at the moment. So, you can call me a loyal employee. Yet many of my colleagues keep advising me to look for growth, to make a jump. And their reasoning isn't illogical at all. Personal career growth is indeed important. But somehow I am not convinced that to take that step. While one of the reasons for that is the fact that I am currently very happy with my reporting superior and feel like I have a lot to learn from him, another reason is my gut telling me that it isn't the right time yet.

So as I was saying, the right time is a very important factor, not just in case of career decisions but in everything. I remember the first time I tried to read Charles Dickens' Great Expectations. I was in the seventh grade and I wanted to impress my girlfriend with it, because she'd just read it. But it wasn't the right time for me and I got bored. A couple of years later, I got around to reading it again, this time for myself. And I loved it. In fact, it is one of my favorites even to this day.

It's the same with music, movies, people and almost any other stuff that we experience, how we perceive them depends greatly on when they come into our lives. Therefore, I think that whenever we are judging things and leaning towards writing them off, maybe we should wait for another time to re-visit them in the right time. We might end up changing our minds after all.

I'll actually sign off with that thought, keeping this one a little short. Because it is rather late and my psychiatrist tells me that late nights are one of the causes for my anxiety disorder. Ciao!
