Timing is everything

Each of us has opportunities to learn all kinds of facts and figures in school.  Its often understood that the practical things you learn outside the classroom may also be very useful to you in life.  Knowledge alone only gets you so far unless you come to understand when to use it and you clarify your purpose for yourself and others.

Consider that a friend of mine is an art dealer. He buys statues and paintings as investments from artists, brokers and even the Internet. He learns art history and the value of art from a variety of sources. Following market trends teaches him that its important to understand when is a good time to buy an object, to sell an object and when is a good time to wait before taking action.

Consider your partner may have had a long day at work. You may have serious issueso n your mind which you desire to discuss.  Experience can teach you that bringing up such issues right when a tired, hungry person arrives home is not going to yield focus or even good results.   Yet, if you wait until after a good dinner, and your partner is morexed, then this person will be more focused and you'll likely have a more meaningfl discussion. Timing highly influences results.

Consider that in your youth, you may have learned your parents' payday or just after you had completed yardwork were better times to ask to borrow money than when all the household bills were due. You can gain a sense of a person's mood and this is a clue as to whether or not your request will be welcomed or not.  As you show the other person can benefit from your request, you may also be more likely to get good reception.

Consider that as a traveler, I've learned the value of taking advanatge of 'seat sales.' You don't always anticipate when these lower prices will be advertised, yet, if you keep watch on trends and make agency inquiries, you can end up with a lower priced tickets and discover your money can go further. This is another case where knowing where to look for information is useful, yet knowing when to look and when to take action can bring you even greater advantages.

Consider that many people have goals, hopes and agendas, and become impatient when events don't unfold as planned. These situations can also be percieved as opportunities to learn that what you consider to be appropriate timing for appointments, births, deaths, retirements and other milestones may not be what other people consider to be the best timing. Let go of control and appropriate timing will run its course. You don't always have to understand why things happen when, yet its humbling to grasp that all events you wish to influence aren't under your control.

Consider that earthly timing may differ from cosmic and other kinds of timing.  This implies you won't always sense a particular logic to events and experiences. Accept timing can be a mystery.

Consider that when you start out in any endeavour, you may not feel as confident or prepared or exhilarated as you desire. You may stumble and make mistakes, even experience a sense of failure on multiple occasions. Okay. Realize that perceived negative feelings and events also have timing which you influence based on your reactions. You learn about emotions based on experience and reactions. You will come to feel spontaneous, challenged, astronished or overwhelmed based on your own timing. You influence feelings on a conscious, unconscious and supraconscious level even if you aren't aware of all your feelings or why you experience them.
