In Others’ Words: Taking the Time

To everything there is a season, right?

But how many of us consider “now” the perfect season?

We don’t want to wait. We want what we want right this minute because, of course, “now” is the best time, the right time, to have it.

And yet, rushing things often ruins things. Let’s be honest: rushing things often ruins us.

Can we get things accomplished fast? Absolutely. But will the finished product be our very best effort — something great, even? Not likely.

Time provides space for us to learn. Time allows us space to revise, adjust, perfect our abilities. Time allows us opportunities to build relationships with others — mentors, teachers, friends — and we are better for all of these relationships.

Time provides us space to mature. We discover what’s important … and what’s not. Maybe our dream is worth striving for … or maybe, just maybe, someone else’s dream, someone else’s need, is more important than ours.

In Your Words: What achievement has taken longer than you expected — but it’s been worth it? Why?
