It’s Never When

It’s never when you want it.

Timing is an illusion, they say. It’s also a fickle friend, often unpredictable. It tests your patience, pushes your limits, and demands you to rise, to meet it head-on.

It’s never when you think it’s going to happen. It’s in the spontaneous decisions, the unplanned detours, the delays, the unexpected encounters, the curveballs thrown your way, and the unforeseen (fill in the blank).

It’s never when you can control it. Life does what it does. It refuses to be tamed and spills over into our plans, interrupting our schedules and expectations.

It’s never when you think your presence will matter most. Instead, it is in the unsuspected, serendipitous moments that your impact resonates deeply. It’s the quiet gestures, the unseen efforts, and the words you didn’t realize someone desperately needed to hear that truly define your significance. Life has a remarkable way of unveiling your worth in the most surprising and profound ways.

It’s never when you think it will matter. In the big picture, these brief moments — what I call “temporal visions” — might seem unimportant. Yet, they have an unexpected weight, influencing lives in ways only you can see. Each fleeting moment, though it seems minor, has the potential to change the course of a life, given meaning through your perspective.

It’s never when you see it coming. The beauty of these moments lies in their unscripted nature. Yet at the core of it all, nothing else matters but this moment in space and NOW:TIME.

It’s never when you’re ready.

Preparedness is a myth, an illusion so many of us cling to. Whether we’re juggling tasks, responsibilities, or working on mastering the art of work/life balance, that’s when it strikes.

It’s never when you expect it.
