Greetings, Leaders.
Someone once said, "Timing is everything in life and business."
What would you say is the value of timing in life and business?
What role does timing play in your reaching the goals you set and fulfilling your vision?
What actions can we take to understand the impact of timing on our lives? How will we benefit from understanding the importance of timing in life, career, and business?
These are some of the questions and answers we will seek during the coming weeks as we examine the lives of great leaders and their responses to timing in life and career.
It all begins with vision and purpose for our lives.
Regardless of age, a person needs to have a vision for life and career.
The power of the vision with purpose will sustain us when difficulties come.
That is why, from ancient times, we have been encouraged to write out our vision and move forward in life.
"Write the vision and engrave it plainly on clay tablets So that the one who reads it will run. The vision is for the appointed [future] time. It hurries toward fulfillment; it will not fail. Even though it delays, wait patiently for it because it will certainly come; it will not delay."
Taking the time to think through and write out what you believe is your worthy destination in life is vital.
Having a conviction about your goal is essential - knowing that you are in the right place, doing the right things at the right time with the right motives.
My daughter and granddaughter gave me a Charlie Brown and Linus birthday card. Even Charlie Brown in Charles Schultz's "Peanuts" comic strip has a point of view as he reflects with his best friend Linus regarding the timing of his journey in life. Charlie says, "For everything, there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven." Observation can reveal timeless insights.
For example, the farmer knows the right time to plant and the expected harvest time through careful lessons taught in nature.
I am sure each of us can think of examples where it is evident that timing is essential. The farmer also knows that he needs to exercise faith in what he knows to be right about sowing and reaping.
We, too, can expect, anticipate, and prepare for our harvest to come at just the right time.
Be encouraged!
Keep moving forward by faith!
Victory!
