We all have some dreams, and to full-fill them, we need to work on it. Most of us think that we have a certain amount of time to accomplish our dreams. We are not willing to wait a little bit more. We don’t have enough patience. – Jay Shetty
We always think of getting settles at a certain age. We think to get everything in a certain time and live life peacefully.
I know people who graduated at 21 and didn’t get a job until they were 27.
I know people who graduated late at 25 and they found work immediately.
I know people who never went to university, but found what they love at 18.
I know people who found a job straight out of college making decent money, but hate what they do.
I know people who took gap years and found their purpose.
I know people who were so sure about what they were going to do at 16, they change their mind at 26.
I know people who have children but are single.
I know people who are married but had to wait 8 to 10 years to have children.
I know people in relationships who love someone else.
I know people who love each other but aren’t together.
So my point is everything in life happens according to our time, our clock.
You may look at some of your friends and think that they’re ahead of you, maybe some of them you feel are behind, but everything happens at their own pace.
They have their own time and clock and so do you.
Be patient.

“Not everything that counts can be counted
