Among the few moments in the past days, I’ve come to realize the feeling of wanting to move forward in times where settlement is required. When a storm is approaching, the best course of action is to wait until it’s over then continue the journey.

Can’t help but to feel restless and wanting to progress, and at the same time knowing very well that things takes time before they can manifest. As much as I’d like a tree to grow, there’s nothing I can do to speed up the process than allowing time and let nature do its thing.

This feeling has been perfectly encapsulated by Lao Tzu, “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” This process can be seen everywhere, humans does not need instructions to grow, it does it all by it self. As long as the proper care and nurture is in place, everything else follows.

Then comes the question, what do I do in these times where settlement is required? I’ve come to conclude in these times it’s entirely up to the individual to find where time pleases the most. As of my self, is to indulge in some fantasy video games, movies and further expanding on my life’s mission.

In all, there’s time for everything, and everything is time. It’s not to say, sit back and dont do anything until the “perfect” time rises. But rather, realizing what time it is and when the time is. In other words, one can prepare what’s to come after the storm or be unprepared for what’s to come. In times of settlement, a balance between preparation and reparations are in dire.

Until next time, take care!
