“You can discover the right information at the right time
today.” I don’t recall where I saw
this quote or who said it, but I liked it enough to make a note of it. Seems like a straightforward enough
mentality. But then, things are
seldom as they appear. Let’s take
a closer look….
Each and every day, folks seek information. Some succeed. Some fail. Some come close, falling just short their mark. So what causes some to reach their goal
while others are forced to peer at success through the staggered slats in
life’s fence?
Timing…. I
believe it all comes down to timing.
If a person’s not ready to learn the truth about a situation or absorb
some new bit of information, then they’ll likely be blinded to that
reality. But…if the timing’s
right, and the person is actively seeking, then information has an ironic way
of congealing into something solid enough for one to grasp rather than some
vague figment of the mind.
Though we have the almighty Internet at our disposal, information
is useless if a person is unwilling or unable to process such knowledge. After all, we’re only human. As such, we’re incapable of processing
formation that we’re not emotionally, mentally or physically equipped to gain. Were we computers, the situation might
be different. But we’re limited to
what we are, so, we must manage expectations by accepting our limitations.
This isn’t to say that we should look for cop-outs or
opportunities to bail on things we should do. By managing our expectations and accepting that we can only
discover the right information at the right time, we open doors for better
understanding that might otherwise be closed. Why? Because
we’re actively seeking new information with an accepting spirit.
Some of that information will seep into the finer nuances of
our being. Others will barely
brush the surface, but all, if we’re willing and accepting, will touch us in
some manner…and in the right time.
