"You won't do it at the right time. You'll be late. You'll be early. You'll get re-routed. You'll get delayed. You'll change your mind. You'll change your heart. It's not going to turn out the way you thought it would. It will be better."
My dear friend Emily (www.emilykaatherine.com) showed this to me a few months back and it lifted my spirits so easily. I love the whole article, and this quote especially.
It reminds me a bit of these lines from ''The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock'' by T. S. Eliot:
''And indeed there will be time For the yellow smoke that slides along the street, Rubbing its back upon the window-panes; There will be time, there will be time To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet; There will be time to murder and create, And time for all the works and days of hands That lift and drop a question on your plate;
Time for you and time for me, And time yet for a hundred indecisions And for a hundred visions and revisions Before the taking of a toast and tea.
(...)
And indeed there will be time To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?" Time to turn back and descend the stair,
(...)
Do I dare Disturb the universe? In a minute there is time For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.''
always. it is always better. we may not realise it at the time, but in the end we look back and realise all along things were going the right way, leading you to where you are right now.
