The sun rose too soon

Ecclesiastes 3
A Time for Everything

1 For everything there is a season,
a time for every activity under heaven.
2 A time to be born and a time to die.
A time to plant and a time to harvest.
3 A time to kill and a time to heal.
A time to tear down and a time to build up.
4 A time to cry and a time to laugh.
A time to grieve and a time to dance.
5 A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a time to turn away.
6 A time to search and a time to quit searching.
A time to keep and a time to throw away.
7 A time to tear and a time to mend.
A time to be quiet and a time to speak.
8 A time to love and a time to hate.
A time for war and a time for peace.

Do you have those friends who seem to have landed into their dreams a bit earlier than expected? They got a job that pays millions when they can barely manage their daily bus fare, met their future spouse when they can barely control themselves, took over companies pre-maturely before they have a chance to live life like a normal person. It feels like the sun just fell on their laps and your world is still pitch-black.

I know. It's like the best problem in the world. Isn't it?

Until it's your problem and you're wondering what you did wrong. Sometimes I wish I had such a problem. Then I'd probably know where my life was generally headed. But we cannot all be so unlucky to have a life where you keep thinking that if you fail, you are going down with whole corporations and actual dreams and ambitions. Right now, I know if I fail, I only have myself to pick up, dust off and move on.

We all like to think that everything happens in its on good time. But we are human and want everything to happen right now. But have you ever wondered what would happen if suddenly you fell into those multi-millions, met that person of your dreams, suddenly started running that industry or just became president after some strange twist of the universe. What would you do next?? Do you know what step 2 will be?

That's why those people who fall into such luck are not as lucky as we'd like to think. Especially if it happened on them by surprise and that makes it so much easier for them to fail. So, I'm not too sad that I'm not rolling the millions and driving out a 4.6 Hse out of my garage in the leafy suburbs because I have no idea how to handle that life just yet.In a couple of years, hopefully not too many, my time will come. By then, I'll know exactly where to throw all that pomp and glamour.
