Later is not never

DELAY IS NOT ALWAYS DENIAL

In today's world, patience, and waiting always feel like a form of defeat, it feels like a return to yesterday, it feels like one is on a sharp reverse to the past. Justifiably so, the world is moving at unprecedented speed, advancement in science and technology is so rapid that it seems we are running into another generation. Today we want instant answers, immediate success, and overnight transformations. When our dreams do not materialize on our preferred timeline, we assume that life has denied us, that the door has closed for good, but that is not always the case.

When we look through history, we will find stories of great achievements that came after long periods of waiting. Moses wandered the desert for 40 years before leading his people to freedom at 80. Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison before emerging as a leader who would change a nation. J.K. Rowling faced countless rejections before 'Harry Potter' became a global phenomenon. Had they given up at the first sign of delay, the world would have been deprived of their extraordinary contributions.  

Delay is often preparation in disguise. It gives us time to grow, to refine our skills, to develop resilience, and to align with the right opportunities. A no today does not mean a no forever, your yes can come tomorrow, it might just mean not yet. The universe has a way of orchestrating events in ways we cannot always see in the moment. What feels like a setback could be a setup for something greater, something unimagined.

If you are waiting for a breakthrough, an answer, a sign, but it seems not to be coming through, do not lose hope. Delay is not denial. Keep moving forward, keep believing, and trust that when the time is right, what is meant for you will find its way to you. The best things often come not when we demand them, but when we are truly ready to receive them.

To a better you, Kamikun John.
