Patience:The lost gem in today's impatient world

In today’s fast-paced world, we are so busy in running the rat race that whenever the outcome is not what we expected, we are afflicted by the 3D syndrome (Disappointment, Dejection and Depression). This is because right from the young age we conditioned to chase the destination but are never taught to appreciate the journey. We are so scared of being left behind in the race that we never give a thought whether we are approaching the right destination and most of the times we are not and as a result fall in the 3D trap. 

Couple of day's back I received a whatsap message which succinctly captured the above situation.

“You are unique, don't compare yourself to others.

Someone graduated at the age of 22, yet waited 5 years before securing a good job; and there is another who graduated at 27 and secured employment immediately!

Someone became CEO at 25 and died at 50 while another became a CEO at 50 and lived to 90 years.

Everyone works based on their 'Time Zone'. People can have things worked out only according to their pace.

Work in your “time zone”. Your Colleagues, friends, younger ones might "seem" to go ahead of you. May be some might "seem" behind you. Everyone is in this world running their own race on their own lane in their own time. God has a different plan for everybody. Time is the difference.

Obama retires at 55, Trump resumes at 70. Don't envy them or mock them, it's their 'Time Zone.' You are in yours!”

Life gives everybody ample opportunities, its up to us to recognize them & to prepare & equip ourselves to make full use of those opportunities

Just a thought as I end this article think what would have happened If Rahul Dravid had tried becoming Sachin Tendulkar or Virender Sehwag?
