Be Careful What You Wish For...

You've heard people say, "Be careful what you wish for, because you might just get it". Well when we hear that I think it's safe to assume that most of us give that a negative connotation, but on the contrary, that could be a good thing for you. But if you're asking for good things that you know you're not ready for, that may only bring negativity into your life. When something good comes into your life but you're not ready for it, we all pretty much chalk that up to "bad timing". Yes, that may be true, but I'm personally not one to completely believe in that. If you want something bad enough I think you will find and make the time for it. But either way it goes, if you don't see yourself having the time, the patience or just the willingness to put forth enough effort, don't ask for it! We like the idea of having certain things so much that we don't even take into consideration that it may not be right for us or just may not be the right time. And yes, I know what I just said about bad timing, but it's bad timing if you yourself make it that way. To me, bad timing exists when you know you don't have the time yet you still try to take on more than you can handle. In the end, if you're wishing, asking, praying..whatever it is you do..for something and that opportunity arises, there's probably few exceptions as to why it won't work out, that isn't your doing. Now whether you're asking for someone new in your life or a new job opportunity and you feel as though it's "bad timing", remember that it's not just that simple. You may be able to just drop it or back out, but do you truly know how much your actions affect a person that took a chance on you or put their name on the line for you? Sometimes it's way more than just "bad timing" when you ask for more than you're ready for; it's another person's feelings or credibility at stake as well. If you aren't ready for it, don't ask for it. Ask how you can better help prepare yourself so you'll always be ready, no matter the timing.
