Good question. I hope you don’t think I am going to give you an answer, because I really have no clue. Recent events in my life have made me think of this topic and wonder the relevance of timing in various aspects of my life. My initial thought was that it depended on the topic at hand. This question can apply to many different situations, for example, business decisions, purchasing decisions and relationship decisions. To help me get the answer to this question I did what anyone would do, I Googled it! I have to admit, I am completely shocked that only one result on the first page attempted to answer this question in regard to something other than relationships. I’ve listed below the responses and quotes that gave me the biggest emotional response. I’m not saying I agree or disagree, just putting out there what made me feel the strongest, whether it was a positive or negative response. And for those of you wondering, yes I was looking for the answer in regard to relationships lol!
Timing is everything, but this is true of everything, not just relationships. How much of your life now is due to things that happened because you were in the right place at the right time? If you have ever narrowly escaped a terrible car wreck by a fraction of a second, that’s timing.
Sure timing is important, although I think of it more as a long-term thing. My wife and I have both remarked how it’s a good thing we hadn’t met when we were younger, because we wouldn’t have been able to stand each other.
Don’t let circumstance rule your life.
I think timing does have something to do with relationships and attraction. You can say the person doesn’t want to make something work but really, anyone can make anything work. It just comes down to how uncomfortable they want to be to do so.
Timing won’t stop anything that is meant to be. A good relationship is consistent with achieving any outside goal or priority — indeed, there’s no job or goal which doesn’t become easier to achieve with the support of a partner.
“Two people can be perfect for each other but if the timing’s wrong its never going to work out. Bad timing is the reason that most normal people end up single. Weirdos and creeps are single cause they are weird and creepy but people like us are single because of bad timing. “- From the movie, Love & Sex
Life is full of uncertainty, circumstance, and unexpected surprises. Faith is something that you have to posses. If the moment isn’t right for you as a couple, you have to believe that it will unfold how and when it is meant to.
If you really care for someone and want to be with them, you find a way to make it work. You compromise, you fight for each other, and together, you find a way to overcome all the obstacles that have been put in front of you.
I have talked myself in circles. I guess what I’m trying to say is that if you’re wondering if “the timing was not right” is an excuse for a larger problem in the relationship, or is irrefutable proof that the relationship would probably not have worked even if the timing was right, I think the answer is - you can not ever really know, and you will likely make yourself bonkers trying to guess, as understandable as it is to wonder.
Girls want it. Guys want it. Let’s get busy. – That’s just funny! Had to throw it in!
Whatever happened to love can conquer all? When it comes down to it, are emotions what rule the fate of a couple or does it come down to the science of circumstance?
We are all driving down the highway of life at different speeds, sometimes the traffic happens to line things up just right so we travel in sync with another person.
I think this is one of those things where absolutist thinking can really make you crazy. In some situations, timing is everything — in others, it’s just not right but the timing being wrong seems like the right excuse — maybe it’s both at one time.
I mean: time and time again, we’ve all had to face that painful realization that if he or she really cared as much as we did, they would have moved hell and earth to make things happen.
Timing is often a convenient excuse, but I’m not always positive it is the real reason. If two people really want to be together, they will both put in effort to try to make it work.
I’m really curious and want to know, WHAT DO YOU THINK??? If you’ve never commented, this is the post to do it on. Apparently it’s a huge topic of discussion, just Google it yourself and see! I’ll end on this ~
Every moment is an opportunity to be a move making moment. So don’t make excuses, make moves!
