There was a time when I went to a particular office to sign some documents. When I was entering the office, just then, the Permanent Secretary walked in and within few minutes, my documents were signed. Just when I was about leaving, the PA to the Permanent Success approached me and told me how lucky I was to meet the boss. She said that the boss has not been in the office for more then 2 weeks and a lot of people have been coming to sign the same document and many of them have given up after coming for days without seeing him. She went further to tell me "you came at the right time." That was the time I realized the importance of right timing. The success you experience, or the lack of it, may just be as a result of timing.

A lot of people do not know that there are things that they have failed to achieve in the past, not because what they wanted to achieve is too difficult or unattainable, but simply because they did it at the wrong time. When you get the right timing for what you want to do, then you have already gotten it right with a major thing that will give you the required boost. Anything you do at the wrong time, irrespective of whether it is right or not, is already at a disadvantage. One of the major reasons behind why people struggle in life is that they are trying to do things outside the set time. This is why, whatever you do in life, you need to align it with the right time.
When it comes to investment for example, even if you want to start up a business and you are making research for it, you need to also know the "when" which should talk about the timing. There are some businesses that work for specific times but will not do well in other times. So you need to have your attention also focused on getting the right timing. Take for instance; during the rainy season, some products like umbrella, rain coat, etc, will sell well, but may not sell well in the dry season. So if you are to start up that kind of business, you will know the time to consolidate more on the business.
For people that know a thing or two about farming, you will agree with me that there are seasons which should be observed for either planting or harvesting. If a farmer leaves the planting season to pass and then decides to plant their crops in the harvesting season, it will not produce well. It does not matter the viability of the seed, it will be affected negatively when it is planted outside its season. But when the farmer plants the seed following the right season, it will produce as desired.
If something does not seem to work for you and you are trying to find out what to do and why it is not working for you, you need to consider the issue of timing. It is worthy to note that doing the seemingly simple and banal things at the right time might yield a better and more preferable result than doing the seemingly extraordinary things at a very wrong time.

There are times that success may just answer to right timing. This is why, even though you wish for luck to meet you, you have to rightly position yourself at the right time to enhance your chance. This is just like someone having a luck of meeting rain fall when they are in the rainy season than when they are in the harmattan.
One of the truths about life is that you cannot substitute the right time with anything. It is either you get it right with timing or struggles will become inevitable. You may not have all you have ever needed in life but what life will give you equally in fairness is the gift of time. However, what you do with your time is entirely up to you. If you use it wisely, it will benefit you, but if you do not, it may become your bane.
