InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
July 17, 2024
The focus for today is:
There is a right timing for everything,
and when that timing comes, things happen naturally.
Today's inspiration was written by Alan Cohen:
Many of us spend a great deal of our life rushing to get places. In the process we do clumsy things, get embroiled in impatience and irritation, and sometimes cause accidents. In our haste to get somewhere, we miss being somewhere, and never seem to get anywhere.
The Greek bible, the first translation from the original Aramaic, contains two different words for “time.” One is chronos, which is similar to the way we think of time, dividing the progression of life into seconds, minutes, hours, days, and so on. The other word, kairos, is harder to translate because in our culture we don’t have one word for it. The closest translation would be, “when the time is right,” or “in the fullness of the season,” or “in God’s timing.”
Kairos recognizes that there is a right timing for everything, and when that timing comes, things happen naturally. Kairos does not depend on time. It depends on timing. Those of us who tend to live by chronos could use a good dose of kairos. We would relax more and everything would get done.

Today's inspiration was adapted from the InnerSelf.com article:
When We’ll All Get There

This is Marie T. Russell, co-publisher of InnerSelf.com, wishing you a day of trusting in right timing (today and every day)
Comment from Marie: Patience is perhaps the second major life lesson on this planet. (Love is the first.) Yet, most of us rush around, impatient for things to happen, for us to get somewhere, to achieve something, to "be somebody". A common expression is "I can't wait to..." Yet, wait we must, and when we let go of the anxiety and stress, and start to trust in "right timing" we realize that our Good comes to us at exactly the right time and the right place
Our focus for today: There is a right timing for everything, and when that timing comes, things happen naturally.
