God’s delays are not his denials!

I came across the speech Rahul Dravid has delivered for the graduating students on the occasion of BITS Pilani convocation day.He referred this old saying "God’s delays are not his denials!" while describing his long wait to be selected in Indian squad.

The proverb above instantly resonates most of our feelings. There are situations in life when no matter how hard we are working, nothing actually works out.  Somethings are just beyond your control. Sometimes it’s delayed marriage, waiting for the desirable job or promotion in office, trying for a baby, it can be anything. It has happened to me, it has happened to most of us, perhaps it has happened to you as well.

Everything has it’s time. When we do not have control over things after giving our best for any cause we aim at, time gets tough. These are the testing times which may break us if we lose our patience and hope.  But these are also the times which prepare us for any tough situation in life. This is the opportunity to learn to be calm , composed and observe people around you, their approach towards you. We may come across many surprising facts, sometimes support comes from nowhere expected. These are also the opportunities to introspect, learn to be a better person and improve our mental strength.

In such situations we can rewind 5 years back of our own self. Don’t your worries of that time seems irrelevant today? And if there is something we have longed for and it has not come to us then may be there is something bigger and better in store which otherwise we would not have explored.

But Yes!

God’s delays are not his denials!

Time has its own way of taking care of everything. Just wait, watch and keep trying!
