No, you are not on time; the clock ticks for everything

Yes, you heard it right. You are not on time and it's not just the biological clock that ticks but the clock ticks for everything!

You gotta run and run with your full might to achieve what you aspire to do and who you want to become. Remember the power of compounding in everything.

The lost time can't be brought back by listening to the motivational speakers sharing examples of the outliers from history. They are only doing it to save, sustain and establish their professional credibility. They were on time to build and hone their skills and thus, are able to share their learnings with you!

If there was an option to customize the time for anything and everything, why would mother earth give exactly 9 months to deliver a baby? Any outlier in the time has its consequences and those need to be gracefully accepted.

Why do we have 7 days in a week, 12 months in an year, a timeline for a task, and a deadline for a project?

When you outgrow that time, it makes you feel disillusioned for those very basic things you longed and worked for and start questioning their relevance in the first place.

Motherhood at the age of 24 and 40 is not the same, marriage at the age of 21 and 41 is certainly not the same, the first job at the age of 21 and 35 can never be the same, and promotion at the age of 25 and 45 can never hold the same meaning.

Yes, you are free to exercise your will to delay the deadlines to serve a different purpose chosen for your life path however for the general course of life, timelines matter and adherence to those give meaning, motivation, empowerment, sense of belonging, and staying on course.

In certain situations, propagating extraordinary is far simpler than pushing for ordinary which is neither simple to understand nor to follow. :)
