Is love different?

"I guess it's half timing and the other half's luck,
Wherever you are, whenever it's right,
You'll come out of nowhere and into my life,
And somehow I know that it'll all turn out
...
I just haven't met you yet."
- From 'Haven't Met You Yet' by Michael Bublé

Sometimes the timing is perfect because of luck. Do not always count on luck, however.

Theme for the week 1/31 - 2/6: #Luck, which follows last week's theme Timing.

"When the time is right
Don't hold back.
Doesn't matter who you are,
Doesn't matter where you've been,
Doesn't matter where you start,
Only matters where you end.
- From the song 'When The Time Is Right' by Griffin House

You must be ready to act when the timing is right.

From the song 'Time Of My Life' by David Cook:

I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd,
I know this is the time,
This is the time of my life.

Love sometimes happens at the wrong time.....

“It's scary being loved. Because life is complicated and all too often it throws you off balance by sending you the right person at the wrong time.”
― Guillaume Musso, Que serais-je sans toi?

In this example, he wasn't sure of the timing, but decided to make a proposal. The company loved it. I cannot say with certainty, but his proposal may have caused the company to become interested in what he was proposing.......

"Despite my fears, I composed an email to Gerry Murphy (the CEO)…. “Hi, this is me, I’ve achieved this, I believe that Russia would be a great opportunity, oh, by the way, I speak Russian. Is the country part of your future international strategy?” No more complicated than that, just some cheeky grad trying his luck. I wrote the email, went for a coffee, changed a few words, went for a walk outside..... came back.
...
A day later I received a reply. “Actually Paul, we were considering Russia as an option, how about you come up to London tomorrow to meet Ian Cheshire?” Ian was then the International Director, later to become CEO himself. The meeting went well and I immediately became part of the team compiling a board proposal."

Some believe that the right person could cause others to be interested in something (sweep others off their feet) even though the timing may not be right. Do you agree?

From the song 'Timimg is Everything' by Garrett Hedlund:

When the stars line up
And you catch a break,
People think you're lucky
But you know its grace.

It can happen so fast
Or a little bit late,
Timing is everything.

"Life is all about timing... the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable become available, the unattainable... attainable. Have the patience, wait it out It's all about timing."
- Stacey Charter

"Like a flower, we blossom when the conditions are right."
― Rita Said

"If you attempt certain things at the right time, they are easy to accomplish - in fact, they almost get done by themselves. If you undertake them before the time is right, not only will they fail, but they will often become impossible to accomplish even when the time would have been right."
- Francesco Guicciardini

"Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in mind."
― David G. Allen

"Patience is power.
Patience is not an absence of action;
rather it is "timing"
it waits on the right time to act,
for the right principles
and in the right way."
― Fulton J. Sheen
