Time will tell

Never get a pet if you know you don't have the time and resources to take care of it, my mother told me. The basic principle in life is to understand one's capabilities and limitations at a specific moment /season in one's life. Take note money and time both apply. It is rather strange that man is constantly placing himself in situations which would have been avoided just by simply applying this basic principle. I am not saying you shouldn't be ambitious or have dreams but rather face reality with an awakened mind. Never walk while you are still stuck in your slumber, you will hit a wall. Always take calculated risk. If you keep accumulating debt (loans you aren't able to pay) just know you are living beyond your capacity. Notice I have said debt, smart people get loans to invest, and average people get loans to travel or host a party without a plan on how they will return the money. Don't buy a car if you won't be able to maintain it. Young men, don't ask a woman to marry you if you can't manage your responsibility or do not have a proper direction for your life. Never rush into a new relationship if you are not over your ex or haven't reaffirmed your self -worth. You will never be whole if you don't give yourself time to heal, time to grow, time to learn. Remember life is a process, so take as much time as you need to become a better you.  Laws of nature, constantly remind us of stages we must go through, a toddler crawls before it can walk. Why are we in a hurry to live a lifestyle we aren’t ready for? Trust me, I know the struggle. The pressure you get from your pride, family and friends to portray a certain status or class that you are not ready for. Remember nobody forces the caterpillar to turn into a butterfly. It is only the butterfly that recognizes when time is due.
