Timing is everything in life. Recently at church, the priest said "God's timing is truly the perfect timing." Although it may sound like I'm trying to push my religious beliefs on to you, I'm not. I'm just a firm believer that things happen when they are meant to. Many people, including myself at times, try to rush through phases in life and question why things aren't happening when we think they should. Things will happen in your life when they are meant to happen.

For instance, so many people worry about being in a relationship and try to force things that aren't there. If the timing isn't right in your life, a relationship won't be possible. If relationships don't seem to be working out for you currently, there's most likely something you should be focusing on instead, such as school or a job.

Don't stress out because other people you know are in relationships. Take a step back and remind yourself that you'll be in a relationship when the timing in your life is just right. Instead of worrying about not being in a relationship, focus on bettering your life so that when you are in a relationship, your life will be that much better.

People also stress about not getting the perfect job or internship right away. It's important to remember that you most likely won't get your dream position right away, but instead you need to work for it and put hours in to gain experience. When the timing is right in your life, you'll be ready and prepared with plenty of experience to kick ass at your job or internship.

Although growing up and entering the real world can be a very scary thing, remind yourself that it's okay to not get your dream internship or job right away as long as you continue working for it. When you are truly ready and prepared, the timing will be right. You'll be able to perform at your internship or job so much better than if the timing wasn't right.

Friendships also take time to form. Don't rush into friendships or expect them to form right away. The timing of each friendship is so important. Each friend, whether good or bad, helps you learn lessons that you couldn't learn without them. Don't stress if you haven't found your core group of friends yet, because there is a reason, whether you can see it now or not. I've learned that friendships come and go based on the timing and circumstances in your life.

Take a step back and focus on the bigger picture in life, everything will happen when it's meant to happen. Timing is key to everything and it's important to be patient and let things happen when they are meant to happen. Don't try to force things based on when things are happening to other people, everyone has their own timing in life.
