TIME AUTHENTICATES; GIVE IT TIME

There has always been this witty saying that “procrastination is the thief of time.” Time is in arguably one of the greatest assets ever gifted to man. Everything that takes place in life goes with the rhythm of time, it remains one thing that is never under man’s control. But we must be fair with that statement above.

 I must clearly state it that there’s a big difference between ‘giving it time’ and procrastination. In procrastination, you postpone. It is a negative term and often yields disappointment and bad effects. But when you ‘give it time’, you practice the virtue of patience in ‘sensitive matters.’ So, it would be incongruous to place procrastination in place of  ‘give it time’.

One characteristic of our modern world and society, very notable among the young minds especially is quick decision-making without rationality. Now! You must listen!

When someone comes and tells you, "I can't sleep without you, I love you the way you are and I can put up with your good and bad attitude", my dear, before you commit your heart to such a person, please, GIVE IT TIME.  

When You just met someone today and feel like marrying him/her tomorrow, mind you, before you do, remember you need to GIVE IT TIME.

When you visit your uncle during a vacation for 2 months, don't be carried away that they serve you your preferred food and give you hot water to bath during your first two days. Don't start making arrangements to relocate to their house, just GIVE IT TIME.

When a brother visits you and wakes you up by his shouting of prayer from 12 am to 6 am, please don't shut him down, he may be genuine, first GIVE IT TIME.

When someone joins your fellowship in the first year and he is in every group/department, please don't rush and make him a leader, his commitment and dedication may be just for a follower, rather GIVE IT TIME.

When you enter a new environment and everybody worships you and eat your mess don't be carried away. When someone comes with a new business strategy with unbelievable promises, please before you involve your money, first GIVE IT TIME. 

Finally, when you are in a cross road of decisions, you don't know what to do, ask the people or person involved to please GIVE YOU TIME.

You can be good in giving people tests and trying out who they are. Some people know how to pass them all but the test of time they will fail. 

Time tests Love and proves it. Time tests businesses and authenticates it. Time tests spirituality and reveals it. Time tests friendship and uncovers true friends. Time is a good tester.

Don't say that the utilities in your area is now the best until you have GIVEN IT TIME.

Your uncle or Father told You that you are useless and worthless and can't amount to anything, just laugh it away and ask them to GIVE YOU TIME. 

Listen up!

Consistency with time is the true test of Efficiency.

Time is a TESTER.

Time  AUTHENTICATES.

Time is  REVEALS.

TIME IS STILL A MATTER. 

I’m sure you have learnt a lot from this piece, especially how to give it time!
