Timelines are unrealistic. Life doesn’t happen on the timeline we want. Life has a funny way of doing the exact opposite. Our decisions and frequencies play a role in our timeline, but nothing prevails over divine order. We are not in control, even when we think we are. When we try to control our life based on what’s next, we put ourselves at risk.
For example, by the time I turned 30… “I thought” I was supposed to be married, have kids, and be at my dream job. None of that happen. If I would have forced the timeline I predicted, I would have been unhappy. Instead, divine order was like “look sis…work on yourself, love yourself, be happy, travel the world, let life come to you”. And to think, I almost risked everything trying to follow my own unrealistic timeline.
Timelines are unrealistic deadlines for life accomplishments. There is no certain age to get married. There is no certain age to have kids. No age to buy a house or even go to college. Timelines are projections of what others want from us. Or timelines can reflect stressors we place on ourselves. We should be operating from divine order, not an unrealistic timeline. Everyone is on their own journey. On that journey, we must respect/trust our own process.
Learning from experience, timelines have caused me unnecessary stress. Continuing the conversation below, was there ever a moment you began to flow with life and stopped following a timeline?
Until Next Time,
