Only bad things happen quickly

Bad things often happen instantaneously and without us even anticipating it.  It comes out of nowhere and hits us with a bang!  Usually, to make matters worse, bad things are known to happen in three's, as if one wasn't enough!

It's the good things in life that take time to accumulate and take longer to happen.  We sit around waiting patiently for the good things in life to eventually grace us with its presence.  But by merely sitting, waiting, wishing for these wonderful things to happen, aren't we missing out on everything happening in-between?

Whether good or bad, sitting around waiting is virtually the same as being stuck in limbo.  You are just going with the motions, watching things pass you by - things that could have had a significant importance to you.

So although the bad things in life tend to happen quickly, and the good things require tedious waiting and anticipation, do not let "life" pass you by.  Enjoy every moment and don't take anything for granted!
