JIMTY
Have you ever heard stories about someone who rises from seeming obscurity and as an opportunity is presented they make the most of it and all of a sudden a star is realized.
At times these stories, especially of people I knew, had caused me to think :
- what if "stardom" is only available to a few
- why am I forgotten
- how did things happen to them just out of nowhere
and This is the revelation I arrived at:
As for them THEY were always a star, it's just that the world never noticed. All this time they were already shining, not dimmed by failure, not extinguished by the lack of opportunity.... but simply covered by the cloak of JIMTY (Just Isn't My Time Yet)
As for us, let this be an encouragement to put in the work and Be a Star even when the world doesn't notice you, even when you fail, get buffeted and you feel like nothing is happening. Shine under the cloak of life and consider that perhaps it just..... isn't..... your..... time.... YET
