Do You Believe In The Saying "All Things In Time"?

[OneEyedDiva]

If so, please give example(s). If not, perhaps you can say why.
One example that readily comes to mind is for years, we went to a park that had a water sprout in it's pond because I love being near water. When my husband couldn't drive, sometimes I'd take the train there. I finally found out (don't remember how) that if I took the train to the last stop in Hoboken, N.J., I would be at it's waterfront park that is on the Hudson river. Sometimes I think...gee..I could've been going there all that time. I've been going there for years now, mostly by train, which is a nice outing. I get my exercise in by walking the promenade and putting in a couple of miles. Hopefully I'll be able to enjoy it for many more years.

I've never heard that saying, Diva...

I always interpreted the phrase to mean if you are patient and diligent things will work out.

But I don't believe that to be true, sometimes life just doesn't swing your way.

 

[Paladin1950]

Never heard of it.

 

[VintageBetter]

Only applies to death, IMO.

Maybe a variant of:

“Good things come to those who wait” is an English proverb. It’s used to describe the benefits of waiting patiently rather than rushing into something.

I understand this to mean things will appear when they are meant to appear, within their own time, when they are "ripe", and all the conditions are met, the event or phenomena will "be". It now has existence in it's current form. We can not push or hurry for example mother nature, or the maturing of flowers and when they bloom. Life is full of surprises when we can see this happening around us. New things are appearing all the time, just at the "right" moment.

When growing up, it was usually phrased, "All in good time"; same meaning I think.

I think the saying "

All Things In Time​

is valid.

What those things are [good or bad] is the unknown until they happen.

 

[Remy]

I've heard it. Don't believe in it.

I too like to be around water. Not that I get there.

Patience is overrated, I think. So much time passes and ? What about the saying Fortune Favors the Brave? I resonate more with this one so will follow it. What do you think? I guess it's a matter of which saying appeals to your personality.
