On a personal finance podcast I listened to, a caller was seeking advice because they were looking for a house and not finding it in the geographical area where they were looking.
As the host asked a few questions, it became apparent that the person had very, very specific things they were looking for in the home, and they were also in a hurry, and the host said, “When you’re looking for something that specific, you can’t be in a rush, you won’t find anything.”
I think it’s a wonderful metaphor for life in general.
Whatever we’re seeking in life, if we have super specific things we’re looking for, they can sort of become limitations, and when you add time pressure to it, that can make it harder to find, even a little stressful to even look.
I think the time issue has two benefits.
One is that the more time we take, the more likely we are to find that very specific thing.
But another benefit is that as more time passes, we may find a wider array of options that we would be very happy with.
