In our lifetime, surprises [and shocks] surface very few and far in between. Otherwise, a big chunk of what's unfolding right in our very nose either evolved over time, retrogressed, decayed, withered as part of the natural process. Yet, frustratingly, many of us seem shell-shocked when something gets detonated, blasted and bombs out right in our faces.
What can explain this perplexing circumstances? Simply put, either we don't see it OR we refuse to see it at all. Worst, you happen to see it but you take things in stride, discounting the probabilities of what is evolving and shaping up.
Oh, please don't take things literally. Those handwriting on the wall may not be handwriting. Instead, it could be cracks on the wall, it could be fissures. And those cracks that keep widening, deepening or extending could be our relationship itself. Our relationship with our spouse, our partner or even our boss at work. When the warmth interaction turns icy cold, never ignore it. It won't do a U-turn. Instead, that could go on and on. So, where's the beef?
Once you see things skidding, arrest that skid because it will never turnaround by itself. Based on the principles of motion, at the very least, it will go on and on and if those are cracks in your relationship, such relationship will deteriorate like quicksilver running through your fingers.
On a bright sunny day, the handwriting on the wall may seem colorful, bright and bouncy. When you have it, grab it, that may lead you to opportunities that will lead you to a beach head that leads you towards a breakthrough. You gotta have the gumption be aggressive and grab the bull by its horns. Who knows you are approaching the precipice of what success.
As the late American politician Adlai Stevenson blurted out in one of his campaign runs, 'Man is a strange animal. He generally cannot read the handwriting on the wall until his back is up against it'.
