Wrong Place – Right Time

I've never heard anyone say, “I was at the wrong place at the right time.” It got me to wondering if this location scenario exists. I believe it does.

Suppose you were at a 7-11 when it was being robbed. Luckily, you weren't hurt, but you did manage to purchase a winning lottery ticket while there. Seems that would qualify as “Wrong Place – Right Time.”

I don’t think there is a shortage of wrong places to be. We’ve all been in them on many occasions. 

My realization is this: We’re always in the right place whether we label it “wrong” or not. Think about it. Where you are right now is the only place you can be. Yes, there are other places you could have been had you made different choices, but the choices you made brought you this place. It’s the only place you can be right now. And reality shows us that the only time there is, is “right now.” So now is always the right time.

Wrong doesn’t exist in reality – only in the man-made rules of math.

Fact: you can only be where you are right now. You can lament that it’s the wrong place to be and you can cite all the wrong choices you made or the wrong set of circumstances that got you here, but that’s only useful when writing the story of your life after the fact.

Your job right now is to get yourself right regardless of the place you find yourself. You know what needs to be done. You’ve known it for a long time. This may be your last chance.

Getting right is your only chance of getting out of a wrong place. 

Your best chance for staying wronged is to stand on a soapbox and argue that you shouldn’t be there. That'll just attract a group of wrong minded people who will agree with you and vote for you. Your prize? You become the lifetime mayor of “Wrongedville.”

Getting right is your ship out of town. Right now is the only time to get on board and your passage requires leaving your wrongs behind.

Citing past circumstances will always take you back to harboring wrong. Getting right is noticing where you actually are now and setting sail in another direction.

Hanging on to wrong will always produce a noose. The way to loosen its hold is to right your ship and leave wrong in your wake, and discover that now is always the right time to leave a wrong place.

All the best,

John
