It's already happened

There used to be a member of the community who always responded to my greeting of "What's happening Abe?" with a casual "Rabbi I think it's already happened."

Tongue in cheek, but incredibly profound.

I have a friend who once asked for some guidance regarding whether he should propose to his girlfriend of 2 years.

"What's your doubt?"

"I don't know, but I'm not sure..."

My response was simple "Either propose or end it. If she hasn't convinced you yet then she's never going to".

In life we are so often waiting to be inspired, waiting for a sign, waiting for the right time and for the best opportunity.

The best opportunity has probably already happened.
