writingdate: Timing is power.

We are taught to admire action…the one who moves quickly, who seizes opportunities, who never hesitates. But history teaches another lesson: that timing is as important as action itself. The right move at the wrong time is the wrong move. The leader who strikes too soon loses position. The one who waits too long misses the window. Power lives in precision.

Great strategists have always understood this. Generals who allowed enemies to exhaust themselves before advancing. Investors who held cash while others rushed blindly into the market. Leaders who let a silence stretch just long enough to make their next word unforgettable. Patience, applied with precision, is not passivity…it is dominance.

Impatience, on the other hand, is costly. It drains resources, reveals desperation, and leads to errors that cannot be undone. Those who cannot wait are easily manipulated, easily provoked, easily broken. Those who master timing unsettle everyone around them. Their restraint creates uncertainty, while their sudden movements carry shock and weight.

To master timing, one must master the self. It requires resisting the urge to prove, to force, to hurry. It requires confidence that the opportunity will present itself again…and when it does, you will be ready. It is the discipline of stillness combined with the courage of decisive action.

Power is not only about what you do. It is about when you do it. And when you learn to align action with the right moment, you move with a force that feels inevitable.

Your coach,
