Be Late for Something Day

Be Late for Something Day

There are people who are on time or early and then people who are late for everything.

I was taught the adage that Early is on time, On time is late and late is unacceptable.

Today is Be late for something day. I am one of those people who is always early, being late makes me uncomfortable. Lately I have been realizing that just because something starts at a specific time and I can’t make it at that time it’s ok to still show up when I can get there.

There are things that you can’t be late for like work or a function that requires everyone to arrive on time. You must consider and respect other people’s time.  

The whole idea is to not be tied to the clock and time so much. To learn to trust our body clocks instead. Slow down move slowly and steady through your day.

It isn’t necessary a bad thing to run late once in a while. Sometimes we rush around hectic to arrive on time when it’s ok to be late.

The concept of being fashionably late is all about being cool and making an entrance to a captive audience. It’s wrapped up in images of movie stars and world travelers into swanky affairs.

We may not be a movie star of influencer or famous for anything but today is your day to be fashionably late for something. Whether you make an entrance or slide in unseen is up to you.

Show up for something today when the time is right for you.

Take Your Time Be There When You Get There
