Life isn’t like straight-line growth; it’s more like a Poisson process. Most of the time is spent waiting, and only a small portion is filled with jumps. Calm isn’t stagnation—it’s accumulation. Opportunities aren’t planned into existence; they’re noticed when you’re fully prepared. You can’t decide when the next opportunity will appear, but you can decide where you stand when it does. After every leap, you enter a new waiting cycle. Your real ability in life isn’t creating miracles; it’s continuing to grow through long stretches of calm until the next probability is on your side.
