Waiting for the baggage?

Recently, I was travelling and found myself at the airport. As we landed, the air hostess announced, “Please collect your luggage from baggage belt number 3.”

I stood waiting for my baggage to arrive. As always, true to my nature, I began observing the people around the belt.

Everyone was fixed in place, waiting. Gradually, impatience began to rise. Some started muttering to themselves, “Why is it taking so long? What are they doing?” Others were on their phones saying, “Oh, I’m still waiting for my baggage.” Some grew restless.

When the baggage finally arrived, people rushed to pick up their suitcases — as if they had just won a battle.

While watching all this, a thought arose in me: how impatient we have become in life. No matter how restless or anxious we get, our baggage will arrive only when it’s meant to — not a moment sooner, not a moment later.

Some people’s baggage arrives early, some late. Some may even lose theirs. Life is the same. Impatience or inner chaos doesn’t help; what helps is calm perseverance and faith.

Keep working silently toward your goals. Your “baggage” — your rewards, your answers — will come in its own perfect time. There’s no need to create turmoil within, for that inner chaos only spills out into the world around you.

Have patience. Have faith. Your baggage will arrive when it’s meant to.Stay blessed 🙌🙌
