" watch the short video version of this story below "
Aarav had an old wristwatch.
It always ran slow. Sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 10 minutes behind.
Aarav would get irritated every day and wonder:
"Why doesn't this watch ever run correctly?"
One day, while leaving for school, the watch delayed his time again.
He was walking slowly down the road, annoyed.
He felt he would be late and the teacher would scold him.
But as Aarav reached the corner, he saw—
There had been a major accident on the road ahead.
The same road where Aarav used to be at the right time every day.
His breath stopped.
If his watch hadn't been slow...
If he'd driven a little faster...
then perhaps he too could have been involved in this accident.
Aarav looked at his old watch.
The watch he used to blame daily—
today, that very delay saved his destiny.
Sometimes in life, slow progress, late timing, and delays don't make sense.
It feels like things aren't working.
But perhaps the universe is keeping you away from a bigger problem.
⭐ Final Thought
Not every slow moment is a punishment.
Sometimes, going slow... stopping...
saves you from a bigger problem.
Trust your timing
Nothing is late - everything is protection
