Bird

The early bird gets the worm.

There's a lot to unpack there.  The early bird gets the worm...sometimes, might be a better way to think about this.  There's only so much in your control and then the rest is just being patient.  The early bird is in position because it's early.  The worm so to speak isn't always early though.  The "early bird" is just prepared for what is important, "the worm".

The rest is just patience.  There's so much you can't do.  Recognizing that leads to patience.  Perhaps a better example is catching a train.  Getting to the station is only partly in your control.  Once you get to the platform the train will come when it comes.  The best you can do is be there and wait.

This phrase is about knowing what's important.  However, it is more about being patient, I think.  The "worm" will comes when it comes.  The waiting with confidence is the hard part.  This leads to the "worm" every time.

Taher, be the early bird.
