God’s Delays Are Not God’s Denials
“God’s delays are not God’s denials.”
I first came across this beautiful line in Tony Robbins’ Awaken the Giant Within.
It stayed with me ever since — not just as a comforting thought, but as a living truth that unfolds in both life and entrepreneurship.
In our fast-paced world, especially as founders or creators, we often expect instant results.
We invest our time, our energy, and our hearts into our ideas, and then naturally, we look for immediate signs of success.
When they don’t appear, doubt creeps in.
We question ourselves, our capabilities, and sometimes, even the worth of our dreams.
I’ve been there.
For the last 5 years, I’ve been building a community organisation with the dream of creating meaningful impact.
But honestly, I wasn’t giving it the full commitment it deserved.
Deep inside, I expected things to fall into place just because the intention was good.
But the universe — or as I call it, GOD — has its own wisdom.
It didn’t deny me the success I was longing for.
It simply delayed it until I was ready.
This year, something shifted.
I made a conscious decision to go all in.
No half measures.
No shortcuts.
Just pure commitment.
And when I did that, something magical started to happen.
People who believe in my vision started showing up.
Opportunities began to align.
The fog of uncertainty slowly cleared.
Momentum built.
It was as if the universe had been waiting all along, just for me to truly commit — to not just dream, but to act.
Here’s the truth:
The universe never denies you your dreams.
It only delays them until you grow into the person who is ready to receive them.
So, to every founder, dreamer, or anyone feeling stuck in life:
Don’t let the delay make you believe in denial.
Focus on becoming the version of yourself who is ready for the success you seek.
Do the work.
Take the actions you’ve been postponing.
And trust that when you are prepared, life will meet you halfway.
Because it always does.
Question to ponder:
What is that one thing you know you need to fully commit to, but have been holding back? Maybe, just maybe, your breakthrough is waiting for you on the other side of that decision.
