願事

叶うが遅し

kanau ga ososhi / かなうがおそしGranted, but late

Meaning

The wish does come true, but it takes time to get there. Here the weight falls on the delay, so the phrase asks you to allow more time than you first planned and not to mistake slowness for failure.

What to do today

If you set yourself a deadline for this wish, move it back a little.

A word from the capybara

A parcel that arrives late still arrives.
