I always think and speak about things like this and the many things in life worth waiting for as a running play for a good offense on the football field. It happens fast when it happens, quite suddenly. The team lines up, sometimes shifts around, occasionally someone runs in from the sideline for a quick lineup change. They get very focussed. The quarterback calls out, again perhaps shifting people around. There's the snap. While everyone hopefully applies years of experience and training, and countless practices, workouts, repetitions, knowhow, classes, lessons, self-discipline, self-control, knowledge, playbook, rules,...in 1/4 of a second, everything around the ball is moving. The line presses forward as the fullback charges forward through the line to block a linebacker. At the same time everyone is moving to eliminate problems downfield or on the line to create the environment for the play to succeed. The quarterback deftly hands the ball to the charging half-back who is only a step behind the fullback. Success or failure when half of everything is working against you and half of everything is working for you depends on patience and persistence. The big play  happens in less than 2 seconds.
