it's just around the corner

"it's just around the corner" is an English idiom. if something is "just around the corner", then it is expected to happen very soon.

whether we are climbing a mountain, studying for a degree or working hard for a promotion, we are always holding our breath in anticipation of what's around the corner. we expect a spectacular sunrise as we turn the corner and we reach the peak, we expect a first class honours and being on the Dean's List and we expect a double promotion and a huge office with a view. sometimes we get what we hoped for, sometimes we get bitterly disappointed and sometimes one corner leads to another corner.

corners are great because there's always something around the corner. always. what's not great is when we give up and sit down at the corner because we are fearful of what we might see.

2017 is just around the corner. what will the new year bring? was 2016 a bad year and you just don't care about what's around the corner? do you feel like just giving up and sit down and cry? don't feel bad if you haven't achieved your resolutions because 2017 is just around the corner. #alwaysbelieve

"You never know what's around the corner. It could be everything. Or it could be nothing. You keep putting one foot in front of the other, and then one day you look back and you've climbed a mountain." Tom Hiddleston, actor
