Waiting & Patience
I've started to realize that waiting is an art, that waiting achieves things. Waiting can be very, very powerful. Time is a valuable thing. If you can wait two years, you can sometimes achieve something that you could not achieve today ..... no matter how hard you worked to achieve & accomplish, however much money you threw at it, however many times you banged your head against the wall . . . . no matter what !! --The Courage to Change by Dennis Wholey
The people who are most successful at living and loving are those who can learn to wait successfully. Not many people enjoy waiting or learning & developing patience. Yet, waiting can be a powerful tool that will help us accomplish much good, ...... with much less stress.
We cannot always have what we want when we want it. For different reasons, what we want to do, have, be, or accomplish is not available to us in the now. But there are things we could not do or have today, no matter what, that we can have in the future. Today, we would make ourselves crazy trying to accomplish what will come naturally and with much ease later.
We can trust that all is on schedule. Waiting time is not wasted time. Something is being worked out - in us, in someone else, in the Universe. IN GOD'S PLAN.
We don't have to put our life on hold while we wait. We can direct our attention elsewhere; we can practice acceptance and gratitude in the interim; we can trust that we do have a life to live while we are waiting - then we go about living it.
Deal with your frustration and impatience, but learn how to wait. The old saying, "You can't always get what you want" isn't entirely true. Often, in life, we can get what we want - especially the desires of our heart - if we can learn to wait. We let Hope & Faith carry us forward.
Today, I am willing to learn & develop the art of patience. If I am feeling powerless waiting for something to happen that I am not in control of, I will focus on the power available to me that teaches me to learn to wait.
