There's an old phrase that I love. It goes something like - you can not yank on a flower to make it grow faster.
How amazing is that?
Developing true patience must be one of the hardest things to have. But without patience, we really don't give ourselves the real opportunity to see things all the way through. Furthermore, there are many things in this world that call for our patience and will only develop when we actually bring it into our lives. Perhaps there's unfinished business we have with somebody or we are simply giving something the time and space to grow and develop. Think about your dreams. Most of the time, our dreams don't actually happen because we truly aren't yet the individual that can really accomplish them. In reality that's almost always true. We don't get what we want so we can grow into the person we really need to be to accomplish our greatest dreams.
Patience is the key to granting our future to unfold in front of us without our projections onto it. Patience, is the power to stay utterly present in the time given to us while not trying to live forward.
This is hard. Really tough.
Much of the time we want to make things turn out precisely the way in which we see them in our mind. The only issue with this is that we are attempting to control a place and time that is really uncontrollable. Oftentimes, the future unfolds in a completely different set of methods than what we expected. This isn't always always a unpleasant thing though. Rather, this is often a decisive and real gift giving us what we truly required instead of what we wanted. Wouldn't you rather just live in that place - a place of complete possibility and opportunity?
When we let go of what we think should happen in our lives we allow for life to truly surprise us.
Develop some patience. Everything will come to you in the appropriate time.
