There's an old truism that I absolutely love. It says something like - you cannot yank on a flower to make it grow faster.
How amazing is that?
Developing true patience must be one of the toughest things to really develop. But without patience, we really don't give ourselves the chance to see things totally through. Additionally, there are many things in this world that call for our patience and will only develop when we really bring it into our lives. Sometimes there's half finished business we have with somebody or we are simply giving something the time and space to grow and develop. Think about your dreams. Often, our dreams don't actually happen because we truly aren't yet the person who can really accomplish them. Actually that's almost always so. We are not getting what we need so we can grow into the type of person we absolutely need to be to accomplish our grandest dreams.
Patience is the key to permitting our future to unfold in front of us without our projections onto it. Patience, is the ability to stay utterly present in the instant while not trying to live forward.
This is hard. Really tough.
A great deal of the time we would like to make things turn out precisely the way in which we see them in our mind. The real issue with this is that we are trying to control a place that is really wild. Most often, the future unfolds in completely different strategies than what we expected it to be. This isn't inevitably a bad thing though. Rather, this is often a unreserved present giving us what we really needed 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 occur, we allow for life to actually surprise us.
Develop some patience. Everything will come to you in the right time.
