There's an old phrase that I love. It goes something similar to - you can not yank on a flower to make it grow quicker.
How incredible is that?
Developing true patience must be one of the most challenging things to really develop. But without patience, we do not give ourselves the opportunity to see things all the way through. Similarly, there are several things in this world that call for our patience and will only develop when we truly bring it into our lives. Perhaps there's unfinished business we still have with someone in our life or we are giving something the space and time to grow and develop. Think about all of your dreams. Often, our dreams don't actually happen because we truly aren't yet the person who can actually achieve them. In reality that's practically always the case. We don't get what we need so we will grow into the type of person we need to be to finally achieve our greatest desires.
Patience is the key to allowing our future to unfold in front of us without our projections onto it. Patience, is the facility to stay utterly present in the instant without trying to live forward.
This is hard. Really tough.
Most of the time we want to make things turn out precisely in the way in which we see them in our mind. The big problem with this is that we are trying to control a time and place that is really uncontrollable. Oftentimes, the future unfolds in completely different methods than what we expected it to be. This isn't necessarily a horrible thing though. Rather, this can be a unreserved present giving us what we truly 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 happen, we allow for life to really surprise us.
Develop some patience. Everything will come to you in the right time.
