There's an old truism that I really love. It is something like - you can not yank on a flower to make it grow quicker.
How extraordinary is that?
Developing true patience must be one of the hardest things in the world. But without patience, we don't give ourselves the chance to see things all the way through. Additionally, there are several things in this world that call for our patience and will only develop when we actually bring it into our lives. Sometimes there's unfinished business we still have with somebody or we are giving something the space to grow and develop. Think about all of your dreams. Often, our dreams don't actually happen because we aren't yet the person who can actually attain them. In reality that's almost always true. We are not getting what we need so we will be able to grow into the person we really need to be to accomplish our grandest dreams.
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 hard.
A great deal of the time we wish to make things turn out precisely the way in which we see them in our mind. The real difficulty with this is that we are endeavoring to control a time and place that's actually wild. Oftentimes, the future unfolds in totally different ways than what we expected. This isn't always always a unpleasant thing though. Rather, this is an absolute gift giving us what we really needed in our lives 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 make allowances for life to actually surprise us.
Develop some patience. Everything will come to you in the right time.
