There's an old phrase that I really love. It is something similar to - you cannot yank on a flower to make it grow much faster.
How extraordinary is that?
Developing true patience must be one of the toughest things in the world. But without patience, we don't give ourselves the opportunity 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 unfinished business we have with somebody or we are simply giving something the space and time to grow and develop. Think about all of your dreams. Oftentimes, our dreams don't actually happen because we aren't yet the person that can truly attain them. In fact , that's almost always true. We are not getting what we want so we will be able to grow into the person we need to be to finally achieve our grandest 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 completely present in the moment while not trying to live forward.
This is hard. Really tough.
Much of the time we would like to make things turn out precisely the way in which we see them in our mind. The big issue with this is that we are attempting to control a place and time that is really uncontrollable. Most often, the future unfolds in totally different strategies than what we were expecting. This is not inevitably a bad thing though. Rather, this is often an absolute present giving us what we truly 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 occur, we make allowances for life to actually surprise us.
Develop some patience. Everything will come to you in the appropriate time.
