There's an old saying that I absolutely love. It goes 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 toughest things in the world. But without patience, we really don't give ourselves the 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 truly bring it into our lives. Sometimes there's unfinished business we still have with someone in our life or we are just giving something the space to grow and develop. Think of your dreams. Oftentimes, our dreams don't occur because we aren't yet the person who can actually achieve them. In reality that's practically always true. We are not getting what we want so we will grow into the type of person we really need to be to finally achieve our grandest wishes.
Patience is the key to granting 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 attempting 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 place that's really uncontrollable. Most often, the future unfolds in a completely different set of strategies than what we expected. This is not always a unpleasant thing though. Rather, this can be 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 make allowance for life to actually surprise us.
Develop some patience. Everything will come to you in the best time.
