There's an old phrase that I really love. It goes something like - you can't yank on a flower to make it grow much faster.
How incredible is that?
Developing true patience must be one of the most challenging things to have. But without patience, we don't give ourselves the real opportunity to see things fully through. Additionally, there are several things in this world that call for our patience and will only develop when we really bring it into our lives. Perhaps there's incomplete business we still have with somebody or we are simply giving something the space to grow and develop. Think of your dreams. Oftentimes, our dreams don't happen as we aren't yet the person who can really achieve them. Actually that's practically always true. We are not getting what we'd like so we will grow into the type of person we need to be to finally accomplish our biggest wishes.
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 instant while not trying to live forward.
This is hard. Very hard.
Most of the time we want to make things turn out precisely the way in which we see them in our mind. The only difficulty with this is that we are attempting to control a place that really is truly wild and free. Oftentimes, the future unfolds in a completely different set of strategies than what we expected it to be. This is not always a bad thing though. Rather, this is often an absolute and real gift giving us what we actually 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, we make allowances for life to truly surprise us.
Develop some patience. Everything will come to you in the best time.
