Are you facing a difficult time in your life? Do you feel like a fish out of water? If today was a fish, would you want to throw it back in
river? If this is your situation, make no negative destructive decisions. Be Patient. Know that time can perform many miracles.Quicker Than A New York Minute!
Yeah, I wish. But, unfortunately every time I have moved that fast it went from riches to rags. Truly, patience is one of major ingredients that lead to consistent success. You must develop patience if you are ever going to be successful in dealing with life's problems.
Patience is not a popular subject for our, "I want it now" microwave society. Patience conjures up all kinds of thoughts like, "I might not get it"; "It might take too long"; "I might forget it", even worse. Ah, but patience is a major factor in making our dreams come true.
As I have given patience a lot of thought in my own life, here is what I have discovered. See if this pattern seems familiar to you.
*Sometimes I get what I want right away. *Sometimes I get what I want days, weeks, months, and sometime years later. *Sometimes I don't get what I want but what I really needed, much later. *Sometimes I don't get what I wanted, or what I needed, but got what was best for me, much later.
Rome Wasn't Built In A Day!
Well, every time I get what I want right away, I'm just a little taken back by it. I always seem to "expect" to wait for some period of time. It just seems to be way universe deals with us. When something comes right away, we forget that triumph very fast and are on to next deal.
The absolute optimum way to live would to be able to control timing of every thing that happens to us. But, we can't. On other side of coin, if every thing were to just fall on us like ripe apples off a tree, we would be running all over town trying to avoid being knocked out by all falling apples.
You've heard it said before, "God's delays are not God's denials". I believe that's true. Patience has character building power within it. Patience takes impossibilities of life and turns them into realities. Patience can also make you feel like taking a long walk off a short pier sometimes.
Waiting Always Lasts Too Long!
That's part of patience I want to help give you a different perspective on. Patience was designed to help us grow; to help us develop compassion and empathy, and make us strong. Not, to tear us down, to destroy our dreams, or make us wonder if our goals and objectives will ever be realized.
If you look at patience like this it might help: It was not meant to make life hard on you. Of course life is hard, that's why they pay you big bucks. :>) Patience is part of our lives because God's timing is always better than ours. Now think about it. If you had your way, how many times would you choose to wait for something you really wanted or needed?
Your timing would always be, "I want it now"! And, if it was something that's not desirable, your timing would be to wait, and wait, and wait. So, universe comes on scene and says, "Wait, you're moving too fast". And we say, "No I'm not, you are moving too slowly".
