Patience
When you open this book here, the message is very simple. You need to have patience. Patience is an art form. It is the ability to stay in the present. To wait for what you want in a state of acceptance, trust and belief. Accepting that there is a time schedule that you are not in control of, often with no certainty of the outcome. Patience reminds us of our humanity. Just be with everything exactly as it is now. You don't have to do anything.
Patience has a lot of similarities to trust, except here we are focusing on timing and process, rather than on reassurance about the outcome. How patient are you? How easy do you find it to allow your feelings and events to unfold at their own natural pace? How good are you at being in the present? For the moment, just focus on right now, not the future.
When we force events we can easily damage the end result. A good loaf needs time for the dough ro rise, a butterfly needs to go through the process of being a caterpillar and a chrysalis. Without patience for toher people's timing and process, as well as our own, we push forward towards our goal but we miss the pleasure and benefits of the journey. We don't allow the foundations to set before we expect them to carry the weight of the building.
Slow down. Accept that things are how they are, each of you is who you are. You're meant to be exactly where you are right now. Whether it's financially, geographically, emotionally or attitudinally. If you have a goal, then make a plan and act upon it, but ensure that you allow the appropriate time necessary. If it unfolds at a different pace or things are not where you want them to be - have patience.
Discover and learn the lesson of being in the present. Patience pays.
