Why is it that everyone is always in a hurry for things to happen? I have always been in a rush for the good things to happen but when it finally happened, I had totally missed the journey of getting there.
In the last few years, I have learned to be a little more patient, but admittedly, I still struggle with having patience. I have always wanted things to happen instantaneously....losing weight was always a big one...I wanted to lose 20 pounds in the first week of dieting but I didn't want to put forth the work. I soon found out that if I wanted it to happen, I had to slowly change the way I eat, add exercise and be patient. Eventually the weight did come off but it happened slowly and steadily. A good philosophy to have in many avenues of life.
Many people try to rush love...love cannot be rushed. You can't just make it happen. It has to build up slowly over time and there has to be chemistry, a mental connection that leaves you wanting more of that person. It makes you happy with a constant smile on your face. And even though you have just met them, you wonder how you have survived your whole life without them. You get totally infatuated with the person and want to spend every waking moment with them. You put your life, and everyone in it, on the back burner just to make yourself available for this person. You would do anything to make them attracted to you. You have been waiting your whole life for this person and you want to make up for lost time. You are in hurry to have the perfect life...you forget that while you are waiting for this glorious bliss, real life is happening all around you. Take your time and let it happen the way it was meant to. When the time is right, it will happen. In the mean time, take a breath, anticipate your next encounter, and enjoy the journey...
