Hurry up and wait!
Do you feel like you are always waiting for something? I do. All the time! I am not sure why I feel this way but seems like something important is about to happen, and when it does - That’s IT! It’s all over - no more waiting!
Now we know that is not true - we wait for things to happen all the time, and then there’s more waiting after that! We wait for the weekend, for a party, for a holiday, for the next pay day, for that great lottery win, for the cows to come home!
I get tired of waiting too. I guess saying is - stop waiting for things to happen! MAKE them happen! We why do we have to do that? Things will just happen anyway - right?
I also have a hard time waiting for other people to get my task done. You know, sometimes you have something to do and it would be done already - if that person you rely one would just do the part they are supposed to. I guess I am a bit impatient here - not very calm when my task depends on others.
Patience is definately a learned task. People are not born with it - and it can take years to master. We all have to rely on the “waiting machine” with everything we do. We wait for the light to change, (now I have seen some VERY impatient people at lights!) we wait for service in restaurants, we wait in lines sometimes just to go to the bathroom.
Then - when we tire from waiting - we wish! Ah- now that’s where we get into a great deal of trouble! We wish they would all hurry up!
As my mom used to say - “Your going to wish your life away!” Maybe I should just be comfortable waiting…
