The Waiting Period

Waiting can sometimes cause you to feel like your life is at a standstill and it takes a great amount of patience to be still, especially when there is a great amount of uncertainty. Life can sometimes bring us to a place where our next step is unsure. In these moments, try not to worry. That may prove challenging for those who have never had to wait, but sometimes we move ahead of time, only to make mistake after mistake. Consider me for an example. I've moved ahead of myself plenty of times out of fear and the unwillingness to trust a plan in which I had no part in planning. I can attest that some things are just worth waiting for. How many times have you wanted to be in a relationship and ended up settling with someone out of loneliness? Or taken a job because you didn't want to take the chance of waiting for the one that you truly wanted to come through?
I'm sure we all can say yes to one or the other with settled relationships leading the pack. This is the ultimate no, no, being that large amounts of time usually ends up getting wasted, prolonging that inevitable waiting period for the right one. 

If you are currently experiencing this kind of waiting period within your life, trust in plan that goes beyond your understanding. Continue to live your life, the best way that you know how, and be patient. We're taught this at a young age but society has spoiled us out of this way of thinking. Patience is a strength that builds character. And sadly, character building isn't something that's sought as often as it should. Money can only take you so far. Have you ever encountered a rich man, with pour taste in life choices? The media often enjoys lifting them up and embarrassingly thrashing them publically at the slightest indiscretion. Or a wealthy woman whose class and dignity amounts to vapors? Work on your character. So why not start with patience?
