Why Wait?
How many times today have you found yourself waiting? Do you know someone who always has you waiting for them? We wait for things to get better, for interest rates to go down, for people to change. We put off doing things while waiting for better weather, better health, or until we have more energy or more money. We wait to be happy, we wait to start on that new business.
We think to ourselves “I will start after the holiday when all this craziness is over. I will wait until I feel better later, after I get my house cleaned up. I will wait until I am alone before I can truly relax. I will wait for my children to get back on their feet before I do anything else with the rest of my life”
(I would like a new wardrobe but I am waiting until I loose a few dress sizes and then I will wait until I have enough money.)
Waiting is a trap that can steal our lives, our time and the moments away from us when we could have been feeling joy, love or appreciation. Waiting stops us in our tracks when we should be creating something in our lives. If we are always waiting, when shall we live? When shall we be happy and relaxed? When shall we do something if we are waiting for the right condition or situation?
(Suddenly the phone rings. It is a friend of mine. She puts me on hold. Here I am again, waiting.)
