I feel like there's two forms of waiting.
- Passively waiting for something to happen to us or for us.
- Actively waiting for something to happen and putting forth effort to prepare for the next step.
When I take a vacation, I'm not waiting for it to be over or waiting to relax. I make a point of getting myself prepared in mindset ahead of time to best use that time for reflection on where I want to go next in life. By doing so, I often find myself being offered opportunities for growth through the people I meet or the opportunities that arise as a result of intentional mental action, even in a time when some may say that would be otherwise unproductive or wasted.
I used to be a very impatient person. I find this philosophy helps me to become more patient over time as well, by accepting the process of waiting for others and filling it with things that are a blessing to me.
Thanks @abimbola753 for taking the time to read and for your comment. I love to hear the perspective of others, because it helps me to more clearly define my own perspective while opening up to a whole world of possibilities!
Much love and hope you and your people are well!
