We spend our whole life….waiting.
Waiting is a state of mind.
When you are waiting, it implies that you want the next moment but you don’t want this moment.
That is what waiting is.
When you’re waiting for the traffic light to turn green, waiting for the toast to pop up, waiting in line at the post office, waiting for a wound to heal are all minor moments of anticipation for something other than accepting the present moment.
Those are all pretty short moments of time.
What about the weightier moments of anticipation. Waiting for a new baby to arrive, waiting for a new job, waiting to graduate from school, or waiting for a marriage relationship to heal.
If you find yourself waiting, it means that you want the future. You don’t want the present.
When you are waiting you are devaluing THIS moment. You want the next moment, but you do not want this moment.
Yet, it may never come or when it comes you may not recognize it because you do not appreciate WHAT IS the present moment.
Put an end to waiting.
Why live in such a way and reduce this precious moment to something inferior in my mind.
Appreciate the preciousness of this moment and you’re not waiting anymore.
