Day 24 "In Wait"

Waiting.

Everything worth having requires this act of patience.

There is no lasting reward for the impatient, as there is no guarantee to the ones that wait either.

We control the act and not the outcome.

You may wait on a feeling, on fear, on desire, on memories, on instinct; you may wait on faith alone.

You may wait when hope is almost gone, and wait even a moment longer even when it is.

For as long as there is an honest thread connecting you to something emotionally compelling, something spiritually involving, some reason worth fighting for; you will wait it out without fail...even in exhaustion and emptiness.

Wait it out.

There are moments that scream for action, something big, something scary… something worth taking a chance on; and even in these moments we can hesitate, we can wait and we can drag it out.

One can wait for anything, for anywhere and for anyone.

One can wait for a simple answer that they require to be complicated, another can wait for the easy road to reveal itself when the right path is one riddled with obstacles and pitfalls.

Both time and desire have joined together to shed but some faint light on the road ahead, a possibility? A beautiful possibility.

I will wait on a possibility, if only for a moment longer.

One can only hope that they are rewarded for their patience, with a true vision of their wanted path, with some confirmation that this has not been a waste of time at all.

But even though waiting is necessary for anyone to achieve anything worth keeping, there is also a need for action, and sometimes even blind action; an action based on both blind faith and a blind hope is demanded.

It is needed to set right the footsteps on a strange fork in the road, and sometimes we just need to say the words that our hearts tell us to say, and embrace the things that our minds fear to break.

Never consider waiting on anything longer than your heart wills you to.

If it is a dedicated desire, a wanted dream or an achievable future; then waiting can be considered the most honorable thing that one can do, and it can be a show of strength through patience.

What we wait for is a solitary question.

How long we wait for it is our decision.

Whether we actually stop waiting for it is out of our hands, and it is up to our hearts alone.
