Day 50 "Waiting Or Wasting?"

Waiting.

Everyone has to wait for something, or for someone, and sometimes we must wait for even ourselves.

The importance of what we wait for is what matters most.

Are we waiting for something that will change the course of our lives?

Something or someone that will either darken or bring our lives light?

Are we waiting for something that we do not need to wait for, because it is only our own fear that makes us wait? And if we did not succumb to fear, if we held fear to the ground longer than a few simple breathes, would we see that what we are waiting for cannot ever make the date and time we set to meet up?

There is lessons to be learned in the act of waiting, lessons of patience and meditation, lessons in both planning and resolve.

There is also great faults in waiting.

For some, we wait for life to show us all the signs, to open every door, to erase all of our pain and to bring us back a cherished and desired memory; but life does not guarantee the success in every desire, it does not simply give us every answer and erase all of our inner pain, nor does it defeat all of our demons for us. Waiting for life to bring you happiness and clarity is burdening life with unreasonable expectations.

Sometimes it is not about waiting, it is about action, and it is about pushing yourself beyond fear, to claim what is yours and to meet life halfway.

Sometimes waiting is wasting.

Sometimes you have to be honest with yourself and look within, and ask “Am I waiting for happiness and life to arrive”

And when you ask honestly, when you accept the answers that you fear, you will hear the answer and action you must take.

I will wait no longer.
