“Waiting is not mere empty hoping. It has the inner certainty of reaching the goal.” – I.Ching
After month’s end work and deadlines, just love to rest the whole day. After all, I deserve it!
But even I got those feeling of getting sick, I still woke-up early to anticipate 1st day of December. The wait is over as my countdown begins for Christmas. After all, this is my fave celebration of the year – wondrous displays all over the place. family/ friends get-together and most especially gift giving.
When October month arrived this year 2010, I was already impatient then that I have to wait for almost three months just for the d-day, the birth of our Lord. Then I realize, wait is a virtue just like patience as this is part of our everyday’s lives.
To recall, we wait for our childhood to adulthood, from our graduation to our first taste of success with our career, having a family as we nurture it day by day.
But do we sometimes refuse wait?
- When we were drastic with our decisions we made and blindly we think of ourselves
- When we find shortcuts to our lives as we are irresponsible enough to know the consequences and we only think instant pleasures
Definitely, we lost the virtue of waiting.
Time is the essence of waiting as we give ourselves time to grow. We can never force any undertakings to love or respect us except through test of time. So we cannot remove waiting from our lives.
From then, we can learn to conquer our mistakes as we challenge ourselves to dive deep our life meaning. We just have to accept it – we live with it and endure the fundamental nature of waiting.
