THE WAIT

Sometimes, when we set something in motion, we have to expect to need to wait for the outcome. A day, a week, a month, or years. Whatever the time frame, patience is required.

During the wait, we still need to go about our daily lives. Getting up and living life as we knew it up until this point. Making breakfast. Doing our jobs. Taking care of our families. But also, making sure we don’t get carried away by the possibilities of the outcome – whether good or bad.

Certainly, it is easier to fantasize about a better future than to learn to appreciate what we have been given thus far. But what we have at this moment is everything we needed to get to this point. What we are waiting for is a possible enhancement to our lives. But everything we need, we get when the timing is right for our lives.

Sometimes, when we set something in motion, we need to trust the process. The wait. The decision. The outcome. Whatever the outcome, we need to move forward and learn to accept it.

As we grasp hold of the decisions before us, we make changes to our daily lives. Living now a different life with new possibilities or chances not granted. Whatever the outcome, gratefulness is key.
