Present time
can be hard, but life unfolds as it will and the universe will wait as we make
our way into the unknown.
Our lives are
guided by natural rhythms that are particular to each of us and cannot be
altered by force of will alone. Life itself is a journey made up of processes
and events that manifest before us only to be swept away when time marches on.
Whether we envision ourselves creating a career, building a family, or
developing the self, we instinctively know when the time has come for us to
realize our dreams because all that is involved comes together harmoniously.
When the time is right, the passage of destiny cannot be blocked. Yet as
desperate as we are to touch these beautiful futures we have imagined, we
cannot grow if we are not fully present in the evolutionary experience. The
present can be challenging, uncomfortable, and tedious, but life unfolds as it
will, and the universe will wait patiently as we make our way into the unknown.
The fate that
awaits us is not dependent on our pace, which was preordained before we ever
appeared in human guise. Therefore there is no reason to rush through life to
reach those pinnacles of development associated with the paths we have chosen.
Enjoying and fully experiencing the journey of life is as important as
achieving goals and reaching milestones. There are lessons we can learn during
those moments that seem immaterial or insignificant that we cannot learn at any
other time. Appreciating these takes patience, however, because human beings
tend to focus on the fulfillment of expectations rather than the simple joys of
being.
Like many
people, you have no doubt longed for a device that would give you the power to
fast forward through certain periods of your existence. Yet haste is by its
very nature vastly more stressful than serene fortitude. When you feel yourself
growing impatient because the pace of your development is deceptively slow, remember
that everything that will occur in your life will occur in its own time.
Quelling your urge to rush will enable you to witness yourself learning,
changing, and becoming stronger. There is so much to see and do in between the
events and processes that we deem definitive. If you are patient enough to take
pleasure in your existence's unfolding, the journey from one pinnacle to the
next will seem to take no time at all.
