It
seems like we wait a lot in this life, which can be very frustrating.
We can’t rush waiting and we can’t wait any faster. We can only
wait.
We
wait for phone calls, wait on hold, wait for decisions, and wait for
information.
We
wait in traffic, in checkout lines, and in waiting rooms.
We
wait for people to come or to go. We wait for them to be responsible
and we wait for them to fail. We wait for them to DO something.
We
wait for things to happen, for the weather to change, for an
opportunity, for time to pass, and for that big moment.
Buddhists
believe that waiting and doing are equal and essential parts of
living. Maybe the key is how you manage the two to create balance.
"...but
if we wait until we're ready we'll be waiting for the rest of our
lives. Let's go.” ~Lemony Snicket
Sometimes,
no matter how much you want for things to happen, all you can do is
wait. And usually, waiting is the hardest part.
