Life Works In Mysterious Ways After All
You can’t have it all now. How about just waiting it out for a bit?
Have you ever wanted something real bad, given up on it and then it happened?
It’s not something which happens every single day, but it does happen once in a while. Sometimes, you may not even really want something but then it just pops up and you’re pleasantly surprised.
I met my girlfriend about 1 year and a half ago but it turns out we were in the same school at the same time, with the same group of friends 8 years ago! I didn’t know her but she knew of me and thought I looked scary. (Just thinking about this makes her laugh now since I’m anything but scary.)
Life doesn’t always work out the way you want it to be. Or it may do so, but with so much delay you forget entirely you wanted it in the first place.
Obviously, it’s not that pleasant of a feeling. But realizing and accepting this weird fact allows us to learn patience.
I have come to notice that every single person in my entourage knows the importance of patience but the vast majority of them doesn’t actively work to develop it.
People will usually tell you to be patient but will get cranky because their internet page took more than 5 seconds to load…
