Gaining and maintaining

Patience is a virtue sorely lacking in this day and age. Haste will make waste of the best of intentions. It is the difference between careful and careless.

Those who rush through life tend to miss the good parts. A moment lost is a cause for regret. For in that brief space, much good could have been done.

It is not in the quantity but in the quality where time finds its value. Days might pass by uneventfully. However, everything can change in an instant.

The ones who have it all, are not appreciative. So, it is not at all surprising that so much is withheld. Thus, we learn to be grateful for what we have.

To wait is a blessing not a burden. Give what was planted the chance to take root. Only then, will it grow into a hardy plant that will bear much fruit.

Do not get too far ahead of yourself. Otherwise, you might wind up in over your head. It is not what we gain, but rather what we are able to maintain.

  1. Weird. I usually rush to meet the bad parts. I always saw patience is a virtue when you have no choice. But if you can sprint to the goal, just do it!

    1. The shortest distance between two points is indeed a straight line. But reality is not so accommodating. Through patience and perseverance, the goal can be reached.

  2. I maintain there is only the here and now, so I would say make your focus based on what you can do now. Goals can be achieved but not so easily by waiting or rushing.

    1. When you have done all you can, then it is time to rest. Do not obsess over things you cannot do anything about. Be patient and you will see the fruits of your labors.
