PATIENCE

I like to see results.  When I don’t see them right away I can become disappointed and frustrated.  Immediate gratification is certainly desirable but frequently unattainable.  There are days when I feel like a little child stomping my feet and saying NOW.  It is very difficult to accept remain hopeful and expectant. 

Today I would like to cultivate patience to allow things to unfold in their own time.  Waiting for outcomes requires trust, tolerance, perseverance, and a belief in myself and others.  At times I may never see the fruit that comes from my words and actions, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.  I will remind myself that the small seed I plant today has the potential of flowering into something beautiful . I intend to drop the seeds and trust in my higher power to nurture them, knowing I am not responsible for the growth that follows.  I will have gratitude when I see results, recognizing that I may be rejoicing in someone else’s sowing and trusting that someone else may rejoice in my planting.
