why wait be in the now

We live expecting our destiny to present its self to us. We live waiting. If we find our selves waiting know that we have misunderstood entirely. Just take a look at our day. We wait in line at the coffee shop. We wait for a phone call. We wait for dinner to be served to us. The list could go on and on. What does this waiting feel like? We are impatient. We are in a hurry. We want the universe to sing to our tune. Impatience is nothing but our arrogance. We want it our way and now.

If we let go of this anxiety of having to be instantly served we can relax. We can breath in, breath out and begin to see the miracle of life happening all around us. The unfolding of our path or truth will happen on it's very own time not our time. And not the time that we think it should happen, but the time that it needs to happen. So in the meantime enjoy.

If we want love in our lives we can not wait for it to happen we must become love ourselves and then we will have love in our lives. If we want our dreams to manifest we must be patient and enjoy every detail in the planning and know that it is currently unfolding. It is not enough to just have the desire to make our dreams a reality. We have to be in love with the research. We have to be in love with the relationships we make along the way. We have to be centered in the other. We must enjoy each and every moment and slow down such that we can see the right choices to make. Only then will we have clarity of mind to assist the navigation of the unfolding.

So often we miss out because we are impatience, in a hurry and don't want to be available to talk with someone that we don't know. We are rushing off to go home. We are rushing of to be somewhere else. We want to escape the present moment. We are running. We are avoiding relationships and situations. We are guarding ourselves. Well, where is this somewhere else? Why are we running from the present? Relax into the present and see that we are already living our dreams. If we don't like what we have created for our selves change it. It's up to us.

Next time we find our selves rushing off, relax. Settle into the moment a little deeper. Enjoy the air around and maybe have a glass of water. Change the habit. We'll see that there is no where to go. Where we are is where we need to be.

Impatience is just our arrogance. It's okay we all have it! Drop the arrogance and settle into the gratitude of the given moment. Try it next time in the Starbucks line. Every moment can give pleasure.
