Patience

Patience is a skill I must practice. It is one thing that still dogs me, from time to time, especially in life’s most inspiring moments. It is what some Native Americans would call my coyote medicine, the trickster in my life causing me to take missteps. I know it doesn’t have to take 3 years to make my business successful, if I could do it all alone. But because I’m dependent on others and other forces right now, I must be patient. I must not act to remove structures that, while sometimes unpleasant, support me. I must not throw caution to the wind.

I must heed this feeling I have that is telling me, “You’ll get there when you get there.” I will work for a living as I work toward my passion. And, I will find joy in it the best I can. Where I find myself is perfect right now. Where I will find myself on 9/30/16, on 10/1/16, and on 10/1/17 will be perfect too. I cannot rush the master plan God has for me. For it to unfold joyfully, I must work toward my vision and enjoy each step along the way, without judging them critically. In this way, my soul will be healed. In this way, I will not create struggle. In this way, life is good.
