Time Is The Greatest Happening Of All

Remember the last time something really great happened to you?

How long did you wait in anticipation for that really great thing to happen?

No matter, just think about this for a moment: What would have happened if you had given up on achieving or receiving this really great thing the day before it happened?

I'm reminded of the "unlucky" gardener who planted what he thought would be a bounty of fruit and vegetables but kept going back every other day to dig up the seeds to see if they'd sprouted yet!

What I'm getting at here is the need for patience, which simply means having enough faith in yourself and in the natural course of things in this world to let them work.

If you've been working hard for something, and you've done everything you can to cause it to happen, you've done your part. Now, get out of the way. Let it happen.

Then act surprised when it turns out exactly how you expected.
