Our lives are guided by natural rhythms that are particular to each of us and
cannot be altered by force of will alone. Life itself is a journey made up of
processes and events that manifest before us only to be swept away when time
marches on. Whether we envision ourselves creating a career, building a
family, or developing the self, we instinctively know when the time has come
for us to realize our dreams because all that is involved comes together
harmoniously. When the time is right, the passage of destiny cannot be
blocked. Yet as desperate as we are to touch these beautiful futures we have
imagined, we cannot grow if we are not fully present in the evolutionary
experience. The present can be challenging, uncomfortable, and tedious, but
life unfolds as it will, and the universe will wait patiently as we make our
way into the unknown.
The fate that awaits us is not dependent on our pace, so there is no reason
to rush through life to reach those pinnacles of success associated with the
paths we have chosen. Enjoying and fully experiencing the journey of life is
as important as achieving goals and reaching milestones. There are lessons we
can learn during the moments that seem insignificant that we cannot learn at
any other time. However, appreciating these takes patience because human
beings tend to focus on the fulfillment of expectations, rather than the
simple joys of being.
Like many people, you have no doubt longed for the ability to fast forward
through certain periods of your life. Yet haste is, by its very nature,
vastly more stressful than serene fortitude. When you feel yourself growing
impatient because the pace of your development is deceptively slow, remember
everything that will occur in your life will occur in its own time. Quelling
your urge to rush will enable you to witness yourself learning, changing, and
becoming stronger. There is so much to see and do in between the events that
we deem definitive. If you are patient enough to take pleasure in your life’s
unfolding, the journey from one pinnacle to the next will seem to take no
time at all.
