Patience is hard.

We want healing, results, success, change, peace, happiness, retribution and we want them, NOW!

We have a desire, need, expectation and if things don’t seem to be going our way, we think something has gone wrong: a glitch in the Matrix has occurred, so to speak.

Impatience means we have deemed NOW not good enough, so we’re focused on the so called “better” future to come. The problem is, if we’re always focused on the future, we’ll never experience the now. Therefore, even if the so called “better” future were to arrive, we’ll miss it, because the only time the future can occur, is NOW.

Impatience means we don’t believe that in the macro, everything is in order and working itself out at it’s own pace. We think the Universe needs our individual flesh and bone assistance in order to keep things on track.

What’s the source of our impatience? A lack of trust in life.

When did we stop trusting life? Maybe when we were abused or neglected as children. Maybe once the symptoms of that abuse or neglect became evident. Maybe when our parents, teachers, peers, or society at large taught us to be afraid of life. This is, of course, quite an understandable reaction. Yet, how is not trusting life working for us?

Of course it’s easier to be patient when things are “going our way.” Yet we’re not actually being patient until it’s become increasingly difficult to remain patient. We’re not trusting in life until things are seemingly “not going our way.”

Patience is an active daily PRACTICE: rooted in trust and surrender.

How do we trust again?

Meditate, daily.

Then, look back on your life and notice how when the time was right, although sometimes quite painful, everything has ultimately always worked itself out the way it needed to be. The proof of that lies in the fact that you are here, right now, reading this.

How do we surrender?

Rather than deny, own.

Rather than move against, move with.

Rather than fight, dance.

Love, Wade.
