Waiting

It wastes a lot – time, effort, hope and there’s nothing you can do. You realize you’re stuck where you are and you strain yourself trying to catch a glimpse of whatever ‘that’ is. You try to move in your own little space, trying to dispense that energy building up inside you. But, you’re mind is still focused on ‘that’ and you know, disappointingly, that you are where you are – not where you want.

The thought of where you are supposed to be somehow bothers you. Yet, you accept the fate that is before you – there’s no point in resisting. You stop looking ahead and stare at what’s around. You look at what’s in front of you, it’s beautiful. You soak in the details of every nook and cranny. Where you are is not so bad after all. Then you’re mind wanders to things past and suddenly, you’re jolted about stuff - a thing to do, a lesson forgotten, a moment enjoyed.

Waiting.

It’s really all just about perspective. The season of waiting is something that can either break us or make us. For a time where there is not much happening, we can always choose to focus on the thing we are waiting for and grow frustrated OR on what’s around you at the moment and realize things to the point of gratefulness. What’s yours?

Gloat or growth?
