Waiting
(page 2)
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.
Patience is not simply the ability to wait — it's how we behave while we're waiting.
Each life is made up of mistakes and learning, waiting and growing, practicing patience and being persistent.
I believe that a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust God, you're able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for something... it's about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.
You can't stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
Take a leap of faith and begin this wondrous new year by believing. Believe in yourself. And believe that there is a loving Source — a Sower of Dreams — just waiting to be asked to help you make your dreams come true.
The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We can help write that story by setting goals.
Waiting for the spark from heaven to fall.
I confess that I am a messy, disorganized and impatient reader: if the book doesn't grab me in the first 40 pages, I abandon it. I have piles of half-read books waiting for me to get acute hepatitis or some other serious condition that would force me to rest so that I could read more.
Publishing a volume of verse is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.
