LXXVI (76) Unfolding

Patience.

Just like meditation, writing, martial arts, and pretty much anything else you want to get good at. Patience takes practice.

The past few years, 2020 included, have been some of my favorite years so far, because I feel like I’m finally breaking my former self-sabotaging ways. I’m designing the life that I’ve dreamed of, by learning how to live for today.

Setting goals, and following the path has led to multiple successes. Never has the journey went exactly how I planned, but it keeps getting better. Yet still, when something doesn’t go exactly the way I saw it, there is a part of me that wants to be impatient, or worry that maybe I’m going the wrong way. So I’m learning to practice patience, and that takes trust. Trust that when things don’t go the way we planned, the Universe is just preparing us for even bigger opportunities.

I promise I’m gonna stop talking like a fortune cookie… then again, maybe that’s a promise that I can’t promise to keep. My path keeps unfolding. When I’m open to it, I can always see the way ahead, even if I can’t see what’s gonna meet me on the road.

So if you see roadblocks up ahead, or find yourself jumping hurdles. Don’t be discouraged, you are on the right path. Sometimes we just have to learn patience, and patience takes practice.
