WAITING AND WAITING AND WAITING

PATIENCE. This is an area in my life that I have always struggled with. Why you ask? Like most people we want what we want, when we want it.
 DOES NOT HAPPEN THAT WAY. AT LEAST IN MY EXPERIENCES IN LIFE.
 I moved to Ocean Grove, New Jersey in July of 2011 and have been trying to build a business in a small beach town. Not exactly an easy task. For one solid year I have been PLANTING SEEDS AND TRYING TO SET ROOTS.
What happens when you plant seeds you must WAIT for them to grow.
 My mom always said to me that there is a process when you plant seeds in order to harvest the crop the seeds must be tended to, they need nutrients such as sun and water and TIME.
 This is not something that I do not know. The one thing that I realized planting seeds is they grow at their own pace and in their own TIME.
 THE PERFECT TIME. I KNOW.
 Realizing this has been a constant form of stress and anxiety for me. Beacause I need things to happen in my time. VERY SELFISH AND EGOTISTICAL OF ME I KNOW.

 The stress comes from me not fully trusting that when things are suppose to happen, they will, and not a moment before. The flower is not going to bloom with me standing over it and saying bloom. THINGS HAPPEN WHEN,AND HOW THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN.
 I decided to make an entry on this topic because I have been stressed. This is a reminder to me and to you that all the stress in the world will not make the flowers bloom any faster.
 PATIENCE IS SOMETHING THAT I STILL STRUGGLE WITH BUT KNOW THAT IT IS IN MY BEST INTEREST TO FIGURE IT OUT AND PRACTICE IT. IT WILL MAKE MY LIFE SOO MUCH BETTER. I encourage you to work on what is creating stress in your life.
 BREATHE. FAITH. TRUST
 DON'T WORRY IT WILL ALL WORK OUT.
