Waiting

How difficult it is sometimes to wait for life to unfold, to restrain ourselves from trying to hurry it along or make things happen before its time. In our eagerness for results, however, we forget that waiting is as important as part of life as doing. There is a purpose for waiting, as Richard Wilhelm, observes in his translation of the I Ching, the book of Changes,. "Waiting is not the mere empty hoping. It has the inner certainty of reaching the goal." The period of waiting is a valuable time, during which we can strengthen our inner resources. If there is nothing we can do about a situation except wait, we can use that opportunity to relax, research, and reflect- all highly useful activities that invariably lead the direction of clarity. Lead From Within: Like any opportunity, waiting can be used to your advantage Call To Action: If you are currently in a position of waiting, how can you use the time productively?
