We are taught from a very young age, to Wait… But Why??
We are taught to Wait while life passes us by.
Wait your turn
Wait in line
Wait for the right time
Wait for the one
Wait for me
Hurry up & Wait
Good things come to those who Wait
But do they?? What is the meaning of “Waiting”- Stop, stay right where U are, don't move. How many good opportunities have U missed while U were Waiting?? How many things could U have accomplished while U were Waiting?? How much Living did U miss while U were Waiting?? While U were Waiting, did Anything get much better; finances, job market, living conditions, health & wellbeing??
Waiting is not Patience but the two words are quite often used as if they're interchangeable. Do U know how U can tell that Waiting & Patience are two different things?? How many times have U “lost your patience” while waiting?? Or heard the phrase “Patiently Waiting”?? Patience is the ability to remain calm, compassionate, &/or empathetic in the midst of; “doing” or during uncomfortable/chaotic times or events. Patience is being able to hold a space of Peace for yourself &/or others during any moments where someone or something is bothersome or not going as planned. But Patience coincides with doing as well as being where Waiting does not. When teaching a child to read or write, U aren't waiting for them to learn it, U are patient with them while actively teaching them how to.
If U are (or have ever been) a religious person then U most certainly have heard the phrase: Faith without works is dead.
Having Faith is not Waiting. Having Faith is having Patience in knowing that while U are working towards your goal, Spirit is aligning everything behind the scenes for U to achieve & obtain your goal.
Waiting is simply another part of the Matrix fuckery to keep U chained up, plugged in, linked in, off your game, and away from your Sovereignty to be just another human battery feeding the machine.
I've wasted too much of my life, Waiting instead of Living!!
As I think back over the years, I have always been labeled the “Crazy” one & told I was too “Impatient” because while I was raising my three sons, if things weren't working where I was, I would simply pack our shit & move. People would outright attack my mothering abilities, for doing exactly the same thing that every military family does- moving all over the place to the next job site. When my children were dependant on me, there was no hesitation, if there wasn't sufficient work to support my kids, I moved. Once my sons were full grown & the last of the three moved out, I was 100% my only responsibility for the first time, since the age of fourteen & finally on my own. It's now taken me ten more years to come to grips with Me being my only responsibility. In that ten years: I've waited to figure out what comes next, I waited while everything in my life turned to shit, I waited on better income, I waited on better living conditions. While Yes, I have grown; mentally, spiritually, emotionally- going thru tower moment after tower moment, and (not sure if this was) a (ten year long) Dark Nite of the Soul (or several within ten years). All in all it wasn't a completely wasted ten years, but I Am Absolutely Done Waiting and I Am Beginning to LIVE!!
So let me ask U:
What are U Waiting For???
(I wish I knew the artist of this drawing, I found it on fb many years ago. This drawing portrays life in Puerto Rico during simpler times & better days- for me this is Living)

What are you waiting for?
Asking these questions once in a life ...but living life with whole heartedly and connecting to ourselves once again. It's needed✨
Your words are connecting and lively 🤍
There is a line from a Jimmy Eat World song called Get Right that always stuck out to me…. Disguised as Patience time gets wasted. And now it’s stuck in my head ☺️.
This was such a fantastic, powerful article, I loved every word.
