"Patience is developed much like awareness. Through an acceptance of what is. Impatience is an argument with reality. The desire for something to be different from what we are experiencing in the here and now. A wish for time to speed up, tomorrow to come sooner, to relive yesterday, or to close your eyes and open them and find yourself in another place." -Rick Rubin
I'm the kind of person that gets a lot of gratification from putting in the work. The harder the work, the more satisfaction can be derived from it. But for people like me, the hardest part is after the work is done and there is nothing left to do but wait and trust in God's timing. Over the last few years I've learned to trust the process. God puts a vision in our hearts and calls us to action, then we have to put in the work. But when we've done the work, it's time to wait. Not to coast, the grind must continue but we must be patient and most importantly, don't try to control the outcome. As I've become familiar with the process, it's gotten easier but it never gets easy. But it's worth it.
