Just Wait

"If ever you are feeling like you're tired, and all your uphill struggles leave you headed downhill...I ask of you a very simple question, did you think for one minute that you were alone? And is your suffering a privilege you share only, or did you think that everybody else feels completely at home?...There's no such thing as a failure who keeps trying. Coasting to the bottom is the only disgrace... Just wait. Just wait. Just wait. And it will come."
"Just Wait" - Blues Traveler

Thanks to Bear for recommending this song. I wasn't able to locate it on YouTube, so if you would like to listen for free, I am including a link to a live version: http://www.archive.org/details/bt2002-11-30.shnf When you go to the link, you will see a box appear on the right, upper side of the screen with the names of songs. Click on the tool bar on the right side of the box and drag the bar down until you come to song number 12 which is "Just Wait." Click on the song and it will start. Give it a chance to get going, the audio quality gets better after the first minute or so of this live version.

This song echoes a theme that I will touch more on in the next post. Simply stated it is "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Sometimes, though, the trying must be tempered with a little bit of patient waiting. Some things in life can't be forced. Perserverance and timing must work hand in hand.

Food for Thought: Is there an area of your life where you are "pushing," where you might be better "waiting?"

Proactive Inspiration Challenge: Take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Picture the things you want, the things you are working for, moving towards you through space and time. Slow down. Wait for them.
