Ok, it appears that I have been slacking. Actually though, I’ve been trying to figure out what the next lesson is that I’ve learned in my 30 days of accepting change. The more I tried to pull out a lesson, the more frustrated I was became so I took a step back and simply let things be. I’m discovering that by just letting things be and allowing them to happen as they will, things eventually start to become evident.

It all boils down to patience, something that I thought I had until I caught myself wishing the lessons would come faster to me. Patience can be difficult, especially in times of uncertainty and frustration. It is usually when I’m feeling uncertain and frustrated that I have a major lack of patience. Ironically, it is patience that helps soothe the feelings of uncertainty and frustration. So, how do we get around this Catch-22?

I hate to say it, you need to just sit back and be patient. Don’t put a lot of energy seeking out lessons and answers. When you are ready to receive them and understand them, they will become obvious to you. Unfortunately, the process of growing does not work in the time frame we want it to work in. Just think, if it did, we’d all be super-humans and have everything in our lives running perfectly and smoothly. Frankly, I honestly think that would be rather dull.

Think about it, even though it is uncomfortable to be in a state of flux, it’s far from boring. Or maybe it is a little boring, but after you go through that plateau, you will be able to look back at it and see the changes that have taken place in your personality and character. That is exciting - seeing how you’ve grown, how you’ve become a stronger and richer character. Being able to look back at the trying moments in life should be a big boost to your ego and give you fuel to conquer your goals and future trials. All you need to do to get there is be patient - it will come.
