Patience is a virtue.

I heard something today and I thought it was interesting. "be patient to all that is unsolved in your heart". Patience is something we lack so much today. We are so used to instant pleasure we never want to wait for anything, work for it. We think wanting it or working a little should make it ours. That should be enough.
I'm someone that genuinely believes everything happens for a reason and yet I still find myself getting caught up in the here and now or worse getting caught up in the future and forgetting that sometimes, it is out of our control. Sometimes it's just not the right time. Think of a broken heart, most times people think that someone new will come along and that someone new will put it back together. Maybe that's true for some people but maybe that doesn't fix it. Maybe it bandages it. The only person who can fix one's heart is one's self. It is a conscious choice. Most people would disagree that it's a choice, but it really is. The part that isn't a choice is the timing. We don't choose when we are really ready. We always want it now. But we have to be patient and allow ourselves to learn and grow so that when the time is right, we can choose to move on. We can choose our next step. But this step must be taken in good time. If cannot be rushed not determined strategically. Each person has a certain timeline. And we cannot control when we or anyone else is ready. You'll just know.
