Be patient
with yourself. It takes time to work out
issues, to work through things. It takes time
to learn lessons. The more important the
lesson, the longer the cycle to work it out
and work it through.
We may live in
a technical age, but our souls aren't
technical. They're still connected to nature.
We grow and change as nature does. Learn her
ways. Study her seasons and cycles, and know
those same seasons and cycles are in each of
us. The process of change is like planting a
seed and watching it grow and bloom into a
flower.
What are you
trying to develop? A project? A change in
yourself? Is there something new you're
learning, trying to do? Are you trying to
adjust to a major change in your life? Is
there an old habit you're struggling to let
go of? A love relationship or friendship
you're hoping to begin or attempting to end?
Each stage of
the process of growth and change is
important. From those first moments when we
see the idea, or the change begins, to those
long moments of nurturing and nourishing the
idea, each stage counts. Is there a change in
your life that's begun, one you've started to
notice? Are you thinking about it a lot,
talking about it a lot, but not quite ready
to take action? That stage is important too.
You're nurturing and nourishing the seeds of
change.
It takes time
for nature to change things into what they're
becoming. It takes time for things to
develop. Be patient with yourself and life.
Trust the process of growth.
