Through several encouragement and Inspirational phases one goes through about the hustle, the dedication, perseverance and courage barely not much is given to the most important element of the whole shebang, which is the waiting , "patience" , the things take time element. At the end of the day when all the talks and action are done, we must leave things to something beyond our control, some call that destiny and l call that God. The Time Keeper.
God holds a different time piece to that which we wear, day as it is to us could be months to him. I mean have you ever noticed how many amazing hard working people take years and years to finally get what they have been sweating for all this time. Sometimes, they have even given up because they waited for a shortwhile cause nobody ever taught the art of waiting. Of all the things to do in the hustling dynamics , l think waiting is the hardest. I mean with that nobody is cheering for you. You may even be ridiculed on how useless you are, lazy and hopeless.
The time between the steps and the waiting is important because how you wait is a total different ball game. I think while waiting on God we are supposed to do an introspection on ourselves, who we truly are, what we are passionate about, what makes us happy. You know these little things we rarely allocate time for cause we always busy focused on bigger things. Look at how wine matures with time and its delicate taste becomes so incredibly delicious with the patience , possibly we could learn a thing or two about that process.
Nature can make us see how beautiful it is the things that patience creates, allowing the time keeper to keep his time and do things as he wishes. Look at a tree, that has survived thousand seasons, both extremes and still remained tall for the earth to rest under. Today you may admire its beauty but you may never realise the depth of its patience for it to be completely formed and be as strong as it is today, so like the tree we shall go through many seasons, all extremes in it but with a little more patience each day the waiting will be worth being waited upon.
Nobody ever teaches you that waiting is part of every process but it is. While waiting where exactly in the universe do you place yourself? Are you ready to receive or you are still at the first step you took and you are just waiting? You know l realised you can never just wait, something changes every time with waiting, the colour of the day, the strength and the weakness of the weather, the atmosphere of your emotions, things continue to change and they always play change on you weather you are playing along or just being. While waiting you have a chance to choose where in the universe you want to place yourself and get up there and make sure it is way comfortable for the long wait, while at it make sure you get a cow of wisdom so you may drink some good milk and wise up. Nobody ever tells you about the patience needed in the journey but just know it is the greatest part of the walk and at times the determiner of weather you receive your rewards or you walk away empty handed.
The time keeper is also merciful, l don't think he would ever leave you hopeless. Along the way certain sounds of love, hope and humour will spring up and make you forget the hardness of the journey just before the horn is blown and the aching pain of waiting kicks in. Be hopeful when you are working towards something, believe in it in all your might if passion is what got you there and with waiting thrown in it all shall definitely bring out great things.
In raging storms he came and whirled his shield around me, in my ears he let sounds of calming sea waves brace all of me. I never saw what exactly l was up against. Now that l am here, looking behind me l understand the power of love that rest on the creator of heaven and earth for all of us.
I kept procrastinating telling myself that the sun will shine more brighter tomorrow and l will do it but life has this thing of keeping us occupied with nothing till l realised the power of pain, as it enters our lives it redirects us to the path we must take and puts our mind on clear pace of focus. I choose to allow and accept pain but not let it defeat me.
Between me and the time keeper l had been confused who holds the britles and whips and who is the horse. I only under stood when my feet told me l was running on holy ground. Slowly he calms me with his whistles and sets my soul on patience mood. All l knew and know is running but never the walking slow part.
