The WAIT with patience

Nothing worth having comes easy, no matter how much the struggle might be. This has always been a tough time with me. If the wait is inevitable, then its our choice to perceive the phase in optimistic way or pessimistic way. In case of optimism, patience and faith are the virtues that strengthen us and retain to our inner self. Patience controls the impulses and boosts the self control whereas impatience shoots up irritation and temper.

It's really hard to maintain patience all the time and isn't always easy, as we want things to happen according to our own plan. But God's timing is always perfect, better and higher than our own. God just tests our perseverance. Having patience for whatever we are waiting for without give up, is the key I count on.

" All good comes to those who wait.. " ~ Sri B

As everything happens for a reason, it's wise to utilize the waiting period for good. Because every moment and situation we face in our life, favors to understand the Self, our purpose and to grow as a person, which indirectly helps us to radiate more love and peace.

" Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty.. I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great people who led difficult lives and led them well. " ~ Theodore Roosevelt

Gratitude mindset makes us to live life the way it is, instead of thinking about the future or what we don't have now. The present is what we have in our hands, not past or future. It's our option to create heaven or hell out of it. Once Swami Rama asked a mantra for "Happiness" to his Master. His Master smiled at him and said, "Create your own happiness wherever you are and whatever your circumstances might be. If this is what you are, you can walk even hell as though its heaven! This is Happiness mantra my son."

" Sita, wife of Lord Rama, an important character from a famous Indian epic Ramayana, has been given the highest respect in Indian mythology and she was one of the "Panchakanyas". It's all because of her patience, faith and commitment. 

She not only undergone a lot with patience during the exile period, but unveiled the extreme patience and steadiness during her abducted period by demon Ravana. The strength behind her is, faith on her husband Lord Rama. She believed that Rama would come and save her from that tantrum. Finally, what she believed came true!! "

So rather than thinking about our petty disappointments and  impatience, its beautiful to handle the present as joyful as possible with what we have and what we can do, to make the waiting period a sensible journey.

" The fruit falls from the tree when it gets ripe. So wait for the time to come. Do not hurry. Moreover, no one has the right to make others miserable by his foolish acts. Wait, have patience, everything will come right in time. "  ~ Swami Vivekananda
