As it all unfolds
You’d like to find out how the story ends. But if you simply skip to the end, you miss the heart of that story.
It’s good to have matters resolved. Yet it takes time to happen, and you don’t want to ignore everything else in your life during that time.
When you’ve made a decision, or set a process in motion, give yourself time, give life time to let the results emerge. You’ll gain nothing by hovering uselessly around the oven while the cake is baking.
Do what you can, when you can, to move the process along. And when you’ve done all there is to do for the moment, point your focus elsewhere.
Your time, effort, and attention have great potential value. Invest them where that value can be realized.
With patience and understanding, welcome the time needed for situations to be resolved, questions to be answered, choices to play out. Continue living your life as it all unfolds.
