Don\u2019t like it if I have to wait for someone else. Don\u2019t like it if I have to wait for something. It\u2019s tough if I have to wait for the right time.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>I like to go. Let\u2019s do this!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still there are times when I must wait. I have to wait.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision has been made and the decision action hangs in the eternal present. It is unfurling, but it hasn\u2019t happened.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The action might require another person or group of people to agree. So I must maintain my intentions and be persuasive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This looks like making a statement to an audience and staying silent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wait for it. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wait.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wait.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let that person hear it, understand it and acknowledge what I said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s so uncomfortable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have leapt into that breach, thrown myself into it with desperate offers or suggestions. I\u2019ll handle it, I take care of it, just don\u2019t make me have to sit in the agony of uncertainty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if it\u2019s the opposite of what I want, It is better to have a direction and keep going. FINE! I\u2019ll do everything, just let\u2019s get started. I\u2019m dying&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the growth is in the pain. What I&nbsp;learn and who I&nbsp;become during&nbsp;the&nbsp;waiting is of greater value than what I thought I was trying to achieve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The synthesis formed in the two people working together and growing towards one another is the product of that growth. This is the transformation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But only if I stay true to myself. If I can get clear on what I what, what I need to ask for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Say it. Ask it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And let it shimmer like a ripe fruit on a tree. Let the other person pluck it. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can learn together when I have the courage to leave space. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hate waiting.
