One of the things I’m working on is to become more patient.
I think it’s very easy to become impatient when we have ambitious goals (including starting a business) because we want everything to happen as soon as possible. But alas, life is a process. When accomplishments take longer and are harder to earn, we end up valuing them more.
So I want to share this Bible verse from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (I don’t know even know how to pronounce that…). Anyhow, this verse / poem gives me peace and reminds me that things will unfold on their own time:
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
– Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
For my life in the present moment, I think it’s a time for stretching beyond my comfort zone, which can be exciting yet uncomfortably scary. What time is it for you now?
Love, Kat
