Good things come to those who....

Patience. It's one thing I have never been particularly good at. I know the bible teaches a lot on patience. I specifically avoid praying for God to give me patience because He will then put me in a situation where my patience is tested in the worst way and I get frustrated and angry. Be patient. Good things come to those who wait...

I don't wait. I charge on. I tackle my goals. I hustle. Good things come to those who hustle! Honestly, if good things come to those who wait, why is procrastination frowned upon? 

My lack of patience often gets me in trouble. When I am seeking a relationship with a man, I often just want to skip all the bullshit and go straight to an exclusive relationship because I don't like to play games. I know what I want and if I see it in you, I'm going to go after it. Men don't like being chased. After 4 years, I still haven't learned my lesson and that's why I'm still single. 

My kids notice it too. They've picked up my impatient attitude about certain things. For example, we have been packing the house and I told them we had to pack their toy room. It was a total wreck. I told them we would dump everything in the center, then sort it into boxes to be packed. My son charges in and just starts filling bins without sorting it wanting to just be done with it so he could go play. When I tell him that's not how I want it packed, he asks why it has to be sorted if its just going to be dumped out and messy at the new house? Oh you smartaleck child! He has a point though. I still make him sort it out because it's how I want it done. After 5 hours, it's all sorted and he exclaims "Mom! I have all my Legos in one place to play with now!" Naturally, patience and perseverance in getting the job done paid off. If only it worked like that in every aspect of my life.

If you don't ask, the answer is always "no". If you never take a step forward, you will always be right where you're at. If you always do what you've always done, you'll always have what you've always had. Change. Move forward. Take a leap of faith. Hustle. Sometimes its not always clear what you should do. Sometimes patience is key. Sometimes hard work is the only solution to reaching your goal. So, good things come to those who wait but also those who get up and work their asses off for it. Taylor it to your current goal and either get up and go after it, or have a little patience for the answer to reveal itself. 

Have an amazing day everyone!
