As you wait for the right job, partner, idea, experience you have a choice.
You can complain, sit in sadness over what you don’t have yet. Become bitter because you want what you want and you want it now.
Or you can choose active waiting.
This is my favorite kind of waiting.
It happens when you know what you want but instead of being angry because you don’t have it yet you fill your time with productive thoughts, meaningful experiences, and supportive people. You learn new things, chase new experiences, gain new skills.
You keep living while you wait.
And sometimes when you actively wait you realize the process of becoming is just as fulfilling as finally receiving the thing you have been waiting for.
