Even if our efforts of attention seem for years to be producing no result, one day a light that is in exact proportion to them will flood the soul. – Simone Weil

Once again, a quote that I chose almost a week ago is having a profound impact on my life right now. I feel like I’ve been putting so much effort into a project without seeing the results that I want.  I need to remind myself to just wait – it’s worth it.  It may not seem like it now, and it may not be happening as fast as I would like, but it is happening.  Sometimes you just have to give it time.

I’m not a super patient person, and I really want immediate gratification.  I’m really bad about that, and I admit it completely and totally.  I’ll get disappointed if after hitting the gym for a week that I’m not skinny.  Logically I know that’s not how it works and I know that.  But when I’m standing there all hot and sweaty, and looking at myself in the mirror, I get so depressed that I’m not all skinny.  I have to keep reminding myself that things take time.

Things take time, and they’re also worth waiting for.  There is something to be said for anticipation, too.  Remember when you were little and you were counting down the days until summer vacation, or your birthday or Christmas?  And that feeling when it finally got here?  The anticipation is what made it so special.  So don’t get caught up in the wanting it right away or expecting it to happen right away. It’s going to happen.  It will.  And when it does, the wait is going to be so worth it!
