“Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in mind.” –David G. Allen

All along the path of having the good idea, tapping into the visionary inspiration, or even getting the fully-fleshed-out plan in place, we face what continues even as we move forward: patience for the process to unfold.

Petulant children “want it now”…and, often, so do we.

A Course in Miracles says “Only infinite patience produces immediate results.”

As ironic as it seems, as we most come closest to the fulfillment of those grand initiatives–in our work, our family, our projects, our dreams–we are best served by an Instant Messenger: “Patience!”

American writer Ursula Le Guin says “It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end.”

When training for marathons years ago, I was impressed by a bit of wisdom that runners operate by: run through the finish line tape, not to it.

Where today can you remember that the joy is in the whole process, not only the end result?

I’m making The Back Forty Re-NEW-ALL Program below FREE for those who have been affected by any recent storm, or even any particular personal tragedy. It’s all about taking a pro-active stance, in the face of devastation, to point ourselves toward our next and best life to come. Please forward this to those it can support, and have them simply reply email me with their situation.

Got IM patience?

“Without patience, we will learn less in life. We will see less. We will feel less. We will hear less. Ironically, rush and more usually mean less.” –Mother Theresa
