You Can't Yank A Flower To Make It Grow Quicker

By Evan Sanders


There's an old saying that I absolutely love. It says something similar to - you can not yank on a flower to make it grow much faster.

How incredible is that?

Developing true patience must be one of the most challenging things to really develop. But without patience, we do not give ourselves the real opportunity to see things fully through. Similarly, there are many things in this world that call for our patience and will only develop when we actually bring it into our lives. Maybe there's unfinished business we have with someone or we are just giving something the space to grow and develop. Think about your dreams. Often, our dreams don't happen because we truly aren't yet the person who can really attain them. Actually that's practically always so. We don't get what we need so we will grow into the type of person we need to be to finally accomplish our greatest wishes.

Patience is the key to granting our future to unfold in front of us without our projections onto it. Patience, is the ability to stay absolutely present in the time given to us while not trying to live forward.

This is hard. Really hard.

Most of the time we would like to make things turn out exactly the way in which we see them in our mind. The real difficulty with this is that we are endeavoring to control a time and place that is actually wild and free. Oftentimes, the future unfolds in totally different methods than what we expected. This isn't always always a unpleasant thing though. Rather, this is often a decisive and real gift giving us what we actually needed instead of what we wanted. Wouldn't you rather just live in that place - a place of complete possibility and opportunity?

When we let go of what we think should occur, we allow for life to really surprise us.

Develop some patience. Everything will come to you in the best time.
