The waiting game

Waiting around is not a very fun thing. Most of us are impatient and want things to happen right now we don't want to wait around for goods things to happen. We want the latest and greatest things now we don't want wait around for it. We always want the next best thing we are never satisfied with what we have and we are not patient enough to see if things will get better. We give in way too easily.

Lately I have realized that have been impatient that I want something great to happen in my life. I don't want to wait around for something good to happen I want it to happen now. I am always looking for the next great thing in life. However it has come to my attention that I need to stop thinking about wanting something great to happen in my life. I need to just slow down and enjoy the life that is going on around me. I keep waiting on something to happen to me but why I am doing this? I do not even know what I am waiting. This semester has been rough and I guess I keep thinking well eventually something good will happen. So what do I do I wait around for that good thing to happen and when time has passed and nothing good happens I get frustrated and do not understand why something good has happen.

However, it occurred to me the other day good things are happening to me but I am waiting for that one really great thing to happen to me. That one great thing is for something to tell me everything will be okay and things will work out for you. I realized that one thing is never going to happen because it is those little things that I have been missing out on because I have been so concentrated on that one big great thing that will tell me everything will be okay. I have realized that life is not about the big things that happen in your life but they are the thing little things that are happening while you are busy living life that tell you hey everything will be okay. I need to concentrate on those times in my life and just keep my head up. These things are definitely easier said then done because I am human and we are wanting more, wanting something better. My question is why?

Why are we always so concentrated on the next thing in life? We have so many great things going on in our life right now that we are missing out on because we want the next part of our life to start. So slow down and look at the little things in your life, the things that you do not think really matter. Maybe it is a text message that someone sent or maybe it is just something that you see everyday but do not fully realize how amazing it is. So stop waiting for the next great thing to happen in you life and live for the now because the now can be pretty great too.
