Our times are filled with instant gratification
Waiting has become scarce
You could say we have forgotten how to wait
And yet often waiting does not serve us
Waiting for the "right" job or the "right" time or the "right" mate
The opportunity passes as one waits on the shore for a good time to jump in
Maybe another will arise and maybe it won't
Striding boldly out into the world beats
Passively waiting for a gift of happiness to be delivered to your door
And yet starting something just to start something will likely not work
Consider, plan, strategize, and then act
Wait and then don't wait
