Shine With Grace

Are you a patient person?

I am not sure whether I am one.  Sometimes I am, sometimes, I am not.

Not sure whether this applies to you too - the more I am concerned about something, the more I am impatient about it.

We like to see results, or at least, some progress.  We like things to move according to our schedule.   We would like to harvest fruits today even though the we sowed the seeds only yesterday.

But the universe has its own schedule.

And, our impatience can sometimes slow down, instead of speed up the whole process.

You have heard about the story of the famer who tried to “help” the plants to grow faster by pulling them everyday and finally demaged the plants.  And, the story about the greedy guy who killed his golden goose in order to harvest the golden eggs all at once, but found nothing inside the body.

Don’t we do that all the time?

When we are impatient, we take many unnecessary actions - actions that are in-futile, actions that you thought would speed up the process, but turned out ruining certain opportunities.  We can be too eager to sell that we drive our customers up the wall.  We can be too attached to our loved ones that they felt they can hardly breath. 

Reading Dr. Wayne Dyers’ the Power of Intention and would like to share with you his vision on “infinite patience”, a seemingly contradicting concept that brings so much peace to the mind if you really understand and practise it:

A few words about patience:  There’s a wonderfully paradoxical line in A course in Miracles: ” Infinite patience produces immediate results.”  To be infinitely patient means to have an absolute knowing within you that you’re in vibrational harmony with the all-creating force that intended you here.  You are, in fact, a co-creator of your life.  You know that the right people will show up on divinely ordained schedule.  Attempting to rush the schedule based on your own timetable is akin to getting down on your knees and tugging at an emerging tulip shoot, insisting that you need the flower now.  Creation reveals its secrets by and by, not according to your agenda.  The immediate result that you’ll receive form you infinite patience is a deep sense of peace.  You’ll feel the love of the creation process, you’ll stop making incessant demands, and you’ll start being on the lookout for exactly the right person.
