Translation of the I CHING,the Chinese Book of Changes

Waiting

"How difficult it is sometime to wait for life to unfold,to restrain ourselves from trying to hurry it along or make things happen before their time.

We forget that waiting is as important a part of life as doing.There is a purpose to waiting;Waiting is not mere empty hoping.It has the inner certainty of reaching the goal.

The period of waiting is a valuable time,during which we can strengthen our inner resources.If there is nothing we can do about a situation except wait.we can use that opportunity to plan,relax,research,all highly useful activities that invariably lead in the direction of illumination.

If you are currently in a position of waiting,how can you use the time productively? what do you think the purpose of the waiting is in your life? Instead of becoming frustrated or despairing,try thanking the waiting for providing a breather in your life,a chance to nourish yourself physically,emotionally and spiritually.

"The rain will come in its own time.We cannot make it happen; we have to wait for it."
