One of the thing that I hate in life is waiting!
I just do not like the anxiety, the unknown, the uncontrollable mixed emotions!
I just hate looking ahead and see nothing,
or I see something but I could not reach it.
"Waiting Room" for me is a period of time/place in life when we are getting ready for something ahead of us, a process of being and having a better life.
If we are wise enough to wait, learn and moving forward,
those waiting moments in the waiting room are very rewarding in life.
It taught us about being patient, trusting, hoping, surrender and admitting that...
"I am just a human."
We become smarter, wiser, stronger and more mature.
The waiting moments also taught us a lot of things on how to reach the top, how to get ready, how to grasp what we have been wanting- waiting - working for in life.
Sometimes, we rushed things that we are not ready to received and we got burned,
we failed!
Stupidity, impatient and pride are a very bad combination while we are in that waiting moments.
Think of the waiting moment as a step that you need to go through before the next step exists.
There are steps that we could skipped because we mastered them already or they are not that important, but there are steps that needed to be precisely done step by step or you had to start all over again.
But,
many of us stuck in the waiting (moment's) room because we do not want to let go of the past (before the waiting room) and too afraid, too stupid, too lazy to walk to the next room.
We hold on to our past because the future is uncertain,
-understandable but arguable-
How do you know what tomorrow hold if you are too afraid to let go of your past?
Whether it was your golden moment or dark moment..
let it go!
If it is your golden moment,
be proud of it,
keep it as your best memory
and use it to motivates you.
But,
it happened in the past,
you need to let it stay in the past
and create your new golden moments.
If it is your dark moment,
be proud that you get out of it,
keep it as a lesson
and use it to motivates you to be better
or not to do the same mistakes you or the persons who did that to you.
It happened in the past, you need to let it go!
I hate being in the waiting room,
but I keep myself busy in any waiting room,
may it be the dentist, doctor appointment, job interview, waiting for my food or for my next chapter in life.
I try to switch my frustration of being stuck in a waiting room into looking forward for the next room's surprises so that I could move forward.
Once it is my turn to go to the next room,
I am so ready,
sometimes nervous,
excited, scared,
but ready.
Every process in life will either make you stronger or destroy your strength.
Choose strong and be strong!
An athlete who won a gold medal did not just win it without training.
It is a long process of dreams, focus, motivation, patient, sacrifices, learning, up and down, sweat, tears, strength, hope, pray, dedication and work,
..in the waiting room..
but the reward is priceless!
-Things that we have seen are history, things that we see now are history in the making, things that we will see are still unknown. But unknown does not always mean bad..it could also mean great, awesome, exciting, better, promising, life changing, blessings-
