Learn To Work And Wait

Do what you are good at, not what you are bad at. Strength comes from doing what you are good at. Learn to work and wait for your time. Yes, waiting time is really hard, but its fruit is the best. Do not stop working. Do not stop waiting. Do not stop achieving. As Henry Wardsworth Longfellow once said, “Still achieving, still pursuing, learn to labor and to wait.” Never stop working. Never stop waiting. But do not just waste your time waiting for what you have not planted in the ground to grow. Waiting for what is not going to grow, waiting for what is not going to make your life better is a total waste of your precious time. Do not do that. If you want to achieve success, you must learn to work and to wait. Ray Palmer said, “We are waiting, master, waiting, Wayworn, pressed with toils and strife; Waiting, hoping, watching, praying, Till we reach the gate of life.”

Why You Shouldn’t Give Up Too Fast

As Marquis De VauVenargues once said, “Patience is the art of hoping.” Life is not easy, but giving up won’t make it better. To achieve greatness, you must have confidence in yourself. You must believe in yourself. Because without self-belief, there can be no growth. Patience is everything. Do not fear. Do not be scared of the unknown. Use the power of patience to achieve your dreams. As Helena Roerich once said, “Let us apply patience as well, for without patience nothing can be achieved. Verily, very often people give up a brilliant beginning only because of lack of patience. They forget that all great tasks are accompanied by difficulties, but by shunning those difficulties they condemn themselves to a fatiguing and endlessly reiterative course.” Patience is the way. Patience brings peace. Without it, there can be no peace. If you want to make peace with your soul, be patient with yourself.
