I'm a big fan of Hazelden. I visit the website daily for the "Thought for the Day". How cool is it that today's Thought from the book Today's Gift, is right on time for yesterday's post.
"We often want things immediately. We want to play the piano, but only if we can learn it fast. We want others to love us right away, or we'll give up on them. If something we're doing doesn't go just so right from the start, we give up.
But the permanent things in life take time to develop. If we want our relationships, our skills, our accomplishments, to resist the storms we all encounter, we must allow time for them to grow and deepen within us, and marvel, in the meantime, at how much we can learn from the world around us."
Do you have patience today? Are you willing to work for what you want, or do you just give up if it doesn't happen on your timetable?
