For those that know me they will know that patience is not one of my strengths. I am often living tomorrow at the expense of today, always feeling life should be happening quicker and speedier that what it is. This can be very frustrating at times!
Often these feelings come from a place of insecurity and lack of trust. Our thinking will go like this..."if it doesn’t happen now I’m going to miss out". This thinking implies life does not have an ultimate purpose or plan. Contradictory to my previous confession I believe that my life has a plan and for that matter an ultimate purpose.
The psychologist Viktor Frankl said
"Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life. Everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfilment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. Thus everyone’s task is as unique as his specific opportunity to implement it"
We need to trust this absolute truth and stop feeling we are in a race against the rest of the world....the only person we are truly racing is ourself.
