How long will I have to wait?

When will it happen for me?

 

Patience is simply the making or stretching process, the building of character.

 

First step,

Look within yourself,

Acknowledge that you are on a journey,

Accept that you are being molded,

Realize you are in development, stretching,

Accept that you are being challenged to develop strength and tenacity,

You are on the right track,

Check your heart, passion, drive, conscience,

Ask the difficult questions of yourself…

Am I on the right track?

Have I been totally honest with myself?

Am I paying attention?

Do I have what it takes?…Yes, I do!

The bottom line, I will exercise patience, and wait until my change comes

 

Until next time……….peace!
