I had a conversation with a young lady this week who struck me with her patience. In an age of quarter-by-quarter statistics and "give it to me now" careerism, I’m encouraged when I meet someone who is willing to wait.
In our conversation she relayed how thankful she was that she didn’t get a certain promotion. She was practicing the art of connecting the dots. I feel for those that never do that. The essence of life is the "lifetime." Without a doubt this lady was sharp, and I have no doubt she’ll do well in her career. People that don’t expect overnight successes usually live out their dreams.
If you’re struggling with waiting, take a cue from history. The following article is a great example to learn from. Link:http://www.pfdf.org/leaderbooks/l2l/summer2004/uldrich.html
