For Those In Waiting

For Those In Waiting

Hey there,

Waiting sucks, right? I know…it’s one of the things I don’t like to do. I’ve always wondered why we have to wait for some things that we want immediately.

While some of us may be waiting for big things like a promotion, financial breakthrough, a house, a new job, marriage, pregnancy, etc., others are waiting for smaller things like a response to an email, an approval, a confirmation, a phone call, an invitation, etc.

It doesn’t matter if what you’re waiting for is big or small; as long as you’re waiting, you’re waiting, and it can get tiring. If you’re feeling discouraged or impatient while waiting for something in your life, just know you’re not alone; we’re all in this together. Waiting can be tough, but it’s important to remember that good things take time.

Wondering what to do while waiting?

1. Focus on Yourself: You can use this time to focus on yourself. Identify the things you need to improve on and work on them for yourself. Focus on your self-care.

2. Pursue Your Passion: If you’re curious about or interested in something, you can keep yourself busy by trying it out. You never know; it may just be your thing.

3. Stay Positive: Remember to remain positive and hopeful that what is yours will find its way to you at the right time.

4. Trust The Process: You need to trust that everything will work out in the end and try to enjoy the journey along the way.

5. Pray: As long as you have faith, put in the work and back it up with prayers, what you want or the best version of it will be yours. If all else fails, there is always prayer. Don’t forget to pray.

Remember, the waiting period is a temporary pause before something amazing happens. Hang in there and keep believing in yourself. You’ve got this!

Sending you lots of love and positivity as you navigate this waiting period. Stay strong, and remember that better days are ahead.
