Waiting seems to be one of the most difficult things.   The mind just hates it.  We want everything now. We want so badly that we pray for it, wish for it, focus on it.

In Human Design, almost everyone is instructed to wait.   Wait to respond.  Wait to be invited.  Ugh, says the mind.  I’m too busy to wait.  I have too much to do right now.  I have a life to make.

So, what about this waiting thing?  Is it important or a waste of time?  I vote for important.

Look at it like there are two worlds, one where you have to do everything and one where everything is done through you.  In the later, you no longer go out of your self towards things.  You stay within and things come to you.  Things - that is, thoughts, feelings and perceptions come to you, appear to you, arise within you.  You, your essence, no longer needs to forget itself in order to experience the body, mind and the world.  This experience by your essence, or Consciousness, is the prize.  Experience it and you know I’m right.

Waiting, with awareness, is a prerequisite for experiencing deeply.  When you know that you are a unique perfect expression of God, waiting for life to unfold becomes easy.  What could you do to improve it?  Nothing.  So give up the anxiety, pain and struggle and try waiting for what comes.  It won’t be easy because almost everyone is racing, praying or hoping for something to happen.  The only mentors you will find who are waiting are a rare few sages and awakening ones.  Think about it.
