- Topics: [[Self-understanding]] --- ## Notes - Waiting is to be in a state of anticipation; driven by desire without certainty of outcome. - The productiveness of waiting is determined by one's patience. As patience diminishes, anxiety forms. - Anxiety of certainty, compounding into fear. By now, the thing that you were waiting for is no longer as pressing as the anxiety and fear that consumes you. Now, you are waiting for the fear to go away. - [[To be ready is to not only be in the moment, but to be the moment]]. - When opportunity presents itself, you act, almost without thinking. You do not anticipate it. You do not need to. It happens all by itself. - In waiting, patience erodes over shifting perceptions of time. - [[In readiness, patience if infinite]], and you experience time as it truly is.. ## Original ![[Waiting is not the same as readiness.jpg]]
