There will be times when the thing we’re looking for or working for seems like it’s right around the corner. And then it doesn’t happen. And then after a while, it still doesn’t happen. And along the way, we have to decide how we’re going to handle this delay? Will we give up, disappointed or disillusioned, or will we continue to work while we wait?
As we all know, things don’t always happen when we think they should, or when we’d like them to. And when there is a delay, it causes us to ask the question, Is this worth the wait? Because if it is—if what we’re looking to see happen is worth waiting for—we need to remind ourselves of that when the inevitable delays come, because it can provide the motivation to keep working in the meanwhile.
