I have been wanting to write a new post for awhile now... something about Christmas, something about the New Year, something about family and friends and all of the things I've been learning lately. But I have been so busy and had so much on my mind lately that it's been hard for me to organize my thoughts.
Much of what has been on my mind involves questions about the future- relationships, work, finances, plans... so much to think about. And we are impatient people. We like to know now what is going to come of something, where to focus our efforts. We don't want to go down a road that will end up in us being hurt, or disappointed. But sometimes we have to let go of the urge to figure things out and just embrace the uncertainty of this adventure called life. We have to stop worrying about which path we are taking, and focus instead on enjoying the journey.
Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart
and try to love the questions themselves ...
Don't search for the answers,
which could not be given to you now,
because you would not be able to live them.
And the point is, to live everything.
Live the questions now.
Perhaps then, someday far in the future,
you will gradually, without even noticing it,
live your way into the answer.
