There is no fruit which is not bitter
before it is ripe.
Publilius Syrus
:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:
There are some things in life you simply
cannot rush. In the early stages of my
disease, I went through life like a
steam roller ... impatiently starting
one project after another. If there was
something in my life that depended on
the actions of another for resolution,
it was excruciating while waiting on the
decision. As a result, sometimes
decisions were forced. I have made many
bad decisions because of lack of
patience.
I have learned that sometimes we have to
turn decisions over to others ... we
have to let go and let others take
control. We must wait it out and hope
that our decision to let go was a good
one. Many times it is. Sometimes it
isn't.
I have become a very patient person
... and sometimes that is to my
detriment. It can be hard to find a
middle ground in the decision making
process. Snap decisions aren't
good. Neither are those we sit on
forever.
ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .
I will patiently wait on my Higher Power
to direct me ... to guide me ...
and to help me with the decisions I must make.
