One of the most beautiful aspects of human nature is our ability to wait for something.We are  always waiting for something or the other.Waiting,however,is not to be seen as a distasteful activity;you must know how to wait.There are different ways of waiting and different reasons for waiting.
       When we do not know how to live in the present and are always waiting,it is a reflection of our lazy nature.The lazier you are,the more unconscious of yourself you are,the more you live on the surface,in the outward appearance and with your surface nature,and you tend to simply wait.This is inertia.In the inertia we always wait for something to change hoping that somebody will come and give us what we desire.

       Human nature is like that.If you observe yourself,you will see that life is always knocking on your door,every day,every minute.It is telling you to change.But you have no courage to change;you are waiting for change to happen.You just won’t be the change you want.We all want peace,harmony and happiness.But how many actually work towards achieving these?

       Nature is often at the receiving end-human activity gives rise to exploitation of resources and pollution,for instance.Nature wants you to change,but you don’t.You are waiting(for what?) and when things get out of hands,disaster might take place.Call them natural or human-made;the fact is that the environment has its threshold and one day we are faced with a challenging situation.Sometimes it takes us by complete surprise;it comes as a shock.Catastrophes happen and we are not entirely prepared to face the consequences.

       However,sometimes we learn from these catastrophes and even take steps to bring about change in ourselves and the environment.The day you understand that you have to cooperate,collaborate,exercise patience and feel connected,that day becomes the beginning of a new way of life.

      If you do not have patience and do not cooperate but cry and complain,nothing much will happen except that you will allow nature to use a bigger and more powerful hammer to knock you awake.

      Waiting is good but if you know how to wait.When you know how to wait you put time by your side;time comes with you.Learn how to wait with patience and in silence.Generally,when we wait we do so full of nervous energy and tension,we are out of balance.When we are waiting we have no patience in that waiting.

       The difference between waiting for change and waiting with patience is that in the latter you have done what is expected of you.You have done your duty.Then one can wait with patience and putting time by one’s side.That can give you better and faster possibilities in life.That way time becomes your partner and helps you reach the desired result.If you have a wish,you should also have patience.Every seed wants to grow,but it is only with patience that it becomes a big tree.

       Normally,however,we are waiting for change which means waiting for someone to bring in that change;for somebody else to come and clean up the mess;for someone else to take the initiative to take positive steps.This is an endless wait.
