All things take time.

Seeds germinate over time resulting in a harvest. The growth process is rarely evident. All things must be nourished before they grow to full bloom.  Nourishing for growth is a timely exercise.  There will be times, when despite your best efforts  and timely commitment,  it appears if nothing is happening. It is easy to give up, especially when one cannot see physical proof of progress or growth.

Just because you can’t see it does not mean it’s not happening.

When a baby develops in the womb the mother cannot see the developing form. She cannot pinpoint the exact moment when the heart has fully developed and begun to beat, or the brain, or limbs gain full functionality.  She must simply trust the process. Although she may not see it, it is occurring every second,  minute, and hour.Cells are replicating and growth is taking place. It is her nourishment that is catalyzing the process. She cannot simply cease to nourish herself although there is no evidence of growth or the benefit of her nourishment.

Don’t Rush 

You simply can not rush the process. Things happen in their own time. When one rushes birth the offspring is often born pre-mature. That new birth cannot sustain itself on its own. The odds of survival decrease significantly. One must be patient with the process to ensure a beautiful and glorious birth . This does not mean remaining stagnant. It simply means to continue to nourish and develop that within until the season for fulfillment has come. Many times people do not get the things they most desire because either they are not ready for them or it  is simply not their time.

Developing Patience

Patience is an attribute that  many people lack or only have in small doses. Like any other skill, attribute, or character trait, and patience can be developed. Anything can be developed with deliberate attentiveness and practice.

Learn to be patient in small things. Remember, one cannot be entrusted with bigger things until they have gained mastery of the small. It will take time to develop patience. However, it is an attribute worth fostering and developing.
