It seems like, at least for the past few days, my patience has been tested in so many different ways.
The way life works for the most part is you can’t actually have it when you want it. Most of the time the timing itself does not work out or there is some other conflict. So what do you do? Keep working for it.
Luck is what happens when preparation and opportunity meet. You get lucky when you have put in the blood, sweat, and tears into something and you are ready for the opportunity to show your stuff. But, I feel as of late, I have forgotten how important that equation is. How important that hours of preparation are to making your life unfold before your eyes.
I believe we were all given these gifts – gifts in a special combination that no one else in the world could possibly have. To wait around for a sign or a clear path is a waste of the gifts themselves. We truly are all people of decision. No one else makes decisions for us, because in the end, we are the only one that presses the go or no go button. So you can’t really wait to make your dreams happen. You can’t really wait to be the type of person you have always wanted to be. You can’t wait for the friends. You can’t wait for the material goods. You have to go out there and create them. Because they are there waiting for you, but you have to get past the obstacle of your mind before you can go out there and bring them into your life.

Great timing, needed those inspirational words…
Your blog made me inspired to blog where I am at being Lucky Luck’lucky of Luck Street, Luckland http://eclecticx.wordpress.com/2013/02/27/lucky-lucklucky-of-luck-street-luckland/
I am not in that place you talk of “Luck”. You could perhaps describe this place as [Still going through the patiently learning and waiting for myself to be ready to get up and go get (what ever it is I need getting). I am not lost or found, just here and in the now. I am the person I want to be for this moment. In every moment I have all that I need in a thought of thankfulness. If I need a friend, I am one. It works for me always.

Inspirational. And even more so the second or third time you read it.
So relevant and so inspirational.
Great post that couldn’t have come at a better time. Congrats on the new book! 🙂
Evan, this is absolutely amazing and so spot on. What a realistic post… 🙂
sometimes
I’ve been patient
as I persevere
struggle
towards a goal

and I wander
should I be learning
about flexibility
changing
shifting
my focus
instead of being patient
Very inspiring post. I agree completely. Life is too short to wait for things to happen, you really do have to make the decision to go after the life you want and make things happen. No one can do this for you, you have to do it for yourself.
I love the quote.

Thank you, Evan. This is so true. I have been guilty of judgement, when I am no different or better than the worst of the worst.
