I'm impatient too. Here's what I keep reminding myself.

how to rebrand waiting so it doesn't suck so much

Look, I get it, we are all impatient. You’re talking to the queen of the rush!

But something that’s starting to become more and more obvious as I get deeper into my thirties is that the payoff often comes from the patience.

Corny, but true. (Sorry. I had to make it rhyme so it can stick.)

The payoff lies in the patience.

If real life were like the masterpiece show THE GOOD PLACE, and everyone got everything they wanted the moment they wanted it, we would all be zombies without any worthwhile pursuit! Even though it sounds amazing in theory, I think we can all agree it would probably get old pretty quick.

Now, I dislike waiting as much as the next person. But what if we reframed it from passing the time—which feels…wasteful— to using the time for becoming, creating and aligning.

You’re not just waiting to be discovered. You’re becoming the master of your craft so that when you do get your big break, you’re THAT person.

You’re not just letting time slip away until your dream job, home, partner, mental health state miraculously finds you. You’re actively looking for these opportunities and reminding yourself how worthy you are of them.

You’re not just doom-scrolling on Zillow to judge homes that are 10x your budget. (Money doesn’t buy taste, am I right?) You’re learning the market and manifesting the mansion, so that when the right one drops you’re ready to move (pun intended.)

All that to say that sometimes good things do take time, and that’s ok.

(Even though some haters in my comments have told me that I’m spreading a “limiting belief”. LOL. Heaven forbid a girl have any sense of groundedness in reality! I’m all for some delulu, but denial is never helpful.)

There’s nothing wrong with things taking time to fall into place, or you taking time to become the person who can attract and sustain the desires you have brewing. The problems only come when YOU make time passing MEAN that something is wrong.

“It’s taking too long, that must mean it’s not meant to be.”

“If it hasn’t happened yet, it probably never will.”

RUBBISH!

Imagine if I gave up on the book that took me nearly TEN YEARS to ideate, write, and get published because it was taking “too long”? Then nobody would get to read all my manifesting secrets and you’d just be left shaking your fists up at the universe in frustrating for your lack of results.

WHY UNIVERSE, WHY?!

It’s time to stop thinking about time as a liability, and start thinking of it as an asset.

Deep breath and repeat after me:

I have time.
It will come together in perfect time.
My dreams are worth waiting for.
I am worthy and trusting.

Until next chat,
Kelsey
