So much of life is involved in waiting. It’s an excellent opportunity to develop our patience towards the uncontrollable facets of our lives and, as you point out, begin to perceive that we live in the now, the future past. We need to take advantage of it and make our best choices so that once it’s behind us we don’t regret it.
I completely agree. Waiting can be frustrating, but it can also be an opportunity for personal growth and reflection. Some things are out of our control, it's easier to develop our mind to learn from these situations. By being mindful we can live fully in the present and reduce the likelihood of regret in the future. Thank you Thomas for sharing your insightful perspective.
Before I recently moved to be closer to work, I was commuting about 1.5-hour each way to work and was constantly sitting in traffic. I was so frustrated with the waiting at first, but then I decided to just embrace the time I have with myself on the road. The time seemed more enjoyable after I started to binge-listen to podcast series. It's all about how we make the most out of a situation that we cannot otherwise change.
It's true that there are times we can't change our circumstances, but that doesn't mean we have to indulge in the negative vibes. We can change our mindset and how we approach those situations. It's wonderful that you found a way to make the most out of your commute time by listening to podcasts. It's amazing how much we can learn from one another and grow. Keep up the positive attitude Yuezhong!
I always find that spending time with myself and clarifying my thoughts is always worth it in the long run. It's never too late to start such a routine. I am glad you found my writing useful. Thank you KSHERNANADEZ!
