When the action is patience

If you are a grower and a mover, and you feel excited about what you are creating, you might notice a pull to rush or even escape the discomfort of the pauses the creative process inevitably requires.

If you find yourself looking for the next action to take and you notice too much resistance, it could be that it is time to be patient. Your choice to be patient might seem like a non-action, yet you are holding active space. Patience is our ability to allow things to be as they are while still staying connected to our vision. It is also the practice of humility as it is an excellent way to remind yourself that there is something bigger than you at play, and your job is often to let that thing do its work.

Is there a place in your life where patience might be the next action?
