I’m going to go a bit off my normal way of blogging to today
and go about something a little different. I may stray from time to time, off
the beaten path, over the hills, and even maybe to Grandma’s house, but I’ll
try to keep that to a minimum. Today I want to go over something I that can be
seen every single day and effects all of us and that is “Patience”.
Patience is something that, I’ve experienced personally, has
went from a virtue to almost non-existent. In this day and age, now is the
moment, we’re living in it, and everything we want has to be at that moment in
time, now. But good things come to those that wait, so they say. I for one, don’t
like to wait, just like the majority of the human population.
With the mentality of this age, ordering what we want online, not having to go out and pick it up, or purchase and download, it is all in the now. That’s the speed of life I guess but Rome wasn’t built in a day. Unless there’s some sort of time machine that I don’t know about.
So with all this patience that I’m lacking, I’m now slapped with two things. Those things are “Reality” and “Expectations”.
Reality vs. Expectations: Round 1, Fight!
My expectations in everything I do are higher than probably what I should actually build myself up to. Great expectations can be achieved quickly, knocking my patience right out the door. But with great expectations comes great financial backing.
Let me stray over toward the Within Series, my brain child since I was a teenager. I can launch that sucker in a month or so if I had the money to plop down for it. Big shocker here, I’m not a wealthy bloke that can do just that. So instead I have to cut corners and find other methods to continue on my quest of having a novel published. And all that takes time and patience.
Reality vs. Expectations: Round 2, Fight!
So the reality of all this is that I need to wait, which means others will have to wait as well. I may have had the FB Within Page pushed too early. Oh well, it’s there, it makes me feel better, and now it’s time to work on it some more. I hope in the future, before I kick the bucket, that it will all come together the way I expect it to.
Everything takes time, even if I wish it didn’t, and though I want to rush things, I can’t. With other things in life I have noticed, if you rush something, there’s bound to be mistakes that you hadn’t anticipated. Take your time, ease into it, because sometimes you might want to look into the river before you jump in. You never know how deep it really is or isn’t.

I battle with patience too brother. I have no doubt that you will succeed in your plans with your very wonderful brain child. I just hope you will gimme an autograph. If you need anything let me know.
