Pump Your Brakes: Impatience Gets You Nowhere Real Fast

By on

Living in the Digital Age, information is at an instant. With Pictures, the smartphones, and gaming, we want what we want when we want it.  Instead of biding our time and waiting on what is in store for us, we are rushing and thus getting ourselves into situations we ought not to be in. Then we are that guy or girl complaining on our Facebook or Twitter about past mistakes that would have been avoided simply by waiting.

Pump Your Brakes!  Impatience gets you nowhere real fast.

Experience is the best lesson especially in our romantic relationships but because the “lovey dovey” or honeymoon phase is so great we rush.  People grow or don’t grow and the only way to observe a person’s true behavior or intent is to wait and watch. Any good hunter knows that there is always a lot of sitting and waiting for the right time to pounce on a prey.  Yet, humans are so impulsive that we scoop up the first guy or girl that we believe is Mr. or Ms. Perfect too fast and wonder why the relationship is not all that it’s cracked up to be. (Think about all the fast marriages and divorces out there)

Waiting for the right person should take time because you both need time to gain each others trust.  Trust is not something that can come overnight no matter how good nature a person can be. Life has a funny way of teaches us things to make us grow, but only if we allow ourselves the time for these lessons to play out.

I know the cliché that tell us to “Seize the moment” and “Don’t let opportunities pass you by”, however, there are many things we have not done and we are living just fine.  Additionally, there are more things in your life you made a mistake in for not taking your time.  Waiting provides the opportunity for you to grow and  your other half to mature to a point that is right for you.

Yes, many people who hurried into a relationship through hard work and compromise make it work.  But I am willing to bet they would have loved to know what they know now. Too late for regrets now.

Are you still trying to figure out why you and your ex did not work? You did not wait.  Most relationships after the honeymoon phase or the interview phase is over, go through rough patches because the two finally see who they really have.  The saying Love can conquer all and fortunately, patience is a virtue.  Real life love is the most awesome thing to have in this world.  Honestly, it is worth waiting for.
