Waiting - A memorable gift

I have been waiting from a very long time for this moment. Though I have succeeded; there is this disturbing thought, what if this had happened a long time ago. Why all this waiting, there are people who have achieved this mark much earlier and easily. Does it mean that I am less talented or i have taken too much time to reach this point. So, " to wait or not to wait" is the question here.


Before I go one with the topic on discussion, there might be some people wondering what is that I have succeeded in or waited for. 


I am not going to discuss that here, it would narrow done the topic to me and would distract. Don't worry there will be enough sugar in this coffee(topic), i am serving you. Keep stirring the coffee to get the best taste.


Awe !!! thank you
I can hear someone telling me "they are diabetic and shouldn't have sugar", for them this ain't that sugar.

In today's technological era, there is a scintillating sequencing of spadework to the serendipity of sprightly survival. Yet there is something we miss out and that is the waiting. Waiting is considered as being slow, less efficient and non productive; There are lot of articles, ads and quotes supporting this notion. Some people even consider waiting to be total waste of time and you have to move ahead and stay ahead of the world to be successful. According to them you are outdated if you wait and the whole world would have moved on.


Yes !! dogs have evolved while you waited.
These notions are too pushy and you might just not enjoy as you mean it; rather by others definition to live and enjoy life. On the go you might be thinking that you are really enjoying what you are doing, but it might not be really enjoyment.


Should you not enjoy the essence of fun in whatever that you do?  Should you not take a moment to look where you are heading? Should you not live your life than survive? We are becoming more like machines, that gives an out put as per the definition provided.

So what has the waiting got to do? is the question to be answered. And the answer is waiting has everything to do with it. Waiting is a gift, a time space provided to realize who your are and what you are doing. Waiting is the time that you live in and not just survive. 

Lets take some of the scenarios where we waited, yet we lived a moment for ourselves.

  1. You woke up late and you are very close to being late. Swiftly getting ready; you drove towards your office but got held-up in traffic signal and there is 60 sec to green. In this moment of waiting you would have taken your first breathe of the day, which solely meant for you and you felt it consciously.
  2. There is a misunderstanding between you and your loved one; he/she is accusing you, yet you chose not to hurt them verbally and remained silent. Here you have provided a time space for yourself and your loved one to make things right by waiting. What could be more joyful than living a moment of togetherness with the loved one.
  3. A baby is struggling to stand and walk; the baby falls down in every try. Yet you chose to wait for the baby to walk on his/her own.
  4. While you watch a game you wait for the game to complete. The wait for the result that carried an uncertainty  made the game worthwhile. What if  you didn't have to wait to see the result, you would have missed the ultimate reason why games were designed; which is the fun of the game.
  5. As someone grows old and is almost too weak to do anything, he/she waits for the death and wouldn't prefer to R.I.P just then. You might ask why to live, if you cant do anything, or should you ask. 
The living part isn't complete if there is no waiting. Waiting has a special taste to deliver which you would remember till the end of your life. So enjoy the moment of wait, waiting is a gift full of surprises. Waiting isn't bad after all, Waiting is the complete life. I am not being rude here but if you still say you don't like waiting, You should have probably died the moment you were born, as we all wait to die and we live waiting. Live the moment of waiting and remember it to the rest of your life.
