Haste is not progress

PATIENCE UNLOCKS SHUT DOORS

Patience is not inaction, it is the quiet persistence that outlasts resistance, the steady hand that turns the key when the time is right. Every locked door has its season. A seed does not criticise the earth for its slow growth, rather, it trusts that one day it will become a mighty tree. We must understand that not all obstacles responds to force. Some require the subtle strength of an enduring mindset.

Some doors only open to those who are willing to wait. Nature itself obeys this law. The caterpillar does not tear its cocoon prematurely, it patiently waits through the period of metamorphosis for its wings to be fully develop. Impatience can break what patience would have perfected. Even in loss or delay, patience helps us to hear the whispers of disguised opportunities where haste hears only silence.

If we will achieve our dreams, if we will get to our desired destinations, we must be ready, and willing to go through the process, patiently learning every lesson that the process teaches us. Our progress may not always be visible, but the end result will be a proof of what we have been through, and who we have become.

A door that is locked today may swing wide open tomorrow, not by accident, but because you had the courage to stand there until the opportunity was presented, until the moment aligned in your favour. Whenever you are faced with a closed door, do not walk away, do not rage at its stillness. Wait, persist, grow, and when the time comes, you will not just open it, you will step through, ready for what lies beyond, dream come true.

To a better you, Kamikun John.
