Is it possible, that doing NOTHING can make your life easier?

I woke up this morning with this thought on my mind. I had been allowing myself to be emotional about my circumstances and therefore affected my decision-making with a few things. Have you ever done that? Alright, we're on the same boat now. And if you haven't just stick around for me to share something with you. I had been working on a project for the past few weeks, well a few months for that matter. I had been so frustrated with how they were all turning out. Some I had started a few months back and there were things that were just wasn't moving forward. Boy, I tell you! In my mind, I was thinking all sort of things. When am I going to see the result of what I've been investing in all this while? Why are things taking so long? So recently, I've been slowly starting to see changes. Small ones. Then another part of me started to kick in. I was now wishing for things to happen faster. I don't want to wait any longer. I didn't want to wait for tommorow, much less next week. I had been waiting for all this while I have to see my dreams coming true. Right. Now. Enough already!! Can you see where I'm going with this? Do you have a word for that sort of behaviour? What would you call it? I'd called it ungrateful! Wow, that's too strong. Nope, I had started to become ungrateful with my thoughts and actions. Even more so, impatient because although things are starting to slowly change. I was fed up with waiting any longer. But should I be happy that things were changing? Yes, I should have and I was indeed. But I wanted things to be done on my watch. Can you imagine? At first, things weren't going anywhere. Now things are slowly starting to change I was still complaining. To be honest, I wouldn't even think I was complaining looking back. I thought I was being reasonable. So going back to the question I used to title this post. Is it possible that doing nothing can make your life better? And my answer is yes! One hundred percent. Let me explain. I learnt from this experience that I have no control over what life throws at me. I have none. You have none. If we did, we all would have been living our best life a long time ago. We wouldn't have to wait for anything. All we would do is click our fingers and it would be like magic. It would become reality in the blink of an eye. But how would we learn the values and principles that can only be learnt unless we experience some hard moments? Moments of impatience. Moments of despair. Moments of not knowing what will happen later today much less tommorow. How will we learn that those moments come to test our resolve and our ability to withstand difficulties? We would have nothing to teach our children and those around us. We would hardly have a 'come to Jesus' moment because we wouldn't need to call on his name for anything. It still amazes me that when anything frightens us, shock us or startle us 'God' or 'Jesus Christ' is the first thing we say? Have you ever thought about it? Even if some of us claim we don't believe in them. We still call on those names. Why? Because as high and mighty we think we are, we can't do anything by ourselves. We humans must seek something much Bigger than ourselves to feel safe and to be at peace. So that when we come to the end of ourselves. Someone else more Sovereign is there to take the wheel. So on that note, sometimes all we have to do is nothing. Simply stay still. Trust and keep our peace. Because that is what we all seek. Inner peace. Not something that will end in a few minutes or hours. But that constant peace that whatever is happening or not happening...yet. We will still be able to sleep at night. Now, what better assurance is that than worrying about tommorow, when we don't even have the power to decide when or how we leave this earth? Even so, are you ready? Will you be prepared? Until next time, find peace in answering those questions for yourself.
