The most significant thing I realized is that waiting is a creative action in itself… it creates more waiting. I had gotten comfortable in the waiting, became complacent and accepting of whatever came along even if it wasn’t what I really desired. That realization inspired this poem:
Trust your inner knowing
Waiting is creating
It creates more waiting
Action for the sake of action
Is not productive either
What might happen
If your main action was
Inspired excitement
Towards what you love and
Have joy in doing
You can choose
To shift your energy
To intentionally create
What you desire
If deciding what you desire
Becomes a stumbling block
Reframe it as an exercise
In having fun
Just get started
Write something down
The universe is limitless
You can be too
The days and years
Pass rapidly
Whether or not
You enjoy them
Why not live
An inspired life
Filled with love
And joy
