Learn to wait

Wait. The most important learning in life. It’s a wise saying: Jam yesterday, jam tomorrow, no jam today.

When we aim high, when we yen something, when we struggle hard, when we pour all, and as a result when we don’t get anything, what would be the situation of mind.

Anyone can lose heart, lose hope and give up. It's natural. In such distressing moments, God wants us to learn the importance of waiting.

Longing is the most difficult situation for a man. When a man loses faith, none can help him. So in the hankering situation, be calm. Keep faith and hope in mind. Never let them go down.

Initially, when we saw a seed we care a lot. We pour water, give fertilizer, spread medicines, we do everything for it to grow. But if we lose hope and give up a halfway, we won’t get fruits out of it. So the way is: have hope and keep on putting efforts.

If we see with a positive eye, there is a joy hidden in every condition. Man must learn how to find it. We can enjoy difficulties. We grow and be strong through sorrows and sufferings. A man who has never dealt with sorrows has never tasted life in a real way. It teaches us to aim high.

Here is a little sweet poem about it. It gives me hope in difficulties. It teaches me to wait, have hope and faith, and never give up.

Here it is:

Learn to wait - life’s hardest lesson

Conned, perchance, through blinding tears;

While the heart throbs sadly echo

To the tread of passing years.

Learn to wait - hope’s slow fruition;

Faint not, though the way seems long;

There is joy in each condition;

Hearts through suffering may grow strong,

This a soul untouched by sorrow

Aims not at a higher state;

Joy seeks not a brighter morrow;

Only sad hearts learn to wait.

Meaning:

Learn to wait. It's life’s great lesson. People may have deceived us. We may see only possibilities but no surety. We may cry due to cruel circumstances. Our hearts may throw a sad echo of our frail experience. In such breaking moments, learn to wait. Slowly but surely hope will give us fruits.

Never fade away, though the way seems very long. Try to find joy in every condition. Learn, improve and rejoice. Difficulties and failures are making us strong. Even the poet is saying that who has not been through sorrows and sufferings, can’t aim high. Those who enjoy superficially never get a brighter future. Only a heart who passed through sadness can learn to wait.

A long, dark and deep night is a sign of magnificent sunrise. Have hope, have faith, put efforts and wait till the end.
