Be Patient

Sometimes we get anxious about the future. We may be feeling a transition coming on. A change in a job, maybe even a career, or looking at retirement. Don't settle for a short-term fix when the end game is what really matters. Trust that there may be something better out there for you but it will happen when the time is right.

What you are doing now is preparing you for that something better and it (the present moment) must finish its work in you as it prepares you and helps you become better.

So...stay the course and give your best today where you are because where you today needs the best you. If there is to be something better it won't happen without you doing what you need to do well today.

In short, be present in this moment. It is the one that matters.
