If you knew you had to wait for a few hours before having an extremely important meeting, what would you do to occupy the time?

Because it goes against human nature to be patient, many people would spend the time whinging & moaning about the need to wait for what they thought should have been a straightforward meeting. Some would spend the time worrying about whether the meeting will still take place, whilst some would impatiently leave to do “other things”.

It’s one thing to be sure of the meeting itself. It’s another thing to Buy-in to the waiting process.

Life’s opportunities present themselves in phases, and most times, the time lapse between one phase and another can seem like an eternity. In such cases, one is tempted to moan, get annoyed, be unnecessarily anxious or even abort mission and move on to something “easier” and “more straightforward”.

In our process of waiting, there is joy to be had when we learn to appreciate the NOW, when we enjoy the free time we have, when we make full access of the resources we have access to now. Because a time will come when the meeting will be had-the next phase will begin. Will you regret not making the most of your NOW?

There is a region in Alaska where prolonged periods of darkness are experienced for up to 67 days in a row!

The “meeting” will take place soon. Be patient, but more importantly, accept and willingly make the most of the process and your NOW. Sleep more! Read more! Learn more! Let’s learn the art of Buying into the Buy-In.
