The Universe Has You In Time-Out Because You Need Rest

To be your best self, you must embrace the in-between.

We all have times when we feel like life is stagnant. Nothing is happening. We aren’t moving forward. We aren’t making progress in anything we want to achieve. As impatient beings who rarely have the ability to see past the veil of time that is constantly shrouding our lives, we get frustrated. All of us. I have been in this kind of limbo for about a month.

How easily I forget that just before this period in my life, things moved suddenly and swiftly. It was fun! But life can’t always be moving fast.

Existence requires periods of rest.

As humans, we easily forget that patience is a great virtue. Being bored is a negative reaction to a great opportunity to simply do nothing and see what happens. The mind doesn’t need constant distractions. The body can’t always be moving, either. Try taking a moment, an hour, a day, or a week to have nothing happen and wait for the next surprise. Welcome that period of inactivity, for it is a natural part of life.

Cycles of nature always include periods of inactivity.
