I’ve
known for a long time that I can’t immediately have all the things I want, but
I also know that I, and all of us, can instantly have, almost at the snap of our
fingers, the really important things. Take kindness, for instance. All we have
to do is truly want to be kind, and presto, kindness is there inside us like a breeze
filling us full of its helpful spirit. Of course, we have to accept it and be
willing to work with its powers, but kindness is always there for us, ready,
right now, to show its invincible spirit to the world. And patience -- it, too,
has all its gentle forces stored inside us, ready to be released to do its soft
work on our behalf. We can have patience immediately, instantaneously, as much
as we need, always, without end. Of course, we can deny this. We can say other
people might have patience and kindness, but not me – and then we’re simply
shutting the door on a fortune. It’s like standing beside bags of gold and refusing
to see them.
