Remember when you were a kid and you couldn’t wait for
Christmas to get here? You probably
drove your parents nuts asking when it would really be Christmas. I bet you can remember that feeling of waiting with anticipation.
These days, as adults, it seems we mostly wait for things with reluctance. We hope that someday things will get better,
but we really don’t expect them to. If our “someday” is not today, it’s easy to get discouraged, or even mopey. Then we begin waiting with reluctance, and
forget that life is lived in the moment.
The experience of waiting
expectantly is very different than waiting without hope or purpose. You can still live in the moment while waiting with anticipation, but not while
waiting with reluctance.
If it feels like mere word play, it isn’t. Your attitude shifts perceptibly when you’re anticipating
positive change. If you’re waiting with
anticipation, the waiting can be almost as fun as what you’re waiting for. The waiting is a pregnant moment, and
it’s very real and right now.

What if you made a conscious decision to wait expectantly
for whatever it is you’re so passionate about.
If it’s in the forefront of your oh-so-positive mind, it makes more
sense that you will take the steps needed to bring your dreams around. The DOING also keeps you in the moment.
Waiting with
anticipation is what keeps us alive, moving forward and vibrant. What
are you waiting expectantly for? I’d
love to hear about it. Please feel free
