....are worth waiting for. Or so I was told as a child. As adult, I have to say it really is true.
Today, however, in all areas of life it seems that we are truly the microwave people. If we can't push a button and make it work or take a pill and make it better there is something seriously wrong. But, is that really the way it is?
Take for example a baby learning to crawl, they often go backwards before they go forward. This learning process takes months, because it begins by holding up your head, using and strengthening your arms, then legs and back. Finally at approximately 9 months the baby begins to crawl forward and is so very happy with himself.
Building a home, creating a lasting relationship, growing vegetables or flowers are all things that, amongst many others, require time and patience, effort and endurance. A quote from a blog I read earlier today "[there is] little in life of considerable value [that is] is done fast". And, "we can also admit there's so much good we cannot hurry." ,And this is the best quote"Geological time evaluates accomplishment by lifetimes, not by minutes, reminding us that we can save the nanoseconds and waste the years."
The same is true of birth, it takes time and energy; there are plateaus and times when labor moves fast. With prodromal labor it can take days for baby and pelvis to meet up well.
So perhaps its time to repeat this phrase over and over again and make it part of your everyday language once again.
The best things in life ARE worth waiting for!
