Sometimes in life we are so impatient and wanting things when we want it. We don't realize that some things we need to wait for, and the wait is worth it at times...

While I do agree with you that there are times that it is worth the wait, there are also times that the wait that we have to go through is something that is very painful to us. For example, I had my first pregnancy (miscarriage) when I was nineteen years old. I was so very excited about that child and then when I lost him, I was crushed. I had to go through another three years of my life wondering about the what ifs and such. Yes, I wouldn't trade Kathryn for the world, but I wish that I had her brother as well.

I went through it too, I know how hard that is. We wanted a child SOOOOOO bad, and we could not pregnant for the longest time, over a year. We finally got pregnant and we lost the child 3 months into the pregnancy. =( I thought it would never happen, I thought we would never have children because we had that miscarriage. Looking back now though I realize we were not really ready at that time for a child...We thought we were but I know now that we weren't. So when our daughter finally came it was the biggest Blessing and very worth the wait! I turn that negative into something positive. Yes I had a miscarriage, yes it was the most difficult time in our lives BUT we now have 3 amazing children who were VERY worth the wait!

Yeah LovingMyBabies, there would be something worth to wait in our daily life. If we have some things to get busy with time would pass fast unconsciously. Let say we must be patient to wait for months to see a new born baby. We need to be patient to wait for our loved one to be back. We have to wait for the fruit tree to grow, bloom, bear fruit, ripe, etc. We would be in great pleasure to see the fruitful harvest we have been waiting for Happy posting

Well one example I have is when I was younger, we wanted a child so badly. I thought it would never happen because we had a miscarriage. We tried over a year so it was heart breaking when we lost that child. At the time we could not understand why we lost that child... Looking back now though I realize we were not really ready at that time for a child...We thought we were but I know now that we weren't. So when our daughter finally came it was the biggest Blessing and very worth the wait! And now we have 3 beautiful children. They were most definitely worth the wait.

As the saying goes...patience is a virtue. And I think the meaning of this has been lost to many people, specially the young ones. There's always the sense of being the center of the universe, and that if they want something, they want it right away, right now. When in fact, the wait itself makes something that we strive for even worth it.

Like some would say, “Patience is a virtue” don’t rush on things most especially in making decisions because you never know if you will regret it in the end. Waiting is somehow putting up a time in deciding on some thoughts in life, and it will help you think more on its positive and negative outcome.

yes, this is very nice analysis. If we bake a cake, if we won't wait for the right timing, otherwise, our cake will be half cooked and with over the time, it will be burned. but with the right timing, our cake, will just be right for dessert. As compared to our decision making, then, having a right decision on the right time, then it will surely make a the right one.

That is true like with a cake we need to have the right time in our lives for certain things...

waiting is bored job and some person really hated if need to wait, some people didnt have patience enough to wait even to wait for the important things. Even this will chance their life, may be if they have patience enough to wait they will got great chance for their life. It's reality world which is everyone need everything with very fast and instant like fastfood, ordered and one minutes the food is in our table with our menu that we ordered.

I admit sometimes u feel u r doing nothing but wait, and it is a wast of time, u feel anxious because ur dream is still so far away from and all u can do is just wait. but I believe as long as u do something to prepare bricks for the dream,though it seems that u didn't make a step at all, but oneday, the success of the dream will surprise u. I believe!

THe wait certainly is worthwhile. Hard but worth it. Have to keep busy and find other things to think about. Not always easy.

You are bang on target! Patience is a virtue which is fast getting lost. We want everything in an instant. The flashy car, the white collar job, a great girlfriend and things of that sort. It's about time we realized that the wait adds to the value of the prize.

That's true we always want things now but sometimes its worth the wait... The first time we tried having a child I had a miscarriage, we kept trying and I had a lot of trouble getting pregnant. But once I finally did have my daughter it was so worth the wait! We treasure all of our kids that much more because we didn't think it would ever happen for us...

That's true! But sometimes there are just things that we are so anxious about that we would really want to know about it or get hold of it right away. And the waiting sometimes is killing me! But, of course, it doesn't have to be always on my terms.....

Well a show I watched online made me think of this discussion... And it reminded me of a time in my life when I was super impatient. My husband and I tried for a year to have a child. I had a miscarriage and could not get pregnant again after for a while. So when we did finally have kids it made them that much more special to us.

It's so true. You cherish those things for which you have to wait and struggle more, because those are not guaranteed and you know what it's like without them... and you know how much you did to get them. It was the same with me with love. Everyone had boyfriends around me at 13-14, yet no proper guy was interested in me until I was 22, more close to 23. It was hard, and I felt so miserable... but it's been worth the wait. I've been together with my fiancé for almost 9 months now, and... it's better, because this way I can truly appreciate someone next to me and holding me in his arms... yset other people do all that drama and make the life of their "loved one" miserable, because they don't know what it's like to lose someone or have no one to love, until their beloved gets fed up and throws them out... at least I know better know, to appreciate true love.

Yes for me, it was getting pregnant. I had a miscarriage before we had our oldest daughter. We tried for a long time after that to have kids and we were not getting pregnant. It took over a year to finally have our daughter, so it was that much more special having her because it was so worth the wait! =) If we didn't have that waiting time we might not have felt it was as special as it became the day we had her! We called her our miracle baby.

I agree with you. I was impatient when I was young hoping to meet that special person and get married, have kids, etc... It just didn't happen right away when I thought it would or should have. So I guess it took a while and patience for me to meet my husband. Totally worth the wait though : )
• Valdosta, Georgia

Exactly, its worth the wait! My husband I tried for a year to have a child. I had a miscarriage and then I didn't get pregnant for a while after so we thought we would never have kids. But apparently it just wasn't the right time and when we finally had our kids it made them that much more special to us.

Yes some things are worth waiting for. I have gone to that same experience and it is one of the greatest feeling that still exists in this world. Once you get hold of your dream, you should never let it go and you should guard it with your soul all the way through. God is good all the time.

Yes that is true. We have to be patient and wait. And it's worth the waiting often times. When we always hurry something goes wrong. Patience has its rewards in time.

I do get impatient with the things I want but don't really need at the moment because of anxiety. I'm too happy in having the money that I'm able to buy it right away but due to being impatient, I buy it when they can become cheap if I wait. Sometimes, I need the money for something more important than the thing I don't really need at the moment.

Yes I think waiting for the right time is key in most things. When I first wanted a child I got impatient with waiting because we had a miscarriage. But now that I look back, I know we were not really ready for a child. Our oldest daughter was definitely worth the wait...

Being an Aries I have no patience with much stuff. Like right now I want a car, I want to move, I want a new computer, and I don't want to wait. I hate the idea that I have to save up when I only get paid once a month. It's just so hard to do. All I have to say is, sometimes it's not worth the wait so I'd rather find out rather quickly, lol!

I understand, we all want things right now. Of course I am guilty of it too. But sometimes its true that the best things in life are worth waiting for... With myself it was getting pregnant for the first time. With having a miscarriage before my oldest I thought the time would never come for us to have a child. I was so impatient but now looking back I realize we were not ready in any sense of the word at that time. So my daughter was definitely worth waiting for! =-) Now we have 3 kiddos when I didn't ever think we would have one! Lol.

i could feel your discussion with my emotional disposition to work and career. i would like to wait for the right time, but the system in which we operate is designed to make anything in the least of time we possibly can. efficiency is the rule of thumb in this capitalistic society that we have. unless we do away with the system, yeah, it is always worth to wait. but hey wait, how long are we going to wait?

Yeah it is good to be patient and wait for things. At the end we are usually happy to have waited for what we want or the results we are looking for. Has something happened for you that you are happy about?
• Valdosta, Georgia

It was actually inspired by a show I was watching and then I thought about my own life. Like with my first pregnancy, I had a miscarriage but I know we weren't really ready for a child yet at that time. Once we were ready and had our first daughter it was SO worth the wait, even though at the time the wait felt like forever!

I do agree to a point I suppose... Getting there is half the fun - figuratively. However now and again waiting seem to make some things an anti-climaz

Well with me in my life, I was thinking of having children. I wanted a child so bad and we had a miscarriage. I thought we would never have a kid. But now looking back I realize we were just not ready at that time for a child. When my oldest was born I realized she was SO worth the wait!

Yes you are right, we should have patients, in waiting for thing, I have put in for and apartment, through housing, and I haven't heard anything, from them yet the lady told me, it would be 60 days, before I heard anything, my time still isn't up yet, well to, I applied for, this other apartment, that has it's own section 8, and the lady in the rental office, told me I will get a letter, from them in 2 weeks telling me what number I will be on their waiting list, and if I have interview, with them what I am to bring with me, I will wait this out because, I really want to move out of my, niece house this year.
