Art of waiting

Waiting is a necessary evil.The ability to wait showcases ones aliveness.It is because nature's way is to wait and give everyone.It is not instantaneous and impatient like the modern mind.

Life's value is in its means and experiences,not in ends and possessions.Once we realise this at experiential level we become masters of art of waiting

This way we can put mind to our best u
