Your impulsiveness can dishearten you today, as you may question whether your customary mindfulness has deserted you. Yet the spur of the moment personal and professional decisions you are making are likely the result of impatience rather than a lack of awareness. You can thus curb this newly developed impetuousness by reminding yourself that a measure of the joy of being lies in watching the journey unfold. If you choose to be patient today, you will likely enjoy watching everything that once worried you begin to fall into place. Though the realization of your dreams may still be far off, other areas of your life will no doubt occupy your attention in the interim.

When we have a long-term goal we wish to pursue, we must be willing to pursue the aim we have in mind patiently and with great perseverance. However eager we are to reach the endpoint of our journey, our potential for success likely hinges on our readiness to face the many challenges we will encounter. Our lives will unfold as they will whether we rush to achieve our desires or adopt a more leisurely approach to accomplishment. If we allow ourselves to proceed at the pace the universe has chosen, we will find that we need not push against obstacles or fight the tide. Going with the flow means being ready to wait if necessary, but we can handle this because we know that goodness is in store for us. Today, curbing your impulsiveness will help you find your way on the path of goal realization.
