Story

Waiting is hard. I’m a rather impatient person, mostly because, in recent years, things are readily available at my fingertips. But it also comes down to real-life situations where I want to know information as soon as someone tells me, “I’ll tell you later.” Or, when I start a rom-com and want to know if the couple ends up together. However, I don’t like spoilers, which is why I think patience is so important - it helps me appreciate the outcome more when it happens.

Patience is a virtue for a reason. While we wait, we have the opportunity to learn more about ourselves, what we hope for and what we want in the long run. Whatever it is that you’re waiting for right now, instead of wanting the time of waiting to end, focus instead on what this time can teach you. We can learn a lot when we’re not impatiently hoping for something to happen. Perhaps this time is meant to guide you to something that will better you later on.

I know it’s hard, but I hope this ZOX encourages you to value this moment of waiting. What can you take away from it? It may just help you down the road.

Be bold,

Landri
