Waiting - nobody likes waiting; it's a good reminder that the lexical root of patience is suffering.
Years ago, the music group "The Byrds" craft a song entitled "To Everything (Turn Turn Turn)".
It should sound familiar to Bible scholars - the message it's pulled straight from Ecclesiastes.
Put another way, everything has a season - the appropriate time for it.
Sometimes you can sense it, sometimes you cannot.
But it's still true.
Similarly, when you make something - a book, a song, a change - it too has seasonal aspects.
A large part of it is the period before the creation.
It is very easy to skip this part - but should be mindfully included.
Because being ready is a powerful part of creating something.
You should be okay gathering the necessary resources and then pausing.
What if your dream opportunity were to show up and, because you prepared and then waited on it, you could achieve it?

some additional thoughts:
- "Living in the suck" is an example of this
- Having a conversation and being in the moment, instead of just waiting to talk, is this too
- One of the hardest things in life is to let someone else tell you when to move - but if sprinters didn't listen, they couldn't compete
