Waiting

  
"What advantage could there possibly be in making decisions when you are not certain? What advantage could there be in basing your decision on anything other than having clarity? It doesn't make sense to be impulsive just because it is so habitual for the majority of the population to do that. After all, the thing that is driving this impulsive decision-making is the terror of uncertainty. Do you really want that to be the basis of your decisions and actions? Of course not!

Waiting is truly a spiritual practice because so often the reason you are not waiting is that if you did wait, you would have to face some pretty uncomfortable feelings that would come up during the waiting. Some of us are addicted to our impulsivity even though it perpetually causes us suffering."
