Purpose in the Waiting

Published 2024-05-29
Like a little kid excited and waiting for Christmas morning with great anticipation only to be sad when the presents are all opened, stockings are emptied and bedtime arrives once again. We too, can find ourselves wrapped up in waiting for life.
We wait for the next appointment, the next fitting, the next promotion, the next relationship, the next thing to be excited about.
But what about now?
What about the moments that are hard and challenging?

Are you letting life waste away and pass you by while you wait or are you living with intention and purpose?

It’s hard, I understand that. As an amputee we spend the first 2-3 years just waiting on healing, the next socket, the insurance company, the follow-up appointment, refitting, adjustments, etc, etc, etc.

Just when we think we have everything going well with our leg something changes, and we start all over again.

I spent the first 3 1/2 years changing and fluctuating before I got my latest socket which I have been in for over a year. And yet, I still have my moments that are hard and challenging. Isn’t that life?

How about you? What’s got you stuck?
Do you know what you’re living for?

Sometimes the first step in helping ourselves is to think about others and find our purpose in being a help to them.

Finding purpose in your waiting is key to happiness and feeling content. Remember that when you wake, and have breathe in your lungs then you are meant to be here and to make a difference in the world. Go out and seize each day, live your life don’t wait to live it. Tomorrow isn’t promised.

Let your warrior out and rise up!
You deserve to live and be happy, even in the waiting.
