Odds are we spend so much time looking for the next thing we miss the now thing. I often wonder why that is. I believe it is because we have constantly been filled with a fallacy that there is more to life than what we already have. In reality this is life. Every minute, every second, every moment we are living and we are witnessing miracles. Yet we believe we are suppose to witness some huge life changing moment. Is it possible that we are to witness every small life changing moment that we thinking nothing about? I don’t know if we are or if we are not. This is patience in its truest form. It’s experiencing, not just passing time to get to a moment that more than likely will let us down. And then there will be one moment that will just touch your life forever. It will happen in one of two ways: one it will be a moment that yourself will have a discovery within that you are enough and a discovery of your true”ness”; and the second will be a moment that you never thought would happen. You will meet this one person that you will think of every moment of the day. Now there is a third moment… it is one moment that only happens once, maybe twice in a lifetime. The moment that you think of someone every moment of the day and something phenomenal happens… they too are thinking of you every moment of the day. Until this phenom happens… do not let now slip through your fingers. Let now become your glory. Let now be your patience. Let now be your life.

passing by
As our days pass by... the interesting thing is that our life too is passing by. We often reach these points in our life and ask what is our purpose. We often think we must continue to thirst for more knowledge. But knowledge to is a tangible item. We must understand there are various types of knowledge. Knowledge is our talents and knowledge is truth of what is real and what is happening. "Our life passes by even as if it were a dream..." "Trust not in the arm of flesh". Who can we trust in? "The Kingdom of God is within us". "We believe in worshiping God Almighty according the dictates of our own conscience". "Know that I am God through stillness". Who can we trust??? Our God-self, our God.

Patience and living
When you think about it patience is our life. Without patience you’re in a rush to somewhere as if there is an arrival. But it’s in your travel that you will live your life. Patience can have many different meanings, they all lead back to one root source, which is knowledge. Knowledge is the key to a man’s salvation. It’s taught in the holy scriptures, in the Koran, and everyman with wisdom has sought this fulfillment through knowledge. But where does the knowledge come from? That is where patience comes in. Often time we hear someone say “you have to have a lot of patience with him”. What do you even mean by that is my questions? Because he may not have discovered his true”ness” as of yet? Or maybe you also have not yet discovered your true”ness”. Or maybe he has discovered his and you do not understand or cannot see in side of his world. Patience is the path to knowledge. A man with patience will remove himself from the action for a portion and evaluate what is going on in all realms of his life. Often times we get so caught up in living life we forget to make the minor adjustments. I guess that’s where God comes in and humbles us with some discontent until we finally realize, ok… something has to change. The patience then steps in when we find out the a missing link to our development of talents. Patience is asking the question “What is God trying to teach me right this moment?” And the more you ask yourself that questions and seek to apply his direct communication with you, the more you are applying patience and not fretting about the situation nor the destination, but you are then living life. As your days pass by, so does your life.
