The Weight Of The Wait

The Struggle Of Having Patience When The Goal Is So Clear

Have you ever had a goal that was so clear to you...

You could see it...

Feel it...

Taste it?

Even in the moments where there is not a guarantee of it...

But you just...

Know?

That can be one of the most intense feelings...

Knowing...

But not yet attaining.

It is made worse...

When there is a gap between where you are...

And that end that has become so clear in your mind.

There is the weight of the wait.

It can be one of the most overbearing feelings imaginable.

There have been so many people that I have encountered over the years...

Who could not handle that weight.

It crushed them completely...

In many different ways.

For some people...

They could not handle the wait...

Having the patience to see it all the way to completion.

The wait was too long for them.

For others...

They begin to become impatient...

And start to push harder...

Take shortcuts...

And inevitably they make mistakes...

Decimating the possibilities of what once seemed so clear.

When you are faced with the weight of the wait...

How will you react?

But we have not even gotten into the worst form of this...

When you have the clear picture of the end...

But with a completely unknown timeframe.

This is one of the most difficult forms of it...

Because we as humans like certainty...

We want certainty.

We want to know how long it will take...

We want to be able to see the end.

Even just a guess to how long things will take could provide so much hope.

But sometimes...

There is no guess...

There are no estimates...

Only deep and unending questions and variables.

Often these exist...

Because no one...

Not even those who are considered the top experts...

Have the answers.

But even within these types of situations...

Sometimes we can gain that clear picture of what the end will be like.

However...

When they end is both perfectly clear and existing in an indeterminable amount of time...

Like an unknown path that must be walked while blindfolded...

How long will you go?

Will you continue to walk down that path without sight?

Will you be able to trust yourself that somehow...

Someway...

You will make your way forward...

Against all odds...

And find that end that you so clearly have in your mind?

How many steps can you take...

With no clue of what you will step on or in next?

Or whether it will be the step you have been hoping for?

How many days can you continue forth?

Weeks?

Months?

Years?

Decades?

How long will you continue toward that future?

Will you be able to handle the weight that gets added with each step?

The weight of hope being stretched more thin?

The weight of another step needed?

The weight of others questioning why you would ever take that path?

The weight of doubt that creeps in...

Causing us to question if we truly saw the end...

Or if it was a mirage...

A hallucination...

A demon sent to torture us by dangling this illusion in front of us...

A trap designed to pursue a hopeless cause?

Will you be able to handle the growing weight that sits upon your shoulders?

Starting as light as a feather...

Turning into a brick...

Then an elephant...

Until it feels like the entire world sits upon you?

Most people say that they have what it takes...

But few really understand how great the weight can become.

Do not be surprised or caught off guard...

But the weight of the wait.
