Lisa, you are right about that....it is hard to wait for what we want to happen, but sometimes we have to. I'm a very impatient person so that is hard to do. We all will be patient and wait for your next book. Good show yesterday.

Sue

Allo Lisa,

Sometimes i can be a very patient guy…

That’s why i brought my sleeping bag and i’m already waiting in the Meet and Greet line in Le Capitole de Quebec…with 6 gallons of hot coffee… ha! ha! ha!

Take care and see you in Time ;0)

Oh this is such a good blog... I can totally relate. However, I am learning as welll that the more you fight something to happen for you, the worse it will get cause I dont beleive it is suppose to happen at that time. As you say though, if you go with the flow it will happen if its meant to and it will happen when the time is right.... I am learning to live by this daily and it's working for me. No expectations... just go with the flow :) If any one knows about my impatience lisa, it's you lolol.
I went through this recent period of constantly looking for the signs...and they were everywhere. I pull a card from Colette Baron Reids deck daily and for a week it was a reminder bout patience and letting things go and to just ride along with it and let things happen as they will..... by doing so its' really made me see things differently. Everything works so much better if its meant to be. And if it's not meant to be, what is the point of fighting against a battle you cant win. It's wasted energy !!!
Great blog hun :)

Atmos

Hit the nail right on the head! As always Lisa your timing is amazing................

Blessings

hi my love,. Its great having you back with your blogs and the fact that we csn respond.

How true this last blog. Patience is a virtue., and we all must wait for whatever it is that we want. I thank God that that is one of my gifts if you will. I have all the patience in the world. I guess that goes with being a true Capricorn.

Anyway my love, thanks for being you and I can't wait for your book to come out so I can get it. Do you have any idea when that will be? I know I can wait for it!!LOL!
Thats where the patience can come in to play. Especially when you want something so bad. HAHAHA!

Love ya lots,
Mary

Yikes :D i knew I came to the right place. I'm usually very patient , but this has been ridiculous. Tom Petty had it right "The waiting is the hardest part" ! you're always right on time Lisa . Loved your radio program yesterday , very informative . Have a wonderful Day ;0

Hey there Lisa,

It's funny because even with wisdom and knowing that there is a divine reason for delays in life, I still become impatient at times. LOL, I suddenly have this visual of a 2 year old stomping their little feet, and pouting...ha, ha. So yes, maybe I have had one of those moments and what a sight :). NYer's are freaky impatient and downright scary at times especially when the train is delayed... I go the other way when someone is pissed off :). Seriously, I often wonder why we all do this ...like really what is the rush? Whatever we don't do in this life, we will do in the next or the next. Gee, we have an eternity to get stuff done. Hopefully, Brian Weiss will be around in my next life to do past life regression to help deal with the shit from this life. So I say we should all just chillax and love one another!!!

Love ~n~Hugs,
DS

Dear Lisa,

I know what you say is true...everything happens for a reason and we need to be wise enough to capture the lesson behind.

At the moment I try to think like this but I wonder when will it all change...I need to get a job to support my family and I have all the qualifications I can get and no matter how much I try I just don´t get it! I try to think this is a challenge but as time passes by it is impossible not to despair.

I wish you all the best and thanks for everything you do for others!

Dear Lisa,

Well this is going to be the shortest comment ever from me. Usually typing is second nature to me but I went and burnt all my fingers on my right hand while trying to cook a pot roast for friends. I was doing so well too... I started at 3:30 and had started all the veggies, set the table, broke the Bar One choccies into the double boiler to melt for chocolate sauce, and BAM I splashed the hot fat from the meat all over my hand... bloody hell, it is so sore (although numbed with pain killers right now)... cancelled dinner, had hand dressed and bandaged, and now I have to find the patience for it to heal and use only my left hand. Well I guess at least friends don't need to read long comments from me for a while!

I once said to my dad... patience is a virtue dad! And his reply was "patience is only a virtue when you have time, and I don't have time"... don't know why that has always stuck in my mind.

Hugs and love,
Jeanette

OK... I know you are totally right. As backup, the tab on my teabag, yesterday, said: "The longer the wait, the sweeter the reward." Guess I'll catch up on the laundry while I wait.... After all, I'm only 60, & still at the beginning of the rest of my life! Loving you so, sweet girl.... O:-}a & LB

l needed a sign today and your post just gave it to me. l don't know about you but l think l was sitting in the back of the classroom drinking when God handed out our life lessons. Sure, l can handle ........,sure throw that one at me as well,l can take on the world. l continue to fight negative thoughts and playing the victim but l am human and separation is hard. Letting go is hard. Sometimes l feel that letting go of the dream is hard. The house,the husband,the kids and with that finacial security. l was saying to my brother Liam in the car this morning,l have to believe that this experience is positive,l truly believe that this experience will allow me to help others in the future . l make a note of thanking the universe and my guides and angels for everything l have experienced in my life,good and bad. l can take my own power back by doing so.. The hardest lesson so far is letting go of the dream,my marriage. Yes l have cried some heavy tears today(the moon doesn't help) and yes l have a long way to go but l know that all will work out and fabulous things will be achieved,l won't accept anything less.Love to all Racca xoxox

Yes it's true we are ll impatient because sometimes life is hard and when we have the courage to fight for life, we want to see the changes right away and yet awe have to wait..
Today I just had the greatest day as it was my birthday and I had so many signs and messages from people I love everywhere and it was beautiful, some of my friends suprised me and I was so delighted. I am truly thankful for my life and my friends and I was proud and grateful that I turned 30 and was surrounded by so much love and tenderness. I have again many dreams to come...

Sending you much love Lisa,

Lise

I truly believe that Lisa I am very very very impatient ask my daughter she will tell you. but I am learning to be patient. I believe everyday there is a lesson and you need to figure that out and only you can do that. once you realize what the lesson is what your waiting for will be there. The days I feel very impatient I try and take a deep breathe and slow down and remind myself that it will come when the time is right. if it don't then it was not meant to be

You're right (as usual) Lisa...developing a sensitivity to timing is one of the best things you can do for yourself.

Lots of Love

Lana

Hi Lisa,

Thank you for reminding us! We all sure need to be reminded time and again! You are fabulous, girl!

Jeanette,

Thats ashame. I don't get to read your long comments this time around? (Oops, sorry to hear you burned your right hand's fingers). We pray that your injured hand will heal soon. I wonder if you notice what you wrote the last time? " I will try to make them shorter " (ie ur comments). See how your positive affirmation came through??? I think Lisa's blog has special message to her fans wanting to meet her? Your time will come but NOT NOW! BE PATIENCE!

In love and light

Hi again Lisa,

Strange as it may sound, on second thought I would think that the word "PATIENT" can be subjective. I happened to reconnect with Lizzie, a Reiki Master and my healer early this week, and she did mentioned that I am 'impatient'. I said YES, I can lose patient BUT with certain people and certain condition, ie especially with super rude people, but I would think my assertiveness is most time mistaken for not having patient. So in that sense I beg to differ.

In love and light

thank lisa, I really hope you are right

Hi Lisa,

That's a really hard concept for people to understand that 'we actually plan our own challenges in our lives before we come'. I know I set hard challenges for myself, and that my daughter also set hard challenges, but in different ways. I keep trying to convince people that they shouldn't blame 'God' or 'the world' for bad things that happen to them - that it is all just a part of what helps them become better people. I have found that writing simple poems has affected people more than words of prose.

What I do find intriguing is when I see 'patterns' developing. A person can sail along without trauma and then suddenly in one year can experience a lifetime of heartache. Someone at work lost a child at the age of 13 to cancer. This changed her perspective on life and found herself protecting her other two younger children. Recently one of these children - a girl - now aged 18 has suddenly developed a life-threatening condition - not cancer and not related to her sister's illness. Now my friend has to go through the pain of losing another child, just when she was about to become a young woman. This young lady is so talented and it seems such a waste of a life - that we just can't understand why anyone should have to suffer this way.

However, when we look at the bigger picture, my friend has become so much stronger, so much more in tune with nature and so much more focussed on the 'good' in life. Many people often prefer to see the negatives in life and make little effort to help others - it takes trauma and grief to bring out the emotions required for us to tune in to others. Grief brings people together.

Sadness

Sadness wrenches our hearts
Releasing energy
That helps us heal our hurt.
Sadness grips at our soul,
Allowing us to feel
The pain of life and strife.
Sadness enhances light -
Renewing energy
That gladdens heart and soul.

So have patience with sad
And weather stormy times;
Release joy in your heart
And know you have the strength
To face the wind head on
With courage and vigour;
To once again feel trust
In all you need to do
To gladden heart and soul.

Susanna

I think it's human nature to worry about the future and want things now, before it's too late, so to speak..We all worry...that while we are capable of doing things, we want it all to happen ASAP...Sometimes we seem impatient,and alot of us become over concerned even more so than others, that their time is running out, instead, we could all just living in the moment? XXX

Susanna, it's good to see your words here again, whether in the form of a poem or otherwise.

I think because we don't remember choosing the paths we have chosen, it is difficult to always come to terms with the hardships that some people have to live with. I am sure it would be so much easier to understand if we could remember past life experiences or choices. I do feel for the people who have really difficult life experiences, especially when compared to others who seemed blessed with all the good things life has to offer. I'm sure it is hard for the people suffering to remind themselves all the time that they chose this for themselves. Why can't we remember making these choices... wouldn't the lesson then make more sense?

Life is truly complicated in many ways... is it all about faith and positive belief?

Peace,
Jeanette

I started to write something silly and changed my mind. I get frustrated having to wait but when friends help you with different jobs around the yard sometimes
you have to fit in with their plans. Does all this help make a person more patient
and thoughtful of others. I hope so in my case. Have a good weekend to you and Charlie.

Hi Lisa,

Reading your blog I felt like you were talking to me as I have been waiting to do some major work around the outside of our house for just over five months. Things have to full into place for that to happen and things seem to take for ever.
The older I seem to get the more less patient i'm getting.
With life been so busy i wont everything done yesterday, on from that with working long hours i just wont to come home and have those things done that we cant do ourselves. I'm also finding been out building gardens is so satiisfiying and grounding.
Take care and big hugs to all

Thanks, Sweetie - this helps today.

Hi Jeanette,

In my life I have met people who have obviously chosen an easy path for themselves. People who have come to enjoy life and reap all the benefits. These people, however, do not progress spiritually - and to me that is the whole purpose in our lives. I don't think it's that people forget what plans they've made - I think that that is part of the challenge when we're here. It took me a long time to come to realise why I had been involved in a course of events that have shaped the way I live my life. Now, every time I am faced with a challenge, I read it and respond in a fully conscious and much stronger way.

A little insight into me:

At the age of 4 I saved my grandmother on 2 occasions from burning to death - once was a kerosene lamp that was deliberately turned up so high, the whole room was aflame with heat. I calmly went in and removed the lamp, even though it was incredibly hot. A week later, my grandmother's bed was smoking. Again I calmly went in, removed the power cord of the electric blanket that was lying on top of the bed on fire. I then quickly wrapped all of her bedding in a pile and threw it on the floor to smother the flames.

My mother had a mental illness - she didn't like my father's mother. After these 2 incidents my grandmother went to live elsewhere.

A short while later, my mother sought gratification in many different ways. She turned to me. One of these was to force me to go to the neighbour's house next door each Sunday for 3 hours. He was alone. My mother was fully aware of the situation and what was occurring. This went on for 2 months until one day he damaged me so badly I needed hospital treatment. Sadly my mother used to get pleasure from seeing such harm. (My whole childhood was a series of episodes for such purposes!).

But we can all make choices about how we respond to situations. I choose to become more enlightened, believing that I was fortunate to have had the opportunities to grow spiritually. As a teenager I learned self-defence, and have experienced 54 physical attacks in my life - many from strangers - that's what I meant about 'patterns'. Now that I have overcome that challenge, it won't present itself to me again in this lifetime.

Another poem for today:

Live for today,
As you don't know what's around the corner;
Treasure what you have -
Your loved ones
Your health
Your beauty
The sun and rain, wind and snow, and flowers.
Don't waste your time -
So many people just drift through their lives
Without knowing what
They really want -
They buy
They party
They collect all manner of useless things.
Care for others
As you don't know when you will need their help;
Be not quick to judge
Others' faults
Their looks
Their habits
But look to the purity of their souls.
If you do this
You will receive your rewards in due course;
And you wil have found
your true self -
Understanding
Happiness
And a genuine insight into love.

Susanna

Thanks for this blog! I read it exactly at the right time. As an aries, patience has been a constant lesson for me...lately, especially! I really needed to hear this. Thanks for the encouragement!
:) love and hugs,
