Why Time Doesn’t Matter To You At All

What you want is already yours.

Life is testing you, and it can be tough on you. Circumstances are showing you the opposite, and you feel like giving up. I’ve had those moments.

You become impatient, and impatience disconnects you from who you are. Being impatient is a sign of weakness, but you must practice being patient.

Things don’t always go our way at first, which can be challenging. All you have to do is be stubborn about your desire, even if the whole world says no. It’s okay. Just take a deep breath and keep believing in your wants.

This phase is a good reminder to stick with: Circumstances don’t matter.

You’re stuck in traffic, you have homework to do, and loved ones are mad at you. “It can’t get worse.” — You think, but those events are testing your patience.

I know you want your desire quickly. I get that. I have had those moments as well, but there is nothing to do but wait. The best thing you can do is live as if you already have your desire. See it, feel it in your mind’s eye.

You don’t have to set up a deadline for getting your desire. If it doesn’t come before the deadline, you will feel hopeless and disappointed. Already feel as if you have what you desire now.

Your mind starts to spiral when you don’t get what you want fast. It comes from lack and being desperate. You will get what you wish to before you give up, so persist shortly.

Our ego can be like a child who wants everything right now. If you don’t get what you want, you become angry, irritated, frustrated, and hopeless. You don’t have to react to your ego. You’re in control of your life, s why are you stressing out so much?

You can have a breakdown when a problem appears, or you can calm down and ask yourself, “How can I solve this problem?”

Being angry over a small problem won’t solve the problem quickly.

The question is, how will these emotions solve the problem? Do you want to flip out when there is long traffic, and there is a long line for a ticket, or do you want to find a solution, breathe deeply and tell your mind that everything’s going to be alright?

Patience is super important.

I’m not saying you should let go of what you want, but you should let go of your doubts, anger, frustration, and all those negative emotions blocking you from what you want. They delay your desire.

If you want your desire and you feel hopeless one day, allow yourself to cry for a day or two, and when you cry, keep affirming by saying, “I will get what I want no matter what. “

Enjoy the feeling of already having what you want. If you enjoy being in that state, keep doing it. If it feels good to you, go for it. Stop looking at the time. Humans created time to stress us out.

Tell yourself things like:

“I know the situation feels like forever, but everything will work out just fine.”
“I won’t let my desperation control me because I know I will get my desire.”

Relax your mind, take a deep breath, and try again. If it doesn’t work the first time, try again and again until you get it right. In the future, you will thank yourself for being strong and consistent.

If someone becomes angry at you, stay calm. Showing anger back won’t help. You have to be the bigger person. If you’re calm, people will be calm. If they don’t, they have a problem.

See it this way;

The universe didn’t happen overnight, nor did Earth. It took billions of years for Earth to become the way it is today.

Some things happen overnight, some items take time, but time doesn’t matter. It takes time for the sun to rise over the horizon and flowers to blossom.

It takes time to work on ourselves. Our orders take time to arrive, but we enjoy the process while waiting.

Once you get your desire, you will be happy for being consistent no matter the circumstances. You will experience delayed gratification, and it was worth the hard work.

Stay consistent, stop looking at the time, enjoy your life while working on what you want, and have fun.
