Winter – Dormancy

Warriors Can Hibernate

Sometimes a plan isn’t ready. Sometimes you’re not ready. Timing is everything.

Waiting for Peak – It’s a long wait sometimes, as anyone who’s ever been through eighteen years of schooling or a seemingly endless winter can tell you. But it comes faster if you turn your attention to other things.

Be Patient. A Watched Pot Never Boils. The mouse is a whole lot likelier to come out of the mouse-hole if the cat isn’t waiting on the other side. Free your mind to imagine what it feels like to be everyone, anyone, in your constructed scenarios.

Over-thinking is bad for your brain – Ever heard the expression “Sleep on it!” The only time you shouldn’t sleep on it is in the heat of battle, and the clever warrior AVOIDS battles. ALWAYS sleep on it! Ask your dreams to send insight, bubbling up from the pre-conscious. Participate in artistic pursuits, allowing metaphor and symbol to work its magic in your subconscious. Do something completely different. Refresh yourself.

Models – “To lose patience is to lose the battle.” – Mahatma Gandhi

“Grow in patience when you meet great wrongs and they will be powerless to vex your mind” – Leonardo da Vinci

“Patience is not simply the ability to wait but how we behave when we are waiting” – Joyce Meyer

“Patience and Time do more than strength and passion”

– Jean de la Fontaine

#Haiku: Ghosts

Ghosts
Enable, unmask
All our
Dormant selves
We could not
Would not
Be.
