Patience

I Want It ( And I Want it Now)

I want it and I will not wait......I want it.......Now
I sit at home and when I watch TV gotta have remote control with me
Oh and when I'm watching football
I can go to total recall
I got freeze frame, I got slo – mo

Can’t you grow up and be patient and wait?

A good part of growing up is learning that things do not just happen immediately and magically. Actions have to be planned. This is just how the world works. There are cycles but there are also lagging and leading variables. The seasons happen due to the astronomical cycle, orbits. However the changes in those cycles are NOT the start of the growing or weather seasons associated with these cycles. They happened because of this astronomical cycle but there are lagging and leading variables.

The longest day of summer is June 20^th, the summer solstice. However it is NOT the hottest day of summer. That occurs latter in the “Dog Days” of August. The astronomical equinox is March 20^th. However that is NOT the start of the growing season. That will come later in April or May depending on the climate zone.

The retail store Target is closed on Christmas Day. If you want to buy Christmas presents at Target, then you have to do it before Christmas morning. If Target wants to have Christmas gifts to sell to you, then they will have to order and receive them long before Christmas. If the manufacturers want to sell to Target, they have to begin their process even before that. Manufacturers may begin their processes a year in advance of Christmas for you to have gifts to open on Christmas morning. The observable cycle may only be an approximation, and small errors may accumulate over many cycles. That is why there are leap years, the Julian and Gregorian calendar adjustments, Easter, and Passover are not fixed dates, etc.

Expecting things to magically appear is being childish. Being certain about the future. and not anticipating changes in the leading variable is childish. Not dealing with changes and small errors is childish. It is NOT magic, it is science. .If you want it now, then you have to allow others to act on a cycle other than your now. You have to act certainly, not fickly, so that they can plan for your now. And you have to expect, admit, and deal with small errors, ASAP, before they become big adjustments. That IS how the Force works.
