and even then you have to pinch yourself a couple times to make sure it's actually happening.

Then I guess I'd try to force myself to live my own life until whatever it was showed up, and go from there. Try not to waste too much time, even if it feels impossible.

Yes! All the time! haha. I look forward to things in life and get super excited and then I actually realize what's happening when it's almost done!

i dun think i've ever really waited dat much for anything i think once i waited like 4 months 4 sumthin and once i got it i was happy and shit but i think it was worth da wait...mostly i just do watever comes to mind sumtimes im like SHIT shudda waited lol but w/e i kno for sure if i dont get sumthin i want right away i'll forget about and not want it anymore or i just get really tired of waiting for anythin basically

[Roxxie]

but then again i get bored of things way quicker if i dont have 2 wait lol

i've been waiting so long for my life to get back on track that i forgot to live it in the process.

but i can be very patient for the main thing that i want in life to happen. very patient.

i think most important is following your gut instinct

sometimes you wait

sometimes it's best to take the opportunity that maybe right in front of you

it's all based on how you feel about it

but generally you should have no regrets in any decision you make

This is where "faith" comes into play.

apparently, good things happen to those who wait? Beats me. I'm not waiting for anything anymore...and the things i feel uncertain about that i want like kids for example, well, i figure if i want it badly enough i will have it even without the perfect picture surrounding it.

Just don't let the moment pass you by, listen to yourself...you'll know when you have to give into something because it will be undeniable and quite frankly the worth of that moment will kill all the shitty ones in an instance.

or so i concieve...or maybe its hope. Take uncertainty and anticiaption as lifes greatest gift...its not predictable and that makes it exciting and worth living..knowing that things can change in a heart beat. People come in and people go out and things get lost and re-found....we don't know, i don't know but i figure im living to find out.

sometimes if you wait long enough, and just don't push things - they really work out in the best of ways

That's more of a matter of personality than a matter of general rule. Many would claim that going off of logic supercedes going off of intuition. There's a whole Briggs-Meyers scale devoted to it, in fact.

Dance to the music long enough, and eventually the music will dance to you.

i like this. ^

i find it hard to make a comment here as i can and have waited long periods of time, but i contradict that with a "live in the moment" attatude.
but you know if i have made the decision to wait for anything, knowing it may be long, then its worth it. not often can anything really come along to challange something like that.

[Grapes]

Then there were those that made me feel good
But never as good as I feel right now
Baby you’re the only one that’s ever known how
To make me wanna live like I wanna live now!

Yeah yeah!
(Yeah yeah!)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part

[Draven GD]

but, Nothing worth doing in life is easy!

next question...how long before you give up?

As long as it takes for you to realize how pointless it really is.

don't give up.. if it's something you truly believe in.

i guess that's a little corny and naive of me to say.. but really sometimes it's best.

Totally.. but damnit, I can get so impatient. hehe

[decypher]

I guess being content with here and now while working towards the future can help you get over that impatience.

i hear you on that one... but sometimes the things most worth waiting for (and the most rewarding once you've waited) it's sooooooo hard to be patient for :)

[baby-phat]

Yeah, I suppose so. I guess it's a good thing I am working towards a goal that I know will make me very happy. (my move to Van that is)
Although, there is another thing in my life that I am currently very happy with and would like to see where it goes. :)

I can be patient, just wish I didn't have to be. lol

[decypher]

Yeh focus on the good things instead of the negative. For example, i'm focusing on how great it is to reheat day old pizza. wooo.

[baby-phat]

Mmmm, day old pizza is so good. =P

[decypher]

i heated it in a mini toaster oven too, totally beats out the microwave.
