Karel, a really good friend of mine, once told me that being open to possibilities is different from hoping for possibilities to happen. What exactly is the difference between the two? Well, here's how I understood it
When one is being open to possibilities, s/he is not being expectant at all. When one is hoping for a particular possibility to happen or occur, s/he is expecting something to happen. So it's basically being expectant versus not being expectant. Now, can somebody tell me which is better? What would I risk if I do not expect? And if I did, will there also be setbacks? Such a dilemma. Now I'm starting to feel bad about it myself. What do I mean? Well, here. I feel bad for having to wait, and hope, and BLAH. I know, I know. I know that the answer is long and coming but... does it really have to be that long? God! I know in my heart that the Universe is doing these things with zero effort, and I know that they are always answering. It's true when they said that we wouldn't want to live in a world where your thoughts immediately manifests. That would be fucking crazy! And so we should just simply let the Universe do its job, and let ourselves be surprised by amazing things that it can do for us. Woooo! But of course. It is inevitable for a person to sometimes feel about about this. Why? Because most of the time, we... get a feeling that our prayers and that our wishes are not answered. And so we get depressed, and disappointed, and miserable, all because we failed to wait and got impatient. In my case, obviously, this is particularly true. I don't know how the heck the Universe or God works. And so I have the tendency to you know, be all that impatient, and UNtrusting because I don't want to wait. Believe me. If there is one personality that I would like to have, it would definitely be being patient, or being able to wait for a loooonnnnggg time. An incredibly long time. Whew. Well, if you would come to think of it. I've been waiting for more or less just 3 weeks. (laughs out loud). How funny, 3 weeks? And I'm already getting impatient? Woah me!
