Life is a hurricane and as soon as you let go to trust it you get flown away and have your neck broken when you crash into the hard ground. I have been down far too many paths in life for them to just be dead ends. There are those who change the world and those who just let the world change them.
Your partner sounds like someone who will not settle for second best. The world needs everyone to be different. Some choose to endlessly reinvent themselves; others want to just focus on one thing. Some will wait years for that “opportunity” to never happen; while others will go out looking and creating opportunity for themselves. It not always a matter of being “impatient” it’s about how you choose to utilize your time.
I think you misunderstood me... but thank you for the comment nonetheless. I never said "put passion on pause", nor did I say "stop and wait... until you die". What I SAID, was... that life gives you tools for the job along your journey. I must also say... honestly speaking... you sound somewhat ANGRY. Please don't take it out on me - perhaps instead look at why trust and "letting go" are apparently an issue to you. If you have / had read any of my other posts, you would have a little more insight to the fact that I have as much excuse to resist trust, resist my heart and resist life as the next person... I simply choose not to live that way.
Re. my partner, you are absolutely correct, but so too, am I (and I have traveled countless paths, just like you) - and I choose to utilize my time with a mindset that while I give it my best, things will simultaneously unfold as they should.
