Waiting . . .

If you've never heard of The Law of Attraction, I'll explain it to you now, in brief. The Law goes like this: Anything you want, the universe gives you. Anything. Be it good or bad. If you think it, if you want it, it will come to you - as long as you allow it. You see, it's not immediate. It takes time for the universe to arrange itself to deliver whatever it is you want.

This is how I always feel about the time between sending out the queries and receiving an answer. I send out my request to the publishing universe and then . . . I wait. And this is where the doubt can set in, because you've got nothing else to do with your restless and hungry mind. Sometimes you get many no's and so you have to wait while you mail more. In the quiet of waiting there is only you and your belief.

This is the great gift of the waiting. This is where you get to learn the meaning of faith. Faith is nothing when you've got offers pouring in; it's nothing when you've got peers and teachers praising you. In the quiet solitude of the wait, that is where you find out the meaning of faith. And really, it's only faith you've got to carry you through from the Idea to the Creation, and from the Creation to the release to the world.

Faith is just another word for You. And it is in these quiet moments where you get to meet yourself as you might have never done before.
