Karmic Law #11: The Law of Patience and Reward
True joy comes from doing what you are supposed to do and knowing that the reward will come in its own time.
I have done my best to live The Law of Patience and Reward and it has been a bit trying for me, to say the least. I have learned a lot from this law about life and how some days stink and others bring a reward.
My own learning curve went like this: One holistic fair with poor sales (another holistic fair with great sales). Trade-in two-year-old car under duress; new car rear-ended on day four of ownership (but at least I was not injured). Near pneumonia diagnosed and felt awful (cured in five days with heavy-duty drugs). Work supposed to be done by others (I had to step in and complete the project because others dropped the ball). I could go on but you get the picture. My patience was tried on these four occasions in a short time and yet a bit of patience brought me a reward, as I had hoped. I am an example of how this law really works. Life happens and you have to deal with it. Take a deep breath, curse a bit, scream, or drink, or meditate, and things just might work out for you, too.
My true joy came from having patience and knowing that the reward would come in its own time as it did. My reward? Better sales so far this year, enjoying my new car, taking better care of my health, and better planning for the group that I work with. I also enjoy “me” time every day for relaxing, vegging, or taking a well-deserved nap.
Still, I fantasize about those jackpot-type rewards that are meant to tempt us all. Feisty ladies, what do you consider a reward? What would you like to happen beyond your wildest dreams?
