.....this is such a common question I hear from clients. It is so easy in the process of magick to get caught up in the minutia of day to day events, and lose our sight of the long term goal.
"S/he un-friended me on FB"
"S/he has a new friend on FB"
"S/he saw me online but did not chat with me"
"S/he drove past me but did not wave"
etc etc etc
the list could go on, but you get the idea (PS these are REALLY very common things I hear from folks, I am in no way singleling anyone out at all - please dont think that). While in the moment, and with the emotional state we can be in with casting and processing (Yup - the spell CASTER does some processing as well) I can see how these events listed above, and others, can make one thing the world is falling apart.....but if we just take a beat, and a few deep breaths, and set our sights on the long term goal again, things will resume there proper perspective - I promise! Waiting is hard - I often think it is the hardest part of things - but it is also the extremely important! The calmer and more centered and more positive you can stay in the waiting peroid, the better shape you will be in physically, emotionally, and spiritually when your results begin to manifest ;-) That is NOT to be underrated. You cant give from an empty cup, and there arent any awards for handwringing, either. Make the best of the waiting period, keep your eye on the GOAL LINE, not on the ant on the blade of grass at your feet right now, and you will get to the finish line a healthier, fuller YOU.
Hmmmm - not sure where that rant came from, but I feel better now ;-)
Anyway, here is a song I found (its a goodie) to help you keep your eye on the goal, and let go of the stress of today.
What Happens Tomorrow by Duran Duran
Child, don't you worry
It's enough you're growing up in such a hurry
Brings you down the news they sell you
To put in your mind that all mankind is a failure
But nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow
We try not to show how frightened we are
If you let me I'll protect you however I can
You've got to believe
it'll be alright in the end
Fighting, because we're so close
There are times we punish those who we need the most
No, we can't wait for a saviour
Only got ourselves to blame for this behaviour
And nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow
We try not to show how frightened we are
It would seem lonely, if you were the only star in the night
You've got to believe
it'll be alright in the end
You've got to believe
it'll be alright again
time is a river
a silent icy river
pulls us all
running deep
deep and fast enough to get lost down in the flow
thrashing around me
tiny lives mean everything
And nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow
So don't let go, now we've come this far
Hope I have peace
Understand me
you're never alone
We've got to believe
it'll be alright in the end
nobody knows
You've got to believe
it'll be alright my friend
So don't let go
Unless we believe
it'll be alright again
Nobody knows
