Optimism Thought of the Week

Waiting Our Turn

Have you ever found yourself on a runway waiting in line to takeoff, you’re anxious to get to your destination?  Generally, if you’re at a busy airport, you will find that the plane you’re on is waiting its turn to takeoff.  Once it gets the okay to takeoff, engines run at full throttle, and before you know it, the plane is ascending in the air.

Today some of us might find ourselves waiting our turn to takeoff.  We sit on the runway of life, and wonder how much longer it will be.  Patience plays a vital part in our overall success.  As we sit for our turn to takeoff, we must remember the importance of waiting our turn, and when we finally receive the word to proceed, the joy we will have once we takeoff.
