Patience is the gold of time

There is a proverb that goes “all good things come to those who wait.” It is a well known saying which holds a lot of truth. But, I have come to learn, it is a saying that is flawed, in that it is incomplete. Waiting alone is not enough. Good things do not come to those who wait. Good things come to those who wait, but who also actively do something about their situation whilst they are waiting. If waiting was all it took to have good things in life everyone could achieve their dreams because waiting is effortless. Good things rarely come effortlessly.
