Don't wait to be successful at some future point, have a successful relationship with the present moment and be fully present in whatever you are doing. That is success.

I never went out and said, "I want to do this." I never do that. I wait for things to come to me, either within or without, and I go along with it.

The ego is just waiting to identify with anything. Whether it's your misery or being a great meditator, it seeks some identification.

Waiting is a state of mind that says we want what we don't have. Therefore, with every kind of waiting we produce an inner conflict between now and the projected future. This greatly reduces the quality of our life. Are you a 'habitual waiter'?
