Patience.

It's often overlooked these days. We get everything at such an accelerated pace, that we tend to take the simplest things for granted. Forgetting that the things we cherish the most take time to sculpt. To receive a flower, one must water and share sunlight over time. To receive love, one must give their own time and energy. The perfect waves in our lives don't happen in an instant. We have to prepare our boards, swim out to sea, and wait. There will be waves that pass that urge us to turn back and take what we've been given. And sometimes we take them and enjoy the ride. But with a little bit of patience - we can look out in front of where we float, in that very moment, and realize we've finally caught the perfect one.
