The Skill of Waiting

Patience is actually a skill nobody teaches anymore. Little Noura sat in her grandmother's

garden, clutching a tiny pink rose, begging it to bloom instantly.

She wanted beauty now, not later. But here's the truth we've forgotten:

waiting isn't wasted time. While Noura stared at her small bud, the big roses around

her had spent months developing deep roots, weathering storms, soaking up sunlight.

Instant gratification robs us of the transformation that happens in the waiting. That tiny rose was

already becoming something magnificent. Noura just couldn't see it yet. Growth doesn't happen

on our timeline, and maybe that's exactly the point.
