For every problem or confusion and for every desire or ambition there is an available force waiting for your call.

There are many persons ready to do what is right because in their hearts they know it is right. But they hesitate, waiting for the other fellow to make the make the first move - and he, in turn, waits for you.
This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle: we are given one life and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, or whether to act, and in acting, to live.
Teach us, O Lord, the disciplines of patience, for to wait is often harder than to work.
Waiting is the great vocation of the dispossessed.
We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
Our patience will achieve more than our force.
For me, this is a familiar image - people in the organization ready and willing to do good work, wanting to contribute their ideas, ready to take responsibility, and leaders holding them back, insisting that they wait for decisions or instructions.
Some of our important choices have a time line. If we delay a decision, the opportunity is gone forever. Sometimes our doubts keep us from making a choice that involves change. Thus an opportunity may be missed.
One is never ready for success. It consecrates and looses you at the same time.
Grant us a brief delay; impulse in everything is but a worthless servant.
