Anxiety, Wait for the Moment

You always want good things to happen, and you don’t want to wait for them. This is what impatience and anxiety are. They hurry you up wanting you to do things very fast so a good thing happens in little time. “Orpheus was permitted to take her away with him on one condition, that he should not turn around to look at her till they should have reached the upper air. Under this condition they proceeded on their way, he leading, she following, through passages dark and steep, in total silence, till they had nearly reached the outlet into the cheerful upper world, when Orpheus, in a moment of forgetfulness, to assure himself that she was still following, cast a glance behind him, when instantly she was borne away.” In this long quote we can see how Orpheus is beaten by anxiety and so he turns around, not following his orders and the good thing that was happening for him goes away. Sometime this happens for us. We wait for a good moment and when it comes time goes very fast and you don’t get to have fun in it. This is something similar to what happened to Orpheus, he was beaten by anxiety and his good moment was very short. You should wait for the good moment and when it comes have the best of it.
