This is the introduction of a book called In The Meantime (written by Iyanla Vanzant)... I just feel that it is so true, and if we deeply believe in it, we'll be able to find ourselves and the love we want...
You know where you want to be, but you have no clue how to get there. You know exactly what you want in life, but what you want is nowhere in sight. Perhaps your vision is unclear, your purpose still undefined. On the top of it all, your relationships, particularly your romantic relationships, are failing. If these scenarios feel familiar way down in the deepest of you gut, then you, my dear, are smack dab in the middle of the meantime.
Your mother, bless her hear, and your father, with all of his good intentions, did not prepare you for the meantime. They did not because they could not. No one can prepare you or help you find what you are looking for. What you need is love, not romance. Love, not more money. Love, not a new car. Love is the only thing that can make the meantime worthwhile. Once you find Love, true self love, and unconditional love for everyone all the time, things will look, feel and be a lot better. The question is: What do you do in the meantime?
Each living being wants to experience the light of love. The problem is that our windows are dirty! The windows of our hearts and minds are streaked with past pains and hurts, past memories and disappointments. The windows are so clouded by fear, self-doubt, and inaccurate information that the light of love cannot shine through. In the meantime, we keep looking through the foggy window, trying to convince ourselves that what we see is the real thing. It's not, and we know it, but we cant seem to figure out what to do until the real thin comes along. What we must do is clean. We must clean the windows, floors, walls, closets, and corners of our mind. We must mop and sweep away the stuff that trips us up, keeps us confused, and makes the meantime miserable. We can do this through mental housekeeping. If we do a good job of it, the light will come through. Once that happens, our spirits will shine, bringing in the light of true love and happiness.
