"Waiting is a state of mind. Basically,..." - Quote by Eckhart Tolle
Waiting is a state of mind. Basically, it means that you want the future; you don't want the present. You don't want what you've got, and you want what you haven't got. With every kind of waiting, you unconsciously create inner conflict between your here and now, where you don't want to be, and the projected future, where you want to be. This greatly reduces the quality of your life by making you lose the present.

“The vital function that pets fulfill in this world hasn't been fully recognized. They keep millions of people sane.”
“Ask yourself: Is there joy, ease and lightness in what i'm doing? If there isn't then time is covering up the present moment, and life is perceived as a burden or a struggle.”
“The primary purpose of life is in being in the NOW.”

“If you are not too long, I will wait here for you all my life.”
“Why don't they have waiters in waiting rooms?”
“Waiting is a state of mind that says we want what we don't have. Therefore, with every kind of waiting we produce an inner conflict between now and the projected future. This greatly reduces the quality of our life. Are you a 'habitual waiter'?”
