True Love Has No Time Limit Or Deadline

We live in a busy world where most of us have gotten used to a very hurried life. Everything is on a strict schedule and time limit, because we now judge everything this way. We have become a restless society demanding instant solutions and immediate gratification in all things.

If the line is too long at the supermarket or fast food restaurant, some of us get upset. If we have to wait for our doctor when we have an appointment, we become annoyed. Some cut in front of others, or even cross streets while the light is still red, because they hate to wait.

Similarly, if we do not get an immediate reaction from our latest love interest, some of us do not become just a little restless or anxious. No, they get really upset!

If this kind of hurried, rushed way of life plagues you, then you may definitely need an major attitude adjustment. Because your naturally loving heart and your capacity for love and romance may be in serious trouble.

Maybe your heart never got the memo that there was no need to constantly hurry up and adhere to time limits and deadlines. What happened to dating? Romantic chats? Patiently anticipated expressions of affection? Dozens of love letters, and more recently emails and test messages? The joint holidays and weekends away? The looking forward to new adventures together?

What happened? What happened to living wholeheartedly in the moment? What happened to just enjoying the ride without constantly watching the calendar or the clock?

The one joy that we all desire and cherish is being loved and feeling special in someone’s eyes. To be affirmed, to be accepted and appreciated, to belong. It gives us an inner peace and happiness that cannot be found in any other way. Love and belonging is a fundamental necessity in everyone’s life. No matter how busy you are.

I knew why love was always described with eternity. A single minute stretched out for lifetimes ~ Shannon A. Thompson

Too many times I have had clients bring up in a love and relationship reading the question: why is it taking so long? “I’ve known him for almost a month now, why are things progressing so slowly.” “She knows how I feel about her, why is she so slow on the uptake?”

What exactly is the rush? There is no time limit for anyone to prove their love and worth to you. Love does not always happen the way we want it, as soon as we want it. A loving, caring relationship is one of the few things in life that we cannot buy, or create by ourselves. It requires an investment of time and energy from both parties. Truly meaningful, lasting relationships are built over time and grow organically. It cannot be forced or demanded. True love has no time limit or deadline.
