I was browsing about the other day at various quotes and came across some from one of my favourite story book characters, Winnie the Pooh. Now I know the genius that was A.A.Milne wrote the quotes but I like to think Winnie the Pooh came up with them!!
There were many that I nodded at and felt an understanding of but this quote is one which stood out for me. So often, advice is given to us which basically tells us if we wait long enough, that person, be it friend or lover, will come to us. It's a nice thought but surely a little lazy too? I mean, this quote has it all right, sometimes just waiting will get you nowhere and no-one. Even when you think you've done 'nothing' your attitude probably came across differently.
Maybe Winnie the Pooh is right, perhaps we need to go and search too and meet at a middle point. This is not to say this makes you crazy or desperate or whatever else people think it would make them. It shows a belief in yourself I think, that you can get to the point where you are happy enough to go out and say this is me, I'm willing to work for something I want and not sit and wait.
