As mentioned in my earlier blogs, I’m on the journey to the sacred land.. The place of dream jobs, cars and houses which are all, at the moment, so far out of my reach… (well so I thought!)
I decided that when I finally got that dream job I would hunt for the perfect car, however last week (typically), I found it… I tried to wait and stand my ground but everyday I found myself lusting after it on the website. After a long debate with my parents over
Skype (it’s easier that way), I bought a new car which is gorgeous in every way shape and form. It was at this moment when I realised that patience is a virtue, which I clearly do not have!
When thinking about patience, I look to the times where this has bypassed me. I’ve always been impulsive (one of my strengths I think) and I look at the times where this has played to my advantage. My first car was an impulse buy and for the last four years, she has been my rock. However, there comes a time when good old faithful becomes not so faithful and things need to move on (sorry F KAt!).
My most recent impulse buy (apart from the car) has been my holiday, 3 weeks in America where I had the time of my life! I’ve seen things that I never thought I’d see and felt things I never thought I’d feel. From the texture of the Grand Canyon to the spray of a killer whale, it was incredible and worth every impulsive decision on the planet.
As I sit here now thinking that my years of impulsive behaviour have been worth the tears and upsets from my mum telling me to “slow down”, I consider changing my ways and thinking things through more often. However, as the saying goes, the best things in life are free but unfortunately for me, never ever worth the wait.
