Mindset Mondays with DTK – Ep #120 — Patience, grasshopper …I am NOT a patient person by nature. I want answers and want them NOW. And I'm finding that some of those quick answers tend towards the easiest ones … and likely not the best. I'm learning that what would serve me better is a lesson from Rainer Maria Rilke in Letters to a Young Poet:"Have patience with everything thatremains unsolved in your heart …live in the question."My realization is not merely that I am served by giving more time to the process. What resonates most deeply from Rilke's quote is the reminder that came from ONE word: heart.By turning over the unsolved in my head, I careen toward an answer. When I hold the unsolved in my heart, the gift is getting to live in the question.The answers that surface from my heart are always the richest ones … and the truest.Where does your truth come from?

Episode #120 — Patience, grasshopper …
I am NOT a patient person by nature. I want answers and want them NOW. And I’m finding that some of those quick answers tend towards the easiest ones … and likely not the best. I’m learning that what would serve me better is a lesson from Rainer Maria Rilke in Letters to a Young Poet:
“Have patience with everything that
remains unsolved in your heart …
live in the question.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke
My realization is not merely that I am served by giving more time to the process. What resonates most deeply from Rilke’s quote is the reminder that came from ONE word: heart.
By turning over the unsolved in my head, I careen toward an answer. When I hold the unsolved in my heart, the gift is getting to live in the question.
The answers that surface from my heart are always the richest ones … and the truest.
