Waiting

Waiting is the hardest thing to do, regardless of the suspected outcome being positive or negative. Waiting for test results is difficult, especially since the outcome can go one of two ways - good or bad. Waiting to make a change in life is even more difficult, since making the change could ultimately result in immediate improvement of one's situation. I am waiting to make a life change - a relocation that will result in progression. It is difficult to wait for this. However, it is necessary. There are steps that I must take to get there, right?

What do you think?
Should one wait to make sure that all their ducks are in a row before jumping overboard, even if the end result will more than likely be awesome, regardless of whether waiting occurs? I think so, but then sometimes, I wonder if waiting is simply putting things off in a manner that might end up with the changes never occurring.

In this situation - moving to a new state, I believe that preparation and planning are necessary for success of the overall journey. There's just a part of me that is dying to be at the culmination point - the time when I can start progressing forward without lying in wait. Is a year really that long? A year's nearly past since my life flipped upside down and look at me now. I'm happy, excited about my future, and enjoying each day as if it were my last. Surely the year to follow can't be any less enjoyable than the last. I think the biggest part that's getting me is that I just know its the right move... literally. So, naturally, I want to have it now, as a result of living in a world centered upon instant gratification.

I seek the ability to build up to the point of gratification and predict that in doing so, the end result (gratification) will be much more rewarding.
