Patience has never been one of my strong suits – when I make a decision, I want it done yesterday. It means I tend to worry unnecessarily, working myself into a frenzy over something that usually sorts itself out in (agonising!) time. Ever since I made the decision to move to another hemisphere, I’ve been learning lessons in patience. I’m a slow learner on this score, but the last few weeks have reminded me that accepting a situation and putting it to rest in your mind, rather than wrestling with it, is the perfect way to allow the universe to act on your behalf.
