"When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of distress and anxiety. If I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, without pain."
"The most powerful thing you can do right now is be patient while things are unfolding for you."
The article reflects on the author's struggles with English proficiency, which hindered their application to study abroad. Feeling lost and frustrated after a failed IELTS attempt, the author sought solace in spiritual literature. A quote from Rumi emphasized the importance of patience and reevaluating one's goals. This experience allowed the author to understand that being fixated on a single path can lead to unnecessary distress and that opening up to new possibilities can relieve the pressure of pursuing dreams.
