Blog #691: Sweet, Sweet Time
Why “Sweet Sweet Time” Is the Ingredient for Greatness.
Sweet Sweet Time is Shawn Anderson’s reflection on the magic of patience, persistence, and how time reveals what’s worth the wait.
In Sweet Sweet Time, Shawn shares how life’s biggest rewards don’t arrive on command—they unfold as we stay committed.
OFTEN…
This living stuff gets EXTRA hard.
I was reminded AGAIN yesterday.
She was left by a guy whom she thought was the love of her life. He thinks someone else is the love of his life.
And thus goes life.
______
Time.
The reliable ticking of the clock.
The consistent turning of the calendar pages.
I count on them.
And trust them.
______
After decades of riding life’s giant roller coaster…
I’ve learned:
Time makes the harder…softer.
Time makes the grueling…less.
Time makes the painful…fade.
I speak as no rookie.
TIME is the healing drug.
______
It feels like…
I’ve lived a zillion losing moments in my 50+ years. A zillion moments is an exaggeration, BUT…
As a lifetime entrepreneur and human being, I’ve experienced (literally!) thousands of rejections when I add up the opportunities that said I was #2, the blog subscribers who were with me and then weren’t, the endless number of “I’m not interested” words spoken from voices who carried opportunity, and the people, pets, and moments who once filled my heart with love and life… and then disappeared with a mere snap of the fingers.
I’m NOT a rookie at this living stuff.
______
BUT…
With all I’ve learned.
With all I’ve lived.
With all I’ve felt.
I unconditionally KNOW…
Time is a magical healer.
______
Maybe I’ll nudge you with what YOU feel today.
And if…
YOU are struggling with something that has you a bit upside down…
Hang in there.
PLEASE?
Just one more hour.
Just one more day.
Just one more week.
Because when you do, because when I do…
We heal an ounce.
We heal a pound.
We heal a ton.
______
We will live times that will be extra challenging.
BUT…
If we direct, guide, and massage those hardest of times, we will survive.
So perhaps this week….
I am writing to YOU.
And if I am…
Please FEEL and KNOW these words…
“You’ll be okay. You’ll survive. Keep your feet moving. Let time work its magical miracle.”
It will.

Note: For the next two weeks, I’m in one of the earth’s most special places: Alaska. Right now, the air is cold and fresh… and it wakes up my best thoughts. If you’ve never visited this magical location, I hope you do. – S.
Let the Journey Ripen Before the Reward.
Let Sweet Sweet Time remind you that some things take longer for a reason—and patience is part of the payoff.
EXTRA Thoughts…
It’s why I write.
It’s why I do what I do.
To remind us BOTH.
The life we live depends on how we choose to live it.
✨
Thank you for being a kindred spirit.
With appreciation and gratitude…
