Waiting is never easy. Whether you're in between jobs, hoping for a promotion, or waiting for your big idea to finally take off, the “in-between” season can feel long, silent, and uncertain. But what if this waiting period isn’t wasted time? What if it’s preparation?
In the workplace, we’re conditioned to chase results—metrics, promotions, performance reviews. But the real growth often happens behind the scenes. Being faithful in the waiting season means showing up with excellence, even when recognition hasn’t caught up yet. It means keeping your standards high, even when the opportunities feel slow.
Faithfulness looks like continuing to bring your best ideas to meetings, supporting your team, and holding onto your professionalism even when you’re overlooked or underestimated. That takes strength. That takes confidence. That takes knowing your worth.
You don’t have to prove your value to everyone in the room. You only need to remain rooted in the truth of what you bring: your work ethic, your resilience, your perspective. Staying grounded in that worth will allow you to weather any delay without letting doubt define you.
And yes—some days will feel discouraging. But don’t let delay make you shrink. Let it stretch you. Let it sharpen your soft skills, deepen your emotional intelligence, and refine the leader you're becoming.
Waiting is not a pause in your purpose but instead it’s part of it. Use the time to prepare, to grow, and to stand tall in who you are. The opportunity may not be here yet, but you are already enough.
