About This Quote
This quote is most commonly associated with the phrase, "The best things in life are worth waiting for." The idea that "the best things happen to those who don't wait" is a common saying intended to encourage people to become more proactive about their lives. For instance, most people would agree that better things happen when they are proactive. They are the ones who make the most of their opportunities, they are the ones who work hard for what they want, and they are the ones who spend the time necessary to get what they want. Yet, it can be an extremely dangerous way of thinking. It's all too easy for people to become so overwhelmed by the possibility of waiting for something better that they lose sight of what's already happening in their lives.
