Visualizing possibilities
Instead of only waiting, one can also try visualizing one's desired goal while practicing patience. Motivation can follow before one knows it, just as long as one can persevere visualizing with as much detail as possible how it would be if one's wish were true. Even if the actual result might actually turn out to be quite different, visualizing and thinking about it can help one create possibilities even without realizing that one's work in progress is actually 'in progress...' It is in progress in one's mind already!
