Be okay with not getting what you want right away. Be okay with things staying as they are.
That may be easier said than done, but strangely there is also a certain sense of peace that comes along with giving up the fight.
When you've been trying to FORCE something to happen quickly, you are expending a LOT of mental and emotional energy! As a result you end up feeling worn out and depleted.
On the other hand, surrendering to the universe's higher wisdom and letting go inspires a sense of calm detachment and peace in the present moment. You realize that you're still okay, even without this thing you want so desperately.
Letting go does not mean you won't get what you want. It means you are choosing to know that you're okay without it right NOW. It means that the arrival of it will be a great bonus, but your inner peace and well-being are not dependent upon it.
Cape Town and the surrounding region of South Africa is suffering from a severe drought. Three years of low rain levels and an unseasonably dry winter means that average dam levels are hovering just over a quarter full. The metro area of 3.7 million has less than 90 days’ worth of water in its reservoirs, making it the first major city in the world that could run out of water.
Cape Town residents and visitors can only use 13 gallons of water per day starting in February. For those who consume more, the city’s water utility will charge a special levy that is three times higher than the current rate.
The average American uses 88 gallons of water per day, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.
