How to understand "wait without hope"

We always eager to understand “when it can be achieved” or “when it will happen.”
Eliot gives a different answer in “East Coker”:

“I Said to My Soul, Be Still”

I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing;
wait without love,
For love would be love of the wrong thing;
there is yet faith,
But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.

We Don’t Hold the Timing

Live in the moment, and do the things you can do—no matter how small.

• You can work hard, but not be anxious;
• You can trust, but not rush;
• Not giving up, but releasing control;
• Not stopping, but not obsessing over the progress.
