Patience
Do you hate to wait? Many people do. Many of us have little patience
or at least not enough patience. Having patience can be a golden gift we
develop. We are not born with patience. In truth, we are born with
impatience. When we are first born we want to be fed and changed on
demand. As we grow and mature, we learn or need to learn patience as a
part of our maturation process. To achieve our hopes, dreams, goals, and
ambitions, we must learn to wait patiently for opportunities. We must
learn to be patient during our days and years of study, preparation, and
training. In short, the future comes to those who prepare patiently for
the future. Being able to patiently wait while we are in constant
preparation enables us to focus on what is important at the moment and
focus on what our next actions will be. When adversity strikes, patience
is again golden because we can respond to adversity with calmness and
assurance. Impatience is a huge hindrance. Impatience is borne out of
immaturity. To learn patience, we must continually remind ourselves that
whatever we work for can come to fruition in time and time is on our
side. Time is not necessarily the enemy. The enemy is often our own
impatience at having to forestall our wants and needs being met.
