Being patience is something that seems like an almost lost idea in
the world at this time. I remember when I was a child my mom and/or dad would
tell me I needed to be patience about stuff and eventually it would come with
hard work. I took that to heart very often, but at times I would let the
thought disappear into the wind wanting stuff to happen right away.
Hit me the other day that I have been
drifting further the way of being a patience person awaiting and working hard
to get to those goals and getting upset because things were not happening right
away. I think this came to light when I was wondering why people in movies and
around me in personal life and at work are not patience. At first I blamed
technology solo, but I think that's just part of the issues and will be talked
about later. After I began to develop that theory, I tested it against myself.
What I had found was yes, in fact I did
have less patience because of technology but that was just slightly the reason.
I had found that I was impatience because I was tired of thinking about when
the event was going to finally come into action. I noticed the more the event
or goal did not come to light and the more effort put into effect just made my patience
level drop even greater.
Now with the technology that is available
at this time patience is on a thin string. You can get a letter from someone in
an instant through an email, messenger, or through some other program. So right
there we can't even wait the 2 days for "slow mail." Now even with
other stuff patience is minutes and seconds instead of hours and days.
With that said I found that when I say
words, statements and pictures of achieve a goal like that I think right away
why? Why did they get to the point so fast and I am still behind. Now you add
in several people getting to a goal of that sort your patience time has been
cut fairly deep. Add in the fact you are putting in so much effort to get to a
point and nothing it hits you even harder. What is one to do...
Well just that figure out why and
understand each situation is different, each person is different and a goal is
always slightly different. You must understand that patience is in fact a
virtue. Something to strive for and understand that time will come and tell. I
might have to work on this a lot but I think I am going to strive at accepting
that I might not get certain goals but with wait comes great presents.
"Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come."
