Patience is a virtue that comes to those who are wise. It's not easy to acquire, but all round beneficial.
Life's experiences and maturity is teaching me to be more patient than I ever was.
When I was growing up and certain things happened at home, I would flare up in anger. My mother would gently tell me "my daughter, please be patient".
Learn To Be Patient with Yourself
Patience with one's self could mean learning to accept the fact that things must not always go the way you planned it. This would require a period of waiting for the actualization of our plans/goals. Sometimes, this wait would be a very long one, which would make you wonder if your goals would ever be achieved. From experience, I understand that if we clarify the value of our goals, especially during the period of waiting, it would propel us to achieve them and not to give up along the way.
I think many people are impatient with themselves, because they are trying to be like someone else. Why do you compare yourself to others? Who are you in competition with?
I learnt NEVER TO COMPARE MYSELF WITH ANOTHER, a long time ago. My belief is that I am unique, have a special mission on earth to fulfill which no one else can. So, I only compare who am I today to who I was yesterday to check for progress. Practicing this all these years have brought me inner peace and tranquillity.
