We live in a day and age where people want immediate
gratification, and one is hardly willing to wait, to work hard or to endure
temporary difficulties in order to see results.
Patience is a difficult matter, which
you'll have to deal with for the rest of your life. There're moments when you'll
desire excitement, sensation, or an event. However, this isn't always possible and
you’ll be expected to wait patiently.
'Patience is a virtue'
You're making every day decisions where patience is
bounded by. Mankind is created with desires and an intellect. Your body desires
something tangible, or an event and the mind will indicate whether it's good or
bad. As a human being, it is important to consider your choices properly before
making a decision. Any decision you take sends you in a certain direction in
your life. A simple example; It happens a lot that someone arrives to late for
an appointment you've made with him/her. Are you able to wait patiently, or
will you react immediately with consideration of all the consequences resulting
your actions? We have no control over the situations in which our patience will
be tested. The only thing we can do is respond. And so we'll have to make the
right decisions.
Being patiently isn't something you can learn in one
time. It's a continuous process. It could happen that you can't bring up the
patience you normally have in a given situation. But it is important to work on
your patience. You can improve it by training it. It may help to think about
the upcoming reward for the patience you’ve shown. We humans like instant
gratification. This isn’t always possible. Think about the
upcoming result, which can strengthen your patience to endure the matter your
facing.
Remember: Life is all
uncertainty. Be patient, and you'll be fine.
