The world I know is fast pace. We re in a non stop race for better jobs, more influential friends, bigger homes, fuller bank accounts. I have heard there are places where people actually live more and run less, but that's not where I live. And don't I wish I were! A place where people are more patient A gave a lot of thought to patience today.....this in itself was practicing patience as I had to stop and think about it, than I dropped it, and then I got back at it, the subject is still nagging me. Do I even know what that is? It might be the biggest virtue out there, but surely is rare to the eye. I don't see it often. I don t give it often either. the truth....
That being said, people do grow more patient with age. We learn to recognize what's worth running after and what's not. I see it happening in myself also. ....It is very strange that the years teach us patience - that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting.... I don't own time but I choose to give it to myself. The most impatient I get is with myself, and whatever I m running after, is for nobody to clap hands or laugh at. I do what I can and hope for the best, prepare for the worst, than deal with whichever.
And than I came across this saying: you can find bargains if you have the patience to sift through the rubbish. Well, I don't think this quote talks about material things, but that's about the only area where we should be happy for a bargain, isn't it? Still, sadly, people settle for bargains in their personal life all the time. ....To say that one waits a lifetime for his soulmate to come around is a paradox. People eventually get sick of waiting, take a chance on someone, and by the art of commitment become soulmates, which takes a lifetime to perfect.... Working at it is one thing, settling yourself for failure is another, and sometimes we mix up the two. As Jobs said (RIP) : If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. After all, isn't this the best kind of patience a person can show? Not forgetting what they always wished for, and looking until finding it?
As for myself, I believe I m both patient and impatient. Patient in my believe things do work out and impatient in the way I go on about things,still. If anything, I m stubborn. Stubborn to do what I feel in my heart is right to do, and right or not, I will live it all through heart fully. Of all these sayings, I stand by this one: make your ego porous. Will is of little importance, complaining is nothing, fame is nothing. Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything.
